What to Put on Skin After Microneedling

What to Put on Skin After Microneedling

by Alra Customer Care in Olive

Why Post-Microneedling Care Is Critical Microneedling creates tiny microchannels in your skin that trigger collagen production—but also make it more vulnerable to irritation. Using the wrong products can lead to redness, stinging, or even breakouts.

Skip These Immediately After Microneedling Avoid applying harsh actives or fragrances for at least 48 hours:

  • Retinol

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)

  • Alcohol-based toners

  • Essential oils

  • Chemical sunscreens

What Your Skin Actually Needs Post-Procedure

  • Hydration: Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera

  • Barrier Repair: Ingredients like ceramides and panthenol

  • Anti-Inflammatory Support: Olive-based antioxidants, calendula, or chamomile

Why Alra Olive Therapy Serum Is a Post-Microneedling Essential Formulated without fragrance, alcohol, or acids, Alra Olive Therapy Serum uses Hydroxytyrosol and Oleuropein to:

  • Calm inflammation

  • Speed up skin barrier recovery

  • Neutralize free radicals generated by the microneedling process

How to Build a Simple Post-Microneedling Routine

  • Day 1–2: Gently cleanse, apply Alra Olive Therapy Serum, follow with a barrier cream

  • Day 3–5: Introduce hyaluronic acid, continue Olive Therapy Serum

  • Day 6+: Resume gentle actives like niacinamide or PHA if skin feels calm

 Bonus Tips for Faster Recovery

  • Don’t touch your face unnecessarily

  • Avoid makeup for 48–72 hours

  • Use mineral SPF daily (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide)

Conclusion: Microneedling is a powerful treatment—but post-care determines results. Support your skin with calm, clean ingredients like those found in Alra Olive Therapy Serum, and let your glow begin from day one.

How to Layer Skincare Products in the Right Order

Why Layering Order MattersSkincare isn't just about what you apply—it's about when and in what order. The right layering sequence ensures optimal absorption, ingredient synergy, and results. Using the wrong order can cause irritation or reduce effectiveness. The General Rule: Lightest to HeaviestAlways apply products from thinnest to thickest: Cleanser Toner Water-based serums (like Alra Olive Therapy Serum) Active treatments (like acids or brightening serums) Moisturizers Sunscreen (AM only) H2: Why Start With Olive Therapy SerumAlra’s Olive Therapy Serum is designed to calm and condition the skin barrier. Formulated with antioxidant-rich Hydroxytyrosol and Oleuropein, it’s ideal to use first because: It soothes inflammation Enhances tolerance to actives layered on top (like AHA/BHA) Strengthens the skin’s natural defenses Think of it as your pre-serum armor—especially if you're using actives like Renewal Serum with exfoliating acids. H2: The Glow On Set Layering GuideGlow On Set includes 3 dermatologist-loved serums: Olive Therapy Serum (AM/PM) – Barrier support + anti-inflammatory base Tone Correcting Therapy Serum (AM) – Niacinamide + Alpha-Arbutin for melanin regulation Renewal Serum (PM) – AHA + PHA + BHA for exfoliation and texture renewal Layering Routine: Morning: Cleanser Olive Therapy Serum (see product) Tone Correcting Therapy Serum (learn more) Moisturizer SPF Evening: Cleanser Olive Therapy Serum Renewal Serum (view full ingredient list) Night Cream (optional) H2: Can You Layer Acids and Antioxidants?Yes—with caution. That’s why we built Glow On Set to work together harmoniously: Olive Serum calms and primes Renewal Serum gently exfoliates Tone Correcting targets discoloration without conflict H2: Tips for Sensitive Skin Layering Patch test new actives with Olive Serum underneath Use exfoliating serums only at night (2–3x/week if reactive) Never skip Olive Serum—it reduces potential irritation from strong actives Conclusion: The best results come from consistency and correct layering. With Glow On Set, you don’t just get powerful serums—you get a routine built for synergy. Start every layer with Olive Therapy Serum and experience the glow without the guesswork.

Why Antioxidants Matter: The Skin-Healing Power of Our Olive Therapy Serum

Why Antioxidants Matter: The Skin-Healing Power of Our Olive Therapy Serum

In the world of skincare, few ingredients are as underappreciated yet powerful as the antioxidants found in olives. At Alra Skincare, our Olive Therapy Serum is built around one simple philosophy: protect the skin from within, using nature’s most gentle yet potent defenders. The Science Behind Antioxidants and Skin Health Every day, your skin is exposed to environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and oxidative stress—these factors cause the release of harmful free radicals. When unchecked, free radicals damage skin cells, break down collagen, and accelerate visible aging. This is where antioxidants come in. Antioxidants neutralize these unstable molecules before they can cause long-term harm. Research shows that antioxidant-rich skincare helps reduce inflammation, prevent pigmentation, and rebuild the skin barrier—especially important for sensitive and post-procedure skin. What Makes Olive Antioxidants Unique? Our serum harnesses two powerful olive-derived antioxidants: Hydroxytyrosol and Oleuropein. Hydroxytyrosol, often called nature’s most potent antioxidant, is renowned for its ability to neutralize free radicals at exceptionally low concentrations. It also enhances skin resilience and promotes recovery from irritation. Oleuropein provides additional anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and reparative effects, making it ideal for calming stressed or damaged skin. These compounds are naturally present in extra virgin olive oil—but in our formula, they’re isolated and concentrated to deliver targeted healing benefits, especially after skin trauma such as acne breakouts, microneedling, laser treatments, or environmental aggressors. Sensitive Skin Needs More Than Moisture Many serums focus on hydration alone. But sensitive skin needs a calm, reinforced environment to heal. That’s why Alra’s Olive Therapy Serum goes beyond surface moisture. It actively soothes redness, reduces oxidative stress, and fortifies the skin’s natural barrier—without the use of fragrance, alcohol, or known irritants. Ideal for Post-Procedure and Reactive Skin Whether you’re healing after a cosmetic procedure or looking for daily defense against pollutants, this serum offers science-backed support: Post-laser and microneedling: Helps reduce inflammation and accelerate cell repair. After acne flare-ups: Calms redness and supports skin regeneration. For reactive or allergy-prone skin: Provides antioxidant protection without causing flare-ups. Final Thoughts: Your Skin Deserves a Gentle Warrior Not all serums are created equal. Alra’s Olive Therapy Serum combines the ancient healing wisdom of olives with modern clinical insight into antioxidant therapy. It’s safe, clean, and purpose-built for people whose skin needs extra care—and extra strength. Whether you struggle with sensitivity, aging, or recovery from harsh treatments, let your skin experience the regenerative power of olive antioxidants. Try Alra Olive Therapy Serum today—and give your skin the calm strength it deserves.

Use morning and night—or anytime your skin needs calming care.
