Certain products truly benefit from being used cold:
- Against puffiness and fatigue – Cold can help reduce bags under the eyes and puffiness. In this case, an eye care product can be particularly beneficial.
Tip: try the Maruderm Caffeine Eye Care Serum, which refreshes your gaze even more effectively when used cold.
- Refreshing feeling on the skin – A cold tonic or spray is a real refreshment in the summer heat.
Tip: Facial spray with Aloe Vera taken out of the fridge instantly cools and soothes your skin.
- Protection of heat-sensitive active ingredients – For serums containing vitamin C and retinol, keeping them in the fridge is particularly advantageous as it slows down oxidation.
Tip: if you keep your Maruderm Vitamin C Facial Serum in a cool place, it will maintain its freshness and effectiveness for a longer time.
What products are worth keeping in the fridge?
- Eye creams and roll-ons (especially those with metal applicators)
- Gel-textured masks
- Skin-cooling sprays, toners
- After-sun sprays, aloe vera gels
- Serums with over 10% vitamin C
These enhance the refreshing effect even more when cold, and can be real lifesavers in the summer.
What should NOT be put in the fridge?
Not every product is a friend of the cold! For example:
- Oily serums and facial oils (they may solidify)
- Creamy sunscreens
- Foaming cleansers
- Clay masks
- Moisturizers (their texture may change)
These are better off in the bathroom cabinet. Just make sure they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Extra tips for summer and travel
If you're going on vacation, don't forget about your skincare products:
-
Use a mini cooler bag or a cooling makeup pouch.
-
Transport them in your handbag rather than in a hot suitcase.
-
Choose an applicator eye cream that refreshes even while traveling.
Should skincare products be frozen?
In short: no!
Freezing damages emulsions and harms the active ingredients. Stick to the refrigerator or specialized mini skincare coolers instead.
So:
Not all skincare products like the cold, but the right items stored in the fridge can truly provide an extra experience and effect. Always pay attention to the storage recommendations on the packaging, and use your products in a way that maximizes their benefits.
