KALME TeQ
Modified on Thu, 15 Oct at 10:04 AM
| 1. Is KALME TeQ Serum suitable for rosacea-prone skin? Yes. KALME TeQ Serum is made specifically for red, dry and rosacea-prone skin. It uses prebiotic blue agave extract and plant-based squalane to deeply hydrate, calm sensitivity and help repair the skin barrier, which often becomes dry and depleted as rosacea settles. It contains no fragrance, preservatives or harsh actives, so it is gentle enough for daily use on reactive skin. |
| 2. Is KALME TeQ Serum greasy, and why does it feel like an oil? KALME TeQ Serum is an oil-based serum built around plant squalane, so it feels richer than a typical water-based serum and can look oily when first applied. It is not greasy once absorbed. A few drops are enough for the whole face, and pressing it gently into the skin helps it sink in within a minute or two, leaving skin soft rather than shiny. If your skin is oilier or breakout-prone, use it at night and start with a small amount. |
| 3. How do I use KALME TeQ Serum, and how much should I apply? Apply KALME TeQ Serum morning and night to clean skin, using just three to five drops for the whole face. Smooth it over the face, including around the eyes, and gently press in until absorbed. A little goes a long way, so avoid overloading the skin, as using too much is the main reason any serum can feel greasy. In your routine, apply it after cleansing and before your day cream or night cream. |
| 4. When should I add KALME TeQ Serum to my routine? You can use KALME TeQ Serum on its own as a hydrating serum or as part of your KALME routine. Within the range, many people add it once their core routine is established and their skin is responding well, particularly when skin starts to feel dry, tight or flaky as redness settles. It works morning and night and suits any season, but is especially useful in winter or during menopause, when skin tends to be drier. |
| 5. Can I use KALME TeQ Serum around my eyes? Yes. KALME TeQ Serum is gentle enough to use on the delicate skin around the eyes, and many customers use it to soothe dryness, flakiness and tightness in this area, including dry eyelids. Apply a small amount carefully around the eye area, avoiding direct contact with the eyes themselves. Its fragrance-free, preservative-free formula makes it suitable for this sensitive zone, where many other serums are too harsh. |
| 6. How long does KALME TeQ Serum take to work? Many people notice softer, more comfortable and better-hydrated skin within the first few days of using KALME TeQ Serum, with relief from dryness and tightness usually the first thing they feel. For visible improvements in redness and overall skin resilience, we recommend using it consistently morning and night for at least two to three weeks. Like all KALME products, it works gradually and improves with regular use rather than offering an instant fix. |
| 7. Why is it called TeQ Serum, and does it contain alcohol or tequila? The "TeQ" in KALME TeQ Serum comes from Agave Tequilana, the blue agave plant that is also used to make tequila. The serum does not contain any alcohol or tequila. The blue agave is included purely for its skin benefits: it is a natural prebiotic, rich in inulin, that helps support the skin's microbiome and has soothing properties that help calm redness-prone skin. |
| 8. Can I use KALME TeQ Serum if I have dry or eczema-prone skin but not rosacea? Yes. While KALME TeQ Serum is made for redness and rosacea-prone skin, it suits anyone with dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin. Its plant-based squalane and prebiotic agave deeply hydrate and help repair the skin barrier, and the simple, fragrance-free formula is well tolerated by reactive and eczema-prone skin. Many customers use it to soothe dry patches, flakiness and tightness anywhere on the face, including around the eyes. |
| 9. Can I use KALME TeQ Serum with my other skincare or prescription treatments? Yes, KALME TeQ Serum works well alongside the rest of the KALME range and most other skincare. For best results, apply it after the KALME Cream Cleanser and before your day or night cream. If you use a prescription treatment for rosacea or another skin condition, we recommend checking with your doctor before combining products. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin is very reactive. |
| 10. What makes KALME TeQ Serum different from other hydrating or hyaluronic acid serums? KALME TeQ Serum is a prebiotic serum designed specifically for red, dry and reactive skin, rather than a general hydrating serum. Its prebiotic agave extract helps strengthen the skin barrier and rebalance the skin's microbiome, which is often disrupted in rosacea-prone skin, with a hydrating action shown to outperform hyaluronic acid. It is preservative-free, fragrance-free, vegan and made in Britain, and part of the KALME range trusted by people with redness and rosacea for over 20 years. |
