BRAND
-
We understand that brands often use phrases like this but lack an actual definition. Creating evidence-based skincare is part of our ethos and mission – so it's a good idea to define what we mean.
We want our products to do something. That means only selecting ingredients that have third-party peer-reviewed studies with in-vivo data to support their claims. It also means using those ingredients at or slightly above the % they are proven effective and formulating with the right pH, so the actives are stable.
Some of our ingredients are from natural origins, and we know that the quality and potency of a natural ingredient can vary from supplier to supplier. So, we only partner with manufacturers and growers who have in-vivo clinical data to support their claims.
We are constantly striving to improve our evidence-based approach. We will conduct a subjective third-party clinical trial on our final product formulas when we have enough capital.
If you have suggestions on how we can improve, we would love to hear from you. -
The safety of ingredients, quality of sourcing, and level of testing are a priority for us. Our goal is to create safe, evidence-based skincare that does what it says it will. Throughout the formulation of For Face Sake, we worked with two certified dermatologists, three cosmetic chemists, one independent testing lab, and a certified Melbourne based manufacturer. We conducted independent preservative efficacy testing and stability testing to ensure the shelf life and safety of the product.
While formulating this product, all medical and scientific experts we consulted expressed concerns about the "clean" beauty movement. That's because clean beauty has no actual definition and sometimes causes more damage to the skincare industry than good. It intentionally excludes and demonises proven, safe ingredients and encourages you to think that any brand, not "clean" is "dirty". We know it's more nuanced than that, and you can't say an ingredient is "dirty" without acknowledging the dose or application method. For all of these reasons, we reject the label "clean". We are evidence-based. -
"Free from" claims often spread fear and misinformation about ingredients and use shady science to support claims. And a "free from" claim tells you nothing about what the product does. We're not fans of that. We choose to talk about what's in the jar rather than what we leave out, so you'll never hear us say those two F words about any ingredient.

Combination Skin
-
Combination skin is when different parts of the face behave differently. Typically it means a more oily nose and forehead, known as the T Zone, and dryer cheeks and jawline, known as the U Zone.
-
If you feel like one part of your face is more oily than the other, you probably have combination skin. Another sign is if different parts of your face react differently to the one skincare product.
It can be challenging to find the perfect product if you've got combo skin. Your T Zone can become more oily, or your U Zone can be left feeling dry.Take the quiz on our website to learn your skin type.
-
Your T Zone has higher sebum (oil) production and larger pores. Here blackheads and visible whiteheads are more common.
In the U Zone, less sebum (oil) is produced, but when it increases during hormonal changes, the opening to the pores is smaller, so inflammation, build-up of skin cells, and sebum remain under the skin. In the U Zone, pimples tend to be "blind" or inflammatory. -
If you have combination skin, choosing treatments for blemishes can be difficult. Typically the U Zone responds to some blemish treatments by becoming dry and sensitive, and the T Zone responds to oils and moisturisers by becoming pimply and oily.
Make Me Wet™ AQUAPORIN Hydrating Milk Serum
-
Aquaporins are the skin's natural hydration system. They're like taps throughout your skin, with microscopic channels transporting water between your skin cells. Sometimes, the taps are closed or not working properly, which can cause dehydrated, dull, textured skin. When the taps are open, they distribute water effectively, leading to smoother, brighter, more supple-looking skin.
This Make Me Wet™ AQUAPORIN Hydrating Milk Serum uses an AQUAPORIN Hydration Complex with evidence for enhancing the skin water distribution channels (aquaporins), turning on the taps, and encouraging your skin to better and more effectively hydrate itself. It's like a cheat code to hydrated, plump, bright-looking skin. -
Make Me Wet™ is a highly hydrating daily-use serum with a multi-faceted formulation that ensures deep and long-lasting hydration. It has a thick texture with easy spread across the skin that makes your face feel smooth, plump, bright, and healthy.
-
You should use the Make Me Wet™ AQUAPORIN Hydrating Milk Serum if your skin is textured, flaky, dull, irritated, or congested. It will effectively hydrate without contributing to excess oil flow.
-
Use the Make Me Wet™ AQUAPORIN Hydrating Milk Serum straight after cleansing or after our For Face Sake™ Multi-mask. Apply a generous amount of the serum to your face and neck and use it twice a day for best results.
-
We are animal testing free and all the ingredients we use are vegan.
-
Yes, we offer a 40-day feel-good guarantee. It takes your skin 28-40 days to turn over and truly see the impact of some active ingredients. Don't feel good about your first purchase during those 40 days? Return it for a full refund.
-
We have conducted independent clinical testing to prove the efficacy of the serum. We also conduct stability and preservative efficacy testing with an independent lab and an independent safety report to ensure that Make Me Wet™ is safe for use. The product passed with the highest grade possible. It is not a legal requirement for brands to conduct these tests in Australia, but safety is a priority for us.

Face Flood™ is a weightless gel moisturiser that nestles into your skin, leaving a smooth, velvety natural finish with instant and long-lasting hydration. It has a gel-like texture that breaks into a water essence when applied to the skin. No shine. No congestion. No breakouts.
-
You should use the Face Flood™ AQUAPORIN Soothing Hydrating Gel Moisturiser if you have combination or oily skin and want a super lightweight moisturiser that won't cause congestion or make oily areas more oily. But it still effectively hydrates and soothes dry parts of your face.
-

For Face Sake™ Multi-mask
-
For Face Sake is a multi-mask that targets different areas of your face at the same time. Two unique formulas come in one jar, designed to apply together. One formula is for your T Zone and the other for your U Zone.
-
For Face Sake is an ideal addition to your routine if you want to clear, brighten, and hydrate your skin.
-
Different parts of your face behave differently. And For Face Sake treats them that way. It targets both the T Zone and U Zone at the same time. The creamy whipped butter absorbs excess oil, unclogs pores, and reduces the appearance of blemishes on your T Zone. While the soothing jelly nourishes, calms, hydrates, and gently exfoliates your U Zone – leaving a soft, smooth, and clear complexion.
-
Blemish treatment products can be too drying. And when your skin is dry, your body's natural response is to produce more oil. This means more oil in your T Zone. But in your U Zone, where the pores are smaller, the oil can't get out onto the skin, resulting in more sebum (oil) build-up and inflammation under the skin.
For Face Sake treats the different areas of your face differently. We worked with dermatologists to choose ingredients and formulate them specifically for the T Zone and U Zone, so your skin becomes balanced and spot-free. -
For Face Sake is formulated for blemish-prone skin. And it works to target different types of pimples on different parts of your face.
Your T Zone typically has more comedonal, less inflammatory pimples or pustular pimples (open pores and blockage near the surface of your skin). For Face Sake, unclogs the pores and reduces oil on your T Zone with ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Kaolin, and Niacinamide.
The U Zone has more inflammatory deep papular pimples (closed pores) and can often become drier. For Face Sake soothes and calms your U Zone with ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Colloidal Oatmeal while gently exfoliating and hydrating with Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Hydrolysed Hyaluronic Acid.
-
Easy peasy. Cleanse your face. Apply the U Zone mask first, followed by the T Zone mask. Leave both masks on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Moisturise your face following this treatment and use it twice a week for delicious results.
-
For Face Sake is best applied in the PM, before an event, or on a Sunday night in. Use it straight after cleansing and before any serums or other treatments.
-
Yes, it is. The ingredients within our formulas have not been flagged as a concern for people pregnant or breastfeeding. However, this topic requires a more nuanced conversation than many brands allow. To claim a product is undoubtedly safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, you must conduct clinical trials in the context of pregnancy. These trials do not exist and are not ethical. While the ingredients and process used to make this product are deemed safe by experts, no testing has been completed on pregnant or breastfeeding people. Despite saying otherwise, this is likely the same for all skincare products you own.
-
Yes, the Super Soothing U Zone Jelly has a mix of five different Alpha Hydroxy Acids to gently exfoliate your skin. It's normal to feel a slight tingling sensation. It means the actives are working.
-
We have conducted stability testing and preservative efficacy testing with an independent lab to ensure that For Face Sake is safe for use. The product passed with the highest grade possible. It is not a legal requirement for brands to conduct these tests in Australia, but safety is a priority for us.
