Handcrafted Nighttime Wrinkle Serum

Designed as a nighttime face serum, this handcrafted formula combines aloe vera, vegetable glycerin, hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, vitamin C, and a blend of plant oils.

Formulated for nighttime care of fine lines and wrinkles, it contains hyaluronic acid, which is commonly used to hydrate deeply and plump fine lines. Carrot seed oil is regularly used to support skin regeneration and tone. CoQ10 is frequently used to minimize signs of photoaging. Vitamin C is often used to brighten dull complexions. Aloe vera is usually used to support hydration. Vitamin E is also commonly used to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration. Glycerin also acts to support hydration. Rosehip seed oil also helps soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. White willow bark extract, grapefruit oil, and rosemary are also commonly used to clarify blemish-prone skin and pores. Xanthan gum and cetearyl alcohol also act to control thickness and stabilize the formula. The serum also contains DMAE, a synthetic compound commonly used for a temporary skin-firming and lifting effect and to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.

Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.

Pairing Note

Aroma: Topical interaction paired with aroma becomes aromatic‑surface experience. Cultures combine botanicals with oils, creams, and hair treatments because aroma carries symbolic meaning, lineage, and spatial identity (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). These practices persist because aromatic pairing strengthens emotional recall (Herz, 2016) and supports cultural continuity (Assmann, 2011).
