Osmosis Catalyst AC-11 DNA Repair Serum tips and info

For me, this serum is the cornerstone of the Osmosis line because of its ability to repair the skin. It has helped so much with my hyperpigmentation. You can use the Boost Mist or Infuse Mist to thin and you can also use a couple of drops of water.

Purchased the Catalyst and Boost Mist mainly to help diminish broken capillaries on my face as well as applying on my eyelids to Tighten my hooded eye lids. I’ve also seen Osmosis say to mix with Rescue and a few spritz of boost and really massage into the skin as it can just sit on top of the skin. I’m not one to mess with such finicky skincare, but I’m hoping it will be worth the fuss. But without mixing with Boost and another serum, it’s extremely sticky. I have found that Spraying my face a bit more with boost and massaging it into my skin, I’m starting to see results.

Hello! Do you think it is effective to use the Osmosis products only at night? My skin is so sensitive, I don't wash it with soap in the morning, I only use soap at night, In the morning I only use Avene Thermal water, toner, moisturizer, then apply sunscreen and that has worked so well to keep my skin calm and hydrated. I've noticed that my skin becomes extra sensitive and dry if I use a cleanser twice a day. Therefore, I wouldn't want to use the Osmosis products in the morning only because I'm not using cleaner on my face.

I do recommend that my dry and sensitive skin clients cleanse only at night and just rinse with warm water in the morning. You can still apply serums in the morning even though you are not “cleansing” with a cleanser. The water rinse should be enough, especially for dry skin because they don’t produce enough oil that they require a cleanse in the morning. What are you using to cleanse your skin with? It should never feel tight and dry afterward. If you have sensitive skin you should always patch test your product before applying to your entire face. Then you should slowly introduce the product into your routine. So apply once, wait a week and see what happens, then give it 3 days before your next application. If you are okay with every 3 days after a couple of weeks, then apply every 2 days for 2 weeks. If you are okay with that try applying everyday. This suggestion is for sensitive skin. You can adjust the amount of Catalyst you use, so if you are sensitive, use less with more Boost or even just once a day. Hope this helps!

@@studiotikitibu5306 After experimenting with numerous cleansers that left my skin feeling tight and dehydrated, my "magical formula" is Aveeno Calm + Restore Cleanser, followed by Avene Thermal Water Spray, then Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner. This leaves my skin so hydrated and calm. (I have mild rosacea) Because I've heard nearly all Osmosis educators explain that the skin should be a clean canvas prior to applying the Osmosis serums, I am a bit concerned because I don't know how clean my skin actually is in the morning considering I don't use a cleanser, and the serums are on the pricey side, so I wouldn't want this to be a "waste" of product, which is why I've considered applying serums only at night after I cleanse, versus just splashing water on my face in the morning. I tried the Osmosis cleanser (Purify) and I experienced slight stinging, and it definitely stripped my skin excessively, so I've stick with Aveeno for quite some time. Thank You SO Much for your in depth response - I very Much appreciate it!!

That is another reason why I have hesitated using some of the Osmosis serums that contain citrus oils because I have such sensitive skin. Considering my skin couldn't handle Purify, I question how well my skin can handle the serums. Thank You SO very much for your in-depth response. I very much appreciate your expertise!!

How do you think this compares to Skin Ceuticals or Truth Treatment C if you have tried those? I have all three and used SC for years. I love Truth Treatments C as well. This is causing a bit of a rough time for me with the dark color and layering with other products no matter how much I rub it in. I’ll try again as you suggest. Thanks for the review ☺️

[@studiotikitibu5306]

I haven’t tried the SkinCeuticals or the Truth Treatment C. Catalyst is different in that it induces repair. Using less and using either the Boost or Infuse Activating mists helps to thin the serum will allow for better penetration of the product. I have used water to thin but the Activating mists are better. Boost is for drier, aging skin and Infuse is for more normal to acneic skin.

Thank you for discussing application and order of application. Is this a morning or evening routine?

[@studiotikitibu5306]

Hello! The Catalyst AC-11 and the Rescue serum should be applied morning and evening for best results.

very interesting, i just started with this product line, and i am loving it. I have the Rescue, catalyst, infusion spray and renew and calm. Love them so much... 🌟🌟🌟🌟 With Catalyst i use a pea size with Infusion spray twice a day. I want to work on my rosacea, but will start using on age spots on hands . Great video thank you again

[@studiotikitibu5306]

Thank you for watching! Be consistent with your routine! This is a product line that helps to repair the skin so it does take time and consistency. I had the acneic form of rosacea around my nose and after using the Catalyst and Rescue my skin has healed and the rosacea is gone. The repair process can bring things up. I had bumps come up and red spots but kept with my routine and they cleared on their own.
