~ Why does the Protective Day Serum cost more than other Cactus products?

This is not just another serum. It’s an all-rounder powerhouse designed to replace multiple products in one. Every drop is packed with advanced bioactive technology and next-generation plant actives that protect, hydrate, and visibly improve skin health.
The formula includes clinically backed ingredients that defend against UV, pollution, and blue-light damage while also strengthening the barrier, brightening skin tone, and reducing fine lines. These multi-action ingredients are among the most advanced and expensive to source and stabilise, which is why the cost reflects its potency, innovation, and efficacy.
Unlike basic serums that target one concern, this one does it all: protection, hydration, and radiance in a single step delivering professional-grade results powered by nature and science.

~ What makes this serum different?

It combines bioactive antioxidants, barrier-supporting actives, and lifting plant peptides in a lightweight formula designed for everyday wear. It’s not just skincare — it’s daily skin defence and renewal in one intelligent serum.

~ Can I use the Protective Day Serum with other products?

Yes, absolutely. The Protective Day Serum is designed to layer seamlessly with other skincare products. Its lightweight, bioactive formula absorbs quickly without pilling or heaviness, making it an ideal base for moisturisers, facial oils, or sunscreen. You can safely pair it with products containing Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or gentle exfoliants. For best results, apply it after cleansing and toning, then follow with your preferred moisturiser and SPF during the day.

~ Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes the Protective Day Serum is carefully formulated for even the most sensitive skin. It contains certified organic plant actives such as Aloe Vera, Prickly Pear Extract, Green Tea, and Rosehip Oil that work harmoniously to soothe, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier. Free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemicals, this lightweight serum helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and restore balance—making it perfect for dry, delicate, or reactive complexions.

~ When will I see results?

Most people notice their skin feeling softer, smoother, and more hydrated within the first 7–10 days of daily use. With continued use over 4–6 weeks, you’ll see more visible improvements in tone, texture, and radiance as the bioactive ingredients like Ectoin, Prickly Pear, and Vitamin C strengthen your skin barrier and enhance natural glow. Because the formula works with your skin’s natural renewal cycle, results continue to improve with consistent, long-term use.
