Description
La Sincia Aqua Gel Platinum SCF Serum — 30 ml, Japanese Salon-Channel Gel Serum
Overview
La Sincia Aqua Gel Platinum SCF Serum is a Japanese salon-channel (美容専売) gel serum, made to sit between a toner and a cream in a routine that already has both. Its distinguishing feature is the combination of a conditioned-media complex with five ceramides — EOP, NG, NP, AG and AP — platinum nano-colloid, water-soluble proteoglycan and sodium hyaluronate.
The full ingredient list is printed below in order. Please read the import note in the cautions before ordering if you are in the EU or the UK, because one of the ingredients is restricted there. See also our Japanese serums and Japanese anti-ageing skincare.

Who Is This For?
- People who already run a serum-and-cream routine and want to add a concentrated hydration step rather than replace one
- Anyone drawn to a full five-ceramide set rather than the one or two most ceramide products carry
- Skin that feels tired, dry or lacking bounce, particularly in drier seasons
- Anyone who wants an unscented serum — there is no added fragrance in this one
- Not suitable for customers in the EU or the UK — see the import note in the cautions below
How to Use
- Morning and evening, after cleansing, prepare the skin with your toner or the matching La Sincia essence.
- Take about half a dropper — roughly a coin-sized amount — into your palm.
- Press it over the whole face rather than rubbing it in.
- On drier areas, layer a second, smaller amount and pat gently until absorbed.
- Follow with your usual moisturiser or the matching La Sincia cream, and in the morning finish with sunscreen.
Frequency: About half a dropper, morning and evening.

Cautions
An import note that matters for European customers. This serum's headline ingredient is a conditioned-media extract of human adipose cells. Entry 416 of Annex II to the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 prohibits cells, tissues or products of human origin in cosmetic products, and the UK Regulation carries the same entry. A product containing one is therefore not placeable on those markets, and a shipment may be stopped at the border. We would rather you knew that before ordering than discover it from a customs notice.
- This is a cosmetic. It is intended to improve the look and feel of the skin's surface; it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
- Patch test on a small area before first use, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
- Stop using it if redness, itching, stinging or any other discomfort appears, and see a dermatologist if it persists.
- Contains a soybean-derived ferment filtrate. Check the ingredient list if you have a soy allergy.
- Store away from high temperature, humidity and direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.

FAQ
Can you ship this to Germany or the UK?
This is the question to settle before you order. The serum contains an extract of conditioned media from human adipose cells, and entry 416 of Annex II to the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 — mirrored in the UK Regulation — prohibits cells, tissues or products of human origin in cosmetic products. A product containing one cannot lawfully be placed on those markets, and a parcel may be stopped at the border. If you are in the EU or the UK, please contact us before ordering rather than after.
What are the five ceramides, and why does the number matter?
EOP, NG, NP, AG and AP. Human skin's barrier lipids are a mixture of ceramide classes rather than a single molecule, which is why a formula carrying several is closer to the composition of the thing it is meant to support than one carrying a single ceramide. Most products on the shelf carry one or two; this carries five.
Is it fragranced?
No. There is no added fragrance in the formula, which you can check against the full ingredient list above.
Where does it go in a routine?
After cleansing and toner, before moisturiser. It is a serum step, not a replacement for a cream — the texture is a gel and it is not occlusive, so it needs something over it, and sunscreen in the morning.
What does "salon-channel" mean?
In Japan, 美容専売 products are distributed through salons, clinics and beauty professionals rather than through drugstores or department stores. It says something about the distribution route and the price, not about regulatory status: the product is a 化粧品 — an ordinary cosmetic — like anything on a drugstore shelf.
