Qēt Botanicals Hydrating Day Serum is thoughtfully sourced and rich in antioxidant seed oils, embodying clean formulation principles — yet its reliance on essential oils undermines its long-term safety. While short-term use may yield softness and glow, cumulative exposure to volatile aromatic compounds can lead to irritation and lipid barrier damage. This product aligns more with aromatherapy than Functional Beauty, where skin longevity and barrier preservation are the highest priorities.
