Does this work for sensitive skin?

Yes! CEO Serum is formulated with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a gentle, non-acidic form of Vitamin C that delivers brightening and antioxidant benefits without irritation. To further support sensitive skin, the formula includes phytosterols (plant-based forms of cholesterol) that help support the skin’s natural barrier and soothe visible signs of redness. The result is a glow-boosting serum that feels nourishing, not sensitizing, even on delicate or easily irritated skin.  

 

Our tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is pharmaceutical-grade, sourced from Japan - meaning it meets advanced requirements for purity, making it gentler for your skin than cosmetic-grade alternatives. 

What if I have dry skin? Oily skin? 

Yes, CEO Serum is designed to work beautifully for both dry and oily skin.

 

For dry and dehydrated skin, our next-gen humectant pulls in hydration (for up to 30 hours), to provide softness and comfort to skin that feels tight, dull, or depleted. Phytosterols work to support the skin barrier, helping moisture to stay in the skin. 

 

For oily or combination skin, plant-based phytosterols not only work on the skin barrier but also help to balance excess oil, while tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (Vitamin C) helps to visibly brighten the look of discolorations. For oilier skin types, you may not need a moisturizer afterwards. 

 

Whether you're dry, oily, or somewhere in between, CEO Serum brings glow, comfort, and visible radiance - without disrupting your skin’s balance.
