Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum is rich creamy-serum that offers the effects of both antiaging serum and light but deeply hydrating moisturizer. It is truly a unique product with a scent of vanilla and a hint of a caramel undertone.

Storing temperature is critical when it comes to natural products. Please, for ultimate texture and functionality, follow the instructions given.

To preserve freshness, keep our freshly made serums in their original packaging, in the fridge, and permanently closed when not in use.

SUITABLE FOR: all skin types

pH: ~ 4.0

SKIN FEEL: rich, quickly absorbing serum with a radiant finish, resulting in a well-hydrated, younger-looking, glowing complexion.

AROMA: a warm, delicious scent of vanilla hinted with caramel and powdery undernotes

Long-term use improves skin texture, diminishes fine lines, and improves the overall look and feel of the skin.

Phaedra’s natural vitamin C complex is prepared from organic freeze-dried fruits with the highest vitamin C content, namely Acerola and Camu Camu. Acerola is known to have 50–100 times higher vitamin C content than orange or lemon.

The freeze-drying preparation process where the frozen fruits are placed under a vacuum leads to the highest preservation of their original vitamin C content.

As such, Phaedra’s Vitamin C complex is much more effective than synthetically prepared and inexpensive ascorbic acid.

Our blend of Bakuchiol and organic carrot CO2 extract in jojoba oil represents a natural alternative to synthetic Retinol. Bakuchiol has been clinically demonstrated to reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkles as efficiently as Retinol, with a better skin tolerance. Together with our organic carrot CO2 extract, they act against aging and visibly minimize skin damage.

African Argan, Marula, and French Apricot oil deliver lipid-soluble vitamin E together with beneficial omegas.

A careful selection of botanical extracts, such as Gingko Biloba, green tea, French organic aloe vera, cucumber, and red wine extract, deliver potent antiaging properties.

Never rushed with harmful solvents, their preparation at room temperature happens slowly in beautiful France to yield their full potential.

HANA DEFIES WINTER

★★★★★

Michelle M. | Australia | 15/7/22
Skin type: Mature
Verified buyer ✓ (reviewed via BeGenki)

I do not like serums that feel like – or are – basically oil, even the good oils. This is not that. I absolutely love this serum and so does my skin. I’m 53 with dry skin. Winter is particularly harsh on me and I often joke that I only age in the winter. After using this serum for a couple of weeks my skin is not only hydrated, it feels soft to the touch. The scent also makes me swoon. The price is a downside. I took a chance on this product based on the ingredients + Sam’s review. A lot of products have beautiful ingredients but aren’t actually effective. The price tag is worth it to have found a product that is a) full of clean, luscious ingredients and b) actually does what it claims to do. If you can afford it, I highly recommend treating yourself and your skin to this indulgence.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

One of the best products I have ever tried, which offers the most pleasant experience. I love that I received the serum a couple of days after production, and opening my first bottle was such a sensorial-rich experience! It smells gorgeous and has this unique texture for a serum. It feels more like a light yet rich moisturizer. It hydrates profoundly! My skin immediately turned velvet and radiant, although it was pretty dry after colder months. Fantastic serum and a must-try! I will be repurchasing with the next round.

I personally use the Hanna Defies Time Serum morning and evening. And I can really say: I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! My skin feels silky soft and is extremely nourished and moisturized the whole day and night. My sensitive skin looks healthy, glowy, and is never irritated, although there are many actives in that serum. So at the moment, it is my personal favorite, and I will never skip it in my routine. Mornings, I put Erato’s on top, and in the evenings, Ex Prunis. Phaedra’s two face oils make the perfect extra nourish addition to help lock moisture in. Thank you for your amazing products!

I’ve just finished my first bottle of this beautiful serum, which I shared with my husband. And my gosh, it is beautiful. But first, it’s the scent that got me hooked. Quite possibly the most beautiful scent I’ve ever inhaled, and throughout the day, I kept getting whiffs of the aroma. Heavenly! What I also love about this serum is that it really is 2 products in 1. Yes, it’s a serum. And yes, it’s also a moisturiser. I didn’t need an oil or cream on top. It nourished and moisturised my skin perfectly. And left my skin looking and feeling amazing. Glowing. Hydrated. Soft. Smooth. And healthy. Love it!

Amazing serum! It keeps my skin moisturized all day long and I do not even have to apply day cream on top of it! I will definitely continue using this one.
