In what order should Loulu Hawaiʻi products be used to create a regimen?

AM Regimen:

Step 1: Pod Power Duo*
Step 2: AstaFusion® Radiate AM Oil
(Step 3: Aloha Radiate AM Elixir)

PM Regimen:

Step 1: AstaFusion® Rejuvenate PM Oil; for those with sensitive skin, use the PM Oil three nights a week, alternating with the AM Oil on the other nights.*
(Step 2: Aloha Rejuvenate PM Elixir)

*If desired and tolerated, the Pod Power Duo can be used twice a day before the oils.

How long should one wait between applications of the Pod Power Duo?

After applying the Vitamin C Glow Pod, allow 5 minutes for the activated Vitamin C to absorb fully into skin. Follow with a light misting of water or toner, then apply the other products in your regimen.

How many times a day does one use the Vitamin C Glow Pods?

Use Vitamin C Glow Pods once a day, in the morning (after cleansing and before oils, treatment serums, moisturizer and SPF). If desired and tolerated, Vitamin Glow Pods can also be used in the evening; Loulu Hawaiʻi Vitamin C is gentle and shown to be ideal for most skin types.

Can water sprays be used in conjunction with Loulu Hawaiʻi products? And if so, when?

Water sprays (misters) can be used to rehydrate skin, before our AstaFusion® oils and Pod Power Duo to enhance absorption, or as a final veil.

What about use with other skin care (toner, creams, sun care, etc.)

AM Regimen:
cleanser, toner/water spray, Pod Power Duo, AstaFusion® Radiate AM Oil, SPF

PM Regimen:
cleanser, toner/water spray, AstaFusion® Rejuvenate PM Oil, moisturizer

Is there sunscreen protection in these products? Can they be used alongside sunscreen protection, if not?

The Pod Power Duo and AstaFusion® oils do not contain sunscreen protection. They can be layered underneath SPF.

Can the pods be activated by other products? What is recommended? If not, why are they sold separately?

For optimal results, the Vitamin C Glow Pods should only be activated with Makalau SC™ All-in-One Activator included in the Pod Power Duo.

Note: Vitamin C Glow Pods and Makalau SC™ All-in-One Activator are not sold separately.

Why do AstaFusion® oils leave a blush of color on my skin?

When first applied, the AstaFusion® oils leave a blush of color on skin; this is due to the algal Astaxanthin, a red carotenoid pigment that gives both oils their rich orange hue.
