application

Step 3 of your skincare routine

In the evening before night care, apply one pump of the serum to cleansed skin and gently massage it in. It works overnight – and is formulated so gently that it also works well in combination with our Night Cream and ensures a radiant complexion. The next day, however, you should definitely apply sunscreen – so our Day Cream is the perfect companion. It is very important to gradually get used to the serum. Please increase the frequency of use step by step – from once a week up to 2-3 times a week.

The perfect peel for sensitive skin

I love chemical peels! Unlike mechanical scrubs, where you sometimes really have to rub, these don’t damage your skin but gently remove dead skin cells. My tip? Start slowly – once a week at first, then increase to two to three times a week.

Product details

Content: 30 ml in a high-quality glass bottle with airless pouch

THIS IS WHAT TO EXPECT WITH REGULAR USE OF THE EXFOLIATING SERUM:
Gentle exfoliation and hydration: 
The natural AHA complex (2%) combines citric acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid, which act as a gentle peel, improve uneven pigmentation, provide moisture, and give the skin a fresher, smoother appearance.

Gentle peeling for sensitive skin: Gluconolactone (7%), a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), offers a gentle peel that promotes cell renewal without irritating the skin. It strengthens the skin barrier, hydrates, and helps even out the complexion while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Protection and regeneration of skin cells: Stem cell extract from mung bean sprouts increases the viability of skin cells after UV exposure, has anti-inflammatory effects, and promotes collagen production, improving skin texture and counteracting premature skin aging.

Antioxidant protection and pore refinement: Pomegranate extract is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that smooth, firm, and protect the skin from free radicals. It also refines pores and supports skin cell regeneration, leading to a reduction in spots, pimples, and blackheads.

Balancing and improving skin appearance: Barley extract, which contains niacinamide and phytic acid, reduces skin pigmentation, evens out skin tone, improves skin radiance, and contributes to a glowing, even complexion.

Development

All our JACKS skincare products are created through close collaboration between Miriam Jacks and an experienced German cosmetics manufacturer in Berlin. Over two years of development work went into every formulation – from the initial idea to the final test. Our focus is on plant stem cells, carefully selected active ingredients like retinal and Centella Asiatica, as well as a holistic well-aging approach that lovingly supports skin at every age.

Every detail – from texture, scent, and compatibility to the packaging concept – is checked multiple times and personally approved by Miriam Jacks and her team. A product only goes into production if its effectiveness convinces, the skin feel delights, and the quality is flawless. This way, you get care that doesn’t fight against time but strengthens and brightens your skin daily – with responsibility, transparency, and a high standard for effectiveness and sustainability.

FAQ

Für welchen Hauttyp ist die Skincare Linie geeignet?

Sie ist für alle Hauttypen geeignet – auch für sensible Haut. Die Formel wurde dermatologisch getestet für sensitive Haut und ist besonders gut verträglich.

Sind die Produkte vegan und tierversuchsfrei?

Ja, wie alle unsere Produkte sind unsere Skincare Produkte vegan und tierversuchsfrei.

Enthält die Skincare Linie Parfum?

Bei der Entwicklung unserer Produkte steht die Verträglichkeit mit an erster Stelle – ohne dabei auf ein angenehmes Pflege Erlebnis zu verzichten. Da einige natürliche Inhaltsstoffe einen stärkeren Eigengeruch haben, haben wir uns bewusst entschieden, den Milky Toner, das Balancing Serum, das Exfoliating Serum und die Night Cream mit einem dezenten Duft zu versehen. Allerdings ist dieser eingesetzte Duftstoff nur in sehr geringer Konzentration enthalten und weist außerdem nur ein einziges potenzielles Allergen auf. Im Vergleich zu vielen herkömmlichen Pflegeprodukten, die in der Regel über 20 Allergene aufweisen, bedeutet dies eine deutlich geringere bis gar keine Wahrscheinlichkeit für Hautreaktionen. Das macht das Produkt dadurch sehr gut verträglich, auch für sensitive Haut.

What is a chemical peeling?

Chemical peels are skincare products that gently dissolve and remove dead skin cells using fruit acids or other mild acids such as AHA and PHA. Unlike mechanical peels, which physically abrade the skin surface with granular particles or brushes, chemical peels work through biochemical exfoliation. This process breaks down the bonds between dead cells, allowing them to detach more easily from the skin surface and be removed.

This method is particularly gentle and effective because it does not irritate or microscopically damage the skin, promotes cell regeneration, smooths and refines the skin texture, cleanses pores, and reduces impurities without overly stressing the skin barrier. Therefore, chemical peels are ideal for sensitive, dry, or mature skin.

How do the Exfoliating and Balancing Serums differ?

The Balancing Serum was developed to soothe sensitive, stressed skin, provide moisture, and smooth fine lines. It visibly reduces redness and irritation, strengthens the skin barrier with fermented barley extract, and makes the skin appear smoother and more radiant. It can be used daily in the morning and evening. The Exfoliating Serum, on the other hand, acts as a gentle peel with AHA and PHA complexes. It refines pores, reduces pigmentation spots, and ensures an even, radiant complexion. Due to its exfoliating effect, it should be used a maximum of 2–3 times per week in the evening.

In short: The Balancing Serum protects and soothes the skin in everyday life, while the Exfoliating Serum gently renews the skin and refines the complexion.

How do I use the Exfoliating Serum and the Self Tan Drops in one routine?

Exfoliating serum and self-tan drops should always be used on different days or at different times of the day, as their effects can otherwise conflict. The serum stimulates skin renewal and removes dead skin cells, while the self-tan drops tan the top layer of the skin. This can cause the tan to become uneven or not develop at all. Using them separately protects the skin and ensures an even result.

It is best to use the exfoliating serum 1-2 times a week in the evening, and the self-tan drops on the days when no serum is used. Alternatively, the self-tan drops can be applied in the morning, ideally the day after using the exfoliating serum. This way, an even, streak-free tan is easily achieved while keeping the skin smooth and well cared for.

What skin type is the skincare line suitable for?

It is suitable for all skin types – including sensitive skin. The formula has been dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and is especially well tolerated.

Are the products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, like all our products, our skincare products are vegan and cruelty-free.

How long are the products good for after opening?

When stored properly (dark & cool), the products are good for 6 months after opening, as indicated on the packaging.

Does the skincare line contain perfume?

When developing our products, compatibility is our top priority – without compromising a pleasant care experience. Since some natural ingredients have a stronger inherent scent, we have deliberately chosen to add a subtle fragrance to the Milky Toner, the Balancing Serum, the Exfoliating Serum, and the Night Cream. However, this fragrance is used only in very low concentration and contains only a single potential allergen. Compared to many conventional skincare products, which typically contain over 20 allergens, this means a significantly lower to no likelihood of skin reactions. This makes the product very well tolerated, even for sensitive skin.

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin is a skin type that naturally contains less oil. It feels permanently rough or flaky. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a skin condition where the water content of the skin is too low. It often feels tight, especially after cleansing, looks dull, and may show fine lines. You can tell whether your skin is dry or dehydrated by whether it is permanently dry or only temporarily dried out due to external factors such as cold, heat, stress, lack of sleep, or unsuitable care. Dry and dehydrated skin can occur independently but can also exist simultaneously.

Which skin types participated in the consumer study?

Our consumer study included people with a wide range of skin types – from dry to normal to oily skin. Participants with sensitive skin as well as those with skin conditions such as neurodermatitis or rosacea also took part. This allowed us to ensure that our products are suitable for a broad variety of skin types and skin needs.

Can I also use the products if I have rosacea or neurodermatitis?

All our skincare products are developed for sensitive skin and dermatologically tested. In a 12-week consumer study, more than 150 people tested the products individually or in combination – including participants with rosacea or atopic dermatitis, who tolerated the products very well.

However, in case of existing skin conditions, you should always consult a doctor beforehand. On our website, you can find an overview of all ingredients to check whether there are any specific ingredients that should preferably be avoided.

How long do the products last in use?
  • Milky Toner lasts on average 10-12 weeks 
  • Balancing Serum lasts on average 8-10 weeks
  • Exfoliating Serum lasts on average 10-12 weeks 
  • Eye Cream lasts on average 12 weeks 
  • Day Cream lasts on average 6-8 weeks 
  • Night Cream lasts on average 10 weeks
What are the pH ranges of the skincare products?
  • Day Cream: 7.0-7.3
  • Milky Toner: 5.0-5.3
  • Exfoliating Serum: 3.9-4.1
  • Night Cream: 4.7-5.0
  • Eye Cream: 4.7-5.0
  • Balancing Serum: 4.7-5.0

Except for our Day Cream, none of the products in our skincare line are actually pH-neutral in the chemical sense, meaning a value of about 7. Because that is exactly what "pH-neutral" means. 

In cosmetics, however, the term "pH-neutral" is often used differently: manufacturers often mean "skin-friendly" or "skin-neutral," that is, a pH value that is as close as possible to the skin's natural acid mantle. 

Our products are therefore deliberately formulated in the slightly acidic range because this is closest to the skin's natural pH value (between 4.7 and 5.5). This slightly acidic environment supports the skin's protective barrier, maintains the natural microbiome balance, and ensures that the skin remains resilient.

What is the Airless Pouch?

For the Night Cream, the Balancing Serum, and the Exfoliating Serum, we chose an airless system for the packaging. It is a glass bottle with a flexible plastic pouch inside that gradually shrinks as the product is dispensed. This allows the product to be used up to the last drop, as no residue remains in the bottle. At the same time, the product stays hygienic because the pouch is airtight, preventing bacteria or oxidation from entering. Another advantage is sustainability: after use, the plastic pouch can be easily removed from the bottle, allowing glass and plastic to be disposed of separately. This enables the recycling of the materials.

Can I exchange skincare products?

Of course, you can exchange unopened products within two weeks. Please note that the products must be completely sealed, as otherwise we cannot resell them and will have to dispose of them. If you are unsure, we recommend ordering our testers in advance.
