The skin is our largest organ, the one that protects us from the outside world. Constantly exposed to external stressors, the skin reacts and adapts to environmental conditions in many different ways and evolves as we age. Tailoring your routine to your skin's particular and changing needs is key to a healthier complexion. This is where our new range of boosters comes in. Formulated exclusively with highly effective, plant-based active ingredients such as mushrooms, prebiotics and probiotics or vitamin C, they have been thoughtfully crafted to adjust the routine beyond your skin type and precisely address specific needs, be it lack of firmness and elasticity, wrinkles and fine lines, blemishes and photoaging, rosacea or acne breakouts. The main idea is to keep the skin healthy, balanced and luminous with the right concentration of natural ingredients, with no toxic ingredients, and in a respectful way, even for the most sensitive skin.

How do boosters work?
Think of boosters as supercharged pre-serums, a concentrate of active ingredients specifically selected to treat specific concerns and accelerate results. Unlike serums, which combine active ingredients that work to improve the overall health of the skin, a booster is more of a concentrate of highly effective ingredients designed to deliver a powerful surge of the most appropriate nutrients and actives to treat specific skin concerns. While face serums are often broad-spectrum blends, concentrated boosters are ideal for customizing your routine and targeting your skin’s needs, which may change depending on your age, the time of year, your lifestyle habits or even your emotions. You can stick to just one or seamlessly combine them –with each other or with other serums or moisturizers­– to create your personalized routine.

How to choose your booster?
At ROWSE, we believe beauty goes beyond skincare, and skincare goes beyond skin type. From age and genetics to diet, lifestyle habits and your emotional wellbeing, there’s a myriad of factors involved in the health and appearance of your skin. Knowing your skin and responding to its changing needs with 100% natural, toxic-free ingredients is essential for keeping it healthy and glowing, regardless of your age, gender or skin type.

Even if you're in your 30s and have healthy skin, stress or hormonal changes can disrupt its balance and lead to acne outbreaks, sensitivity, and reactivity. If this is the case, add the Pre and Probiotics Booster to your routine: it balances the skin’s microbiome and restores its natural barrier function to better shield the skin against external aggressors like UV rays, pollution, or stress.

Sunspots, photoaging, or acne marks are often common over 30, when cell renewal slows down, and collagen loss accelerates. You should introduce our Vitamin C Booster and its antioxidant benefits to your skincare routine: it helps fade dark spots and acne marks and helps stimulate collagen production to even out the overall skin tone and bring back your healthiest glow.

Over 40s, or whenever you feel skin dehydration and elasticity loss, which might often come associated with hormonal imbalances or menopause, the Mushroom Booster will visibly revitalize your complexion. Based on the skin-repairing benefits of Poria Cocos, this pre-serum helps lock in moisture, stimulates collagen, firmness, and elasticity, and smoothens wrinkles and expression for softer, healthier, replenished skin. If stress or hormonal changes come together with irritation or acne outbreaks, you can combine the power of mushrooms with the skin-balancing benefits of pre and probiotics. The idea is to respond to your skin's needs and provide what it requires at each moment.

How to use our boosters?
You can seamlessly incorporate the boosters into your skincare routine, whether in the morning, evening, or both, every day or on alternate days. After cleansing and toning the skin with Organic Rose Water, apply 1-2 pumps of booster onto your fingertips and spread it evenly over the face and neck. Gently press the palms of your skin to ensure complete absorption. Wait for a minute to let the active ingredients penetrate your skin, then follow up with your usual serum or moisturizer. Alternatively, you can mix the booster with the serum and apply them together. There's no issue with combining different 'boosters' in the same routine; you can do it simultaneously, some in the morning and others at night, on different days of the week, or during different seasons. You can address multiple concerns at once, creating a personalized and flexible routine, always adapted to the changing needs of your skin.  

Can boosters be used in the morning and at night?
As versatile as effective, our boosters can be used in the morning, at night, or both. It depends on your preferences and your particular needs and concerns. Just remember to layer on high-protection sunscreen at the end of your morning routine, especially after applying the Vitamin C Booster.  

Do I need to use a booster and a serum?
Boosters work as a pre-serum, so they can be used in combination with your regular serum or moisturizer to maximize your routine. Both our boosters and serums have been formulated with 100% plant-based, non-toxic, highly active ingredients. Let the booster fully penetrate into the skin after layering on your regular serum. Alternatively, you can mix both products and apply them at once.  

Are boosters suitable for all skin types?
Yes, our boosters have been formulated to treat specific concerns that go way beyond the skin type, but are suitable and gentle enough for all skin types. They are formulated with 98.7% ingredients of natural origin, 86% ingredients of organic origin, plus a 1.2% broad spectrum preservative to protect the formula, accepted by natural cosmetics and EcoLabel certified. In any case, it is always advisable to perform a small test before the first use to rule out possible allergies or reactions. Apply a small amount to the inside of the wrist and wait 12-24 hours to evaluate possible intolerance.  

Are they pregnancy-safe?
As is the case with many active ingredients, there are not enough studies to support that they can be used with absolute safety during pregnancy. In any case, it is always advisable to consult your doctor beforehand. No adverse effects have been reported during breastfeeding.
