The multi-talented vibrance and elasticity booster that just knows what you need / 1 oz The Dara Kennedy Sea Serum is an innovative hydrating, multi-dimensional, and adaptive serum for more vibrant, resilient skin. It starts by addressing what your skin craves the most, and its benefits build on one another in an intelligent, cumulative way. What it does Our many testers, of widely ranging ages and skin types, noticed slightly different effects at first: skin felt better hydrated or seemed calmer — and in several cases, with fewer breakouts. Some noted that the moisturizers they used on top of it seemed to penetrate more easily. After a few weeks, though, we all noticed brighter, softer, firmer skin and thought the same thing: “My skin just looks so good,” along with, “I will never stop using this product. Ever!” It makes sense: everyone’s skin is a little different, and it might lack vibrance, firmness, or smoothness for different reasons. The fact that this multi-talented formula works a little differently on each person — but with similar “my skin just looks better” results — speaks to its unique ability to address skin’s needs on a deeper level: it addresses the specific mechanisms behind the conditions we’ve heard most of our customers mention over the past 12 years (dryness, dullness, sensitivity, sagging) in a way that is both cohesive and profound. How it works At the heart of the Sea Serum's formula are marine plants that have evolved and adapted over hundreds of millions of years with protective, rejuvenating mechanisms. The gorgeously green, silky formula features local, sustainably harvested Giant Kelp, the same ingredient in the Sea Soak; like the Sea Soak, even the first application feels healing and rejuvenating, like a dip in the ocean. And over time, with a proprietary blend of actives that includes 5 additional seaweeds and coastal plants from California, France, and Ireland — natural master adapters — this multi-dimensional vibrance booster has clinically proven power to brighten, firm, soothe, and fortify while deeply hydrating, obviating the need for multiple treatments. Working with those master adapters are tried and true ingredients like multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, hydration-boosting polyglutamic acid, multi-benefit niacinamide, collagen-boosting peptides, and barrier-restoring squalane that enable the formula’s benefits to continue getting better and better. As a holistic system, it addresses skin’s needs at the surface (microbiome-balancing and barrier-restoring) and below (firming and both preventing and addressing existing hyperpigmentation), even nourishing nascent skin cells so they grow stronger and healthier, creating a virtuous circle of benefits shown in the image on this page. We call this type of formula “biointegral,” and it’s simply how we think beauty and wellness products should work. The Dara Kennedy Sea Serum is powered by ingredients clinically demonstrated to: - Significantly reduce brown spots, even on darker skin tones that can't easily use lasers- Improve firmness by up to 62% in just two months- Prompt a 20%+ increase in NMF production after 14 days (which means that it helps your skin lock in and regulate moisture more effectively)- Reduce redness and protect skin's microcapillaries, limiting UV stress-induced activity by up to 74% for more resilient skin- Provide protection against UVA- and UVB- induced free radical damage (important note: it’s not a sunscreen, it’s a sunscreen helper — please wear your sunscreen!) Good to know This is important: with protective and brightening abilities that muscle even Vitamin C out of the way, the Dara Kennedy Sea Serum packs a serious punch, but it suits the most sensitive skin. “Hurts so good” skincare can become a thing of the past, where it belongs. Bonus superpower: it’s also an incredible team player. Use it under any face oil, lotion, or cream on our shelves to feel like you’re cocooning your skin in a protective, rejuvenating, healing bubble — and you’ll notice that the products you apply over it seem to work better, too. And the important cherry on top: in recognition of the planet that has made this plant-based formula possible, and the need for us all to give back and protect it, 5% of every sale goes to Climate Changemakers. Climate Changemakers is an incredible community that advocates for equitable, science-based climate policies that have the greatest positive impact on climate change — and encourages all of us to join in and help. You can learn more about them on our blog. We are so proud of everything about this product, thrilled to have it featured already in 7x7 and Town & Country Magazine, and hope you love it as much as we do. (If our testers' experiences, and the fact that Dara's used it every day for the past 1.5 years, are any indication...we think you will. The Sea Serum has quickly become our single best selling product.) Find out why Dara developed this product on our blog, and what our long-term testers have noticed here.
