How to Choose & Apply Your Astaxanthin Serum

Whether you're new to Nibu or looking for the perfect shade, this guide will help you choose the right Astaxanthin Serum and show you how to get the best results from every application.

Choose Your Shade

Our Natural Glow Astaxanthin Serum is available in three shades, allowing you to achieve a healthy-looking glow that complements your natural complexion.

All three shades contain the same nourishing skincare ingredients. The only difference is the depth of colour, so you can choose the finish that best suits your skin tone and personal preference.

Shade Best For
Natural Glow Fair to light skin tones or anyone who prefers a soft, natural-looking everyday glow.
Glow Darker Light to medium skin tones or those looking for a warmer, sun-kissed finish.
Glow Deeper Medium to deeper skin tones or anyone who prefers a richer bronze glow.

Looking for an Overnight Serum?

If you're looking for skincare while you sleep rather than a daytime glow, our Glow to Sleep Astaxanthin Serum is the perfect companion.

Designed as part of your evening skincare routine, it helps nourish and hydrate your skin overnight, leaving it feeling soft, refreshed and radiant by morning.

Many of our customers enjoy using a Natural Glow Astaxanthin Serum during the day and Glow to Sleep Astaxanthin Serum in the evening for around-the-clock skincare.


How to Apply Your Serum

  1. Shake the bottle gently before each use.
  2. Apply 4 to 6 drops to clean, dry skin.
  3. Massage gently over your face and neck using upward circular movements.
  4. Allow the serum to absorb before applying makeup or additional skincare products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the Natural Glow Serum under makeup?

Yes. It creates a smooth, hydrated base and leaves your skin looking naturally radiant.

Can I use the serum every day?

Absolutely. Both serums are suitable for daily use.

Should I use both serums?

Many customers enjoy using the Natural Glow Astaxanthin Serum during the day and the Glow to Sleep Astaxanthin Serum as part of their evening routine.

Will the shades cover my skin like foundation?

No. The Natural Glow Astaxanthin Serums are designed to enhance your complexion with a natural-looking glow rather than provide the coverage of a foundation.

How long will one bottle last?

With daily use of just a few drops, one bottle will typically last around one month, depending on how much you use.
