6 Reasons Your Skincare Routine Isn’t Working For You

You have a skincare routine because you care about your skin's health. You're probably throwing away time and money. Here's why you should stop wasting product and start applying serums with Droplette.

Meet Droplette! Droplette is a dermatologist-approved system designed to deliver skincare infusions without needles or pain through a powerful yet gentle micro-mist.

Now that you know what Droplette is, here's why your favorite product might not be working for you:

1. Ingredients don’t actually get into your skin.

Many traditional topical solutions like creams and serums stay on top of your skin rather than being absorbed effectively. Droplette is designed to put the "in" in skincare. It creates a fast-moving micro-mist to deliver ingredients past the barrier and into the skin, where they can actually be effective. 

2. It doesn’t hydrate your skin and sometimes it causes drying.

Ingredients in topical solutions (such as retinol) can actually cause irritation and redness. Even moisturizers work by preventing water from leaving the skin rather than delivering water inside of the skin. Droplette was created to solve these problems: The formulas are completely water-based and, in addition to delivering actives into skin, the high-velocity aerosol delivered by Droplette is designed to deliver 50% more water than can be topically absorbed. This is meant to leave your skin ultrahydrated and crafted so that ingredients that are otherwise irritating don’t cause the same problems in your skin. 

3. “Penetration enhancers” do more damage than good.

Since some topicals may be unable to naturally deliver ingredients into your skin, formulators sometimes use chemical penetration enhancers that may disrupt the skin barrier and can cause the skin to react or dry out. Droplette’s dermatologist-developed formulations are made without these extra additives since the device can deliver large actives into your skin mechanically instead — without needles or pain.

4. It takes too much time.

Time is precious. A skincare routine that requires multiple steps every morning and every night can be tedious and tempting to skip. Droplette is quick and easy. It takes less than a minute to deliver actives directly, which means more time to focus on the other important things in your life.

5. It’s not fresh.

Once you open a bottle of serum or lotion, it gets exposed to air and light. Actives like vitamin C start to degrade as soon as they’re exposed to these elements. Droplette’s recyclable capsules are filled with formulations and immediately sealed until usage. Once the capsule is punctured inside the device, the contents are used within seconds of exposure to air, meaning that the active ingredients haven’t lost their potency. 

6. The ingredients aren’t dermatologist-approved.

Every brand tries to stand out in a crowd so many skincare companies formulate with obscure ingredients rumored to have skin benefits. Droplette doesn't mind staying basic; it includes only dermatologist-recommended active ingredients chosen specifically to give you just what works without the fluff.
