We shift the focus from treatment to prevention
Topical care alone is not a long-term fix. It soothes, supports, and protects — but it doesn’t address the deeper root causes of skin health. That’s why at Nourished3, we take a holistic approach that nourishes the skin from the inside out.
Our skincare products are powerful on their own, but when combined with our supplements, the results become truly transformative. Skincare strengthens and protects the barrier, the gut supplement supports microbiome diversity and reduces inflammation, and the brain supplement calms stress and restores balance. Each formula works individually — but together, they create a synergistic effect that unlocks results beyond what any single product can achieve.
This is the foundation of our Trifecta Method™ — a complete system designed to target the skin–gut–brain connection from every angle. It comes to life through our Triple Biotic™ Symbiotic Collection, combining:
Step 1 (Skin): Postbiotic skincare, Step 2 (Gut): Probiotic gut supplement, Step 3 (Brain): Prebiotic brain supplement
Together, this system supports long-term skin health, emotional balance, and gut harmony — delivering visible results that go far beyond the surface. This is why we recommend the full Trifecta Method™: topical care, gut balance, and mental support working in harmony to help your skin thrive, stay radiant, and age beautifully from the inside out.

Frequently asked questions
1. How do I use the Brightening Radiance Super Serum?
Apply 2–3 drops (1 pump) to clean, dry skin in the morning. Gently press it into your face and neck before applying moisturizer and SPF.
2. Can I use it every day?
Yes, the serum is gentle enough for daily use. For best results, use it consistently as part of your morning skincare routine.
3. What makes this serum different from others?
Our formula combines stabilized Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and postbiotic pomegranate enzymes — a clinically supported blend that not only brightens but also hydrates, supports barrier strength, and promotes long-term skin clarity.
4. Will it really help with dark spots and uneven skin tone?
Yes. Clinical studies on the active ingredients show improved radiance, reduced hyperpigmentation, and a more even complexion over time with consistent use.
5. Can I layer it with other products?
Absolutely. The serum is designed to be layered with other Nourished3 products. Just remember: cleanser → serum → moisturizer → SPF (in the morning).
6. How long does one bottle last?
Each 30ml bottle contains around 100 pumps. With daily morning use (1 pump per day), one bottle typically lasts about 3 months.
7. Are your products considered pregnancy-safe?
Yes! It is suggested that pregnant women should avoid using products with salicylic acid concentrations higher than 2%. Our mask and cleanser contain only 1% BHA, which is considered safe. However, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before using any skincare products containing salicylic acid during pregnancy to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
8. Do your products contain fragrance?
None of our skincare products contain fragrance, except for the Clarify & Brighten Face Mask. The mask contains less than 0.10% fragrance — just a subtle hint to balance the natural scent of sulfur. It has a very soft lavender-coconut scent.
9. Are your products recommended for sensitive skin?
Yes, all our products are patch-tested on sensitive, acne-prone skin. They are non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested to ensure safety and compatibility with delicate skin.
10. Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Like all Nourished3 products, our Brightening Radiance Super Serum is vegan, cruelty-free, and made without silicones, parabens, or synthetic fragrance.
