FAQs

Is this just water?

No. VAYU contains plant-derived compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolics and polysaccharides, that help bind hydration to the skin and improve how it interacts with oils and serums. This changes both how the skin looks and how products perform.
Is this something I wipe off like a toner?

No. VAYU is not removed. It is absorbed into the skin, where it functions as a base layer that prepares the skin for what follows.
Why does applying oil to damp skin matter?

On dry skin, oil tends to sit on the surface. On slightly hydrated skin, it disperses more evenly into a finer layer, allowing it to absorb more effectively and perform better.
Do I need this if I already use a high-quality face oil?

Yes. Even well-formulated oils underperform on dry skin. VAYU ensures the skin is in the right condition to receive them.
What difference will I actually see?

Skin appears more even, less dull and more composed. Products applied afterward absorb more evenly, improving how they perform over time.
