Frequently Asked Questions
How long do your products last and what is the shelf life on your products?
Where should I store my product?
Akuwa skincare products should be stored at room temperature between 50°F to 77°F. We recommend avoiding keeping your products in direct sunlight or heated areas to preserve them for the maximum time.
Can your products be used on any skin type?
Yes, our products are formulated with stable ingredients that work great on all skin types! Akuwa provides an inclusive skincare that is toxic-free, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and earth-conscious. The ingredients we use are effective and work well on all skin tones, including skin of color.
What is the difference between sodium ascorbyl phosphate and L-ascorbic acid?
Both compounds are vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid is the purest form of vitamin C and is very effective but can be very unstable. It oxidizes when exposed to heat or sunlight and sometimes causes irritation in the skin. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) is a derivative of L-ascorbic acid and is much more stable, and in return gentler on your skin. Because of its stability, it is more effective on your skin. Studies have shown SAP is also a great acne fighting agent.
How do I get the best results from your products?
To get the best results with any product, is to apply it with attention and intention! We typically rush through out the day. But take your time when applying skincare and really massage it into your skin for best results!
Results may vary based on skin condition. For detailed instructions, we recommend that you visit: https://akuwaskincare.com/collections/all and check “how to use” under the products you would like to use.
In what order should I use your products?
Step one: after washing and/or using a toner, we recommend applying Elite Glow Serum to help fight acne, brighten your skin, hydrate, and reserve signs of aging.
Step two: apply Ultra Vital Pudding moisturizer to the face to nourish and restore your skin barrier.
Both Elite Glow Serum and Ultra Vital Pudding moisturizer could be part of your morning and evening skincare routine. When using in the morning, apply sunscreen as a final step.
