3W8L Energy Active Serum EX 50ml

3W8L Energy Serum EX is made to cover several bases in one bottle, hydration from sodium hyaluronate and saccharide isomerate, calming from madecassoside, asiaticoside and centella asiatica leaf extract, and firming support from adenosine and acetyl tetrapeptide-5. Niacinamide and squalane round out the formula, positioning it as an all-in-one active serum rather than a single-focus treatment.

FAQ

Q: Is this a serum or an ampoule?
Ans: The brand markets it as a serum, meant for regular daily use rather than the shorter, more concentrated use typical of an ampoule.

Q: Can this be used on sensitive skin?
Ans: The centella complex is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin, though the formula does contain fragrance, so patch testing is worth doing if you're fragrance-sensitive.

Q: Is this the same as the standard 3W8L Energy Active Serum?
Ans: 3W8L has both an Energy Active Serum and an EX version; ingredient lists between the two may vary slightly, so checking the packaging on your specific bottle is worth doing for full confirmation.

Q: How long does it take to absorb?
Ans: The texture is on the richer side for a serum, so allowing a minute or two before applying moisturiser or makeup helps it settle fully.
