How to Use Porphose - Hydrate & Protect Your Skin | Algae-Based Skincare

Using Porphose for Skin: The 14-Day Challenge

Welcome to the Porphose 14-Day Challenge! This guide will help you incorporate Porphose into your skincare routine, highlighting its unique benefits for maintaining smooth, hydrated skin. Follow these instructions to experience the full potential of this algae-powered product over two weeks.

1. First Impressions

When you first apply Porphose, it may feel light, almost like water. Within a few seconds, you might notice a slightly “goopy” texture as it begins to dry. According to our founder, Matthew Huber, MS, this texture is due to the presence of sulfated polysaccharides, which are believed to help form a moisture-locking layer on the surface of your skin. Allow the product to dry completely to fully experience its benefits.

2. What to Expect with Porphose

Porphose is created from Pacific Ocean seawater, and you may notice a salty taste if it comes into contact with your lips. Once it dries on your skin, any residual salt can be washed off if desired. The sulfated polysaccharides will remain on the skin, even after rinsing, as they bond to the surface and are not removed by water or soap.

3. Enhancing Skin Hydration

If you're using Porphose to improve skin hydration, apply it to areas where your skin feels dry or uncomfortable. For best results, use it regularly throughout the day during the first week. Afterward, feel free to adjust the frequency of application based on how your skin feels. The product is designed to keep your skin feeling soft and moisturized.

4. Daily Application Tips

For everyday use, we recommend applying three sprays from the bottle. Matthew Huber, our founder, applies it to his scalp before shaving, enjoying a smooth finish. He even likens it to a moment from The Simpsons where Mr. Burns waxes his head! Whether you apply it to your hands, face, or other areas, Porphose is designed to be versatile and easy to use.

5. Monitor Your Skin

As with any new skincare product, it's important to monitor your skin’s response. If you notice any unusual irritation, discontinue use. For best results, apply Porphose to clean, intact skin and avoid any open cuts or abrasions.

By following this simple routine for two weeks, you can begin to see the hydrating and skin-supporting benefits of Porphose. We look forward to hearing how this algae-powered product makes your skin feel smoother and more hydrated!
