SAIRA is tapping into this year’s biggest natural and organic ingredient trends with the launch of its NEW organic Firming Eye Serum.
Modern day living plays havoc with our eyes; using our digital devices for work and leisure can leave the skin around our eyes looking tired and dehydrated, which can lead to premature ageing. The new serum has drawn inspiration from ancient wisdom and organic science to create a best-in-class eye treatment that supports the delicate skin around the eyes.
Developed with carefully chosen skin plumping peptides and antioxidants to moisturise and protect, the plant-based serum helps to smooth, firm and brighten the skin around the eyes, reducing the look of puffiness, while softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result is beautifully radiant, rejuvenated skin.
Just one drop of this concentrated formula is enough to treat both eyes per application, and for a hydrating boost, use the serum as an extra layer of moisture before applying SAIRA Hydrating Facial Oil.
POWERFUL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
Certified COSMOS organic by the Soil Association, the vegan serum features three key organic skincare ingredients:
Bakuchiol - nature’s answer to retinol, this gentler, wonder antioxidant has been used in Ayurvedic and Eastern medicine for centuries to help stimulate cell turnover, smooth fine lines and improve skin tone and texture, reducing the look of hyperpigmentation.
Galactomyces ferment filtrate - brightening, hydrating and firming, this multi-beneficial yeast extract is a by-product of the sake fermentation process that gently nourishes and improves skin tone and texture.
Ashwagandha extract - rich in bio-active compounds to help calm, soothe and replenish lost moisture in the skin.
Together these powerful organic extracts act on signs of fatigue and ageing for a more youthful-looking complexion.
“Eyes are the essence of the soul so it’s only right that we treat the area around them with the greatest care. This new lightweight serum contains a blend of nature’s most effective skincare ingredients for truly brilliant results,”
In our modern world, skin is under siege:
Harsh cleansers strip away protective oils.
Foaming face washes over-exfoliate.
Toners and scrubs destroy the skin’s microbiome.
And “oil-free” marketing convinces us hydration and nourishment are dangerous.
This daily stress adds up. And what starts as a bit of oiliness or the odd breakout can become chronic sensitivity, congestion, and barrier breakdown, a term scientists call epidermal dysfunction.
Fact: Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, which overstimulates oil glands causing excess sebum and worsening acne and inflammation. (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020)
So if your skin feels tight but greasy, dehydrated but breaking out, or just never quite right it’s not just “problem skin.” It’s stressed skin.
Let’s stop the cycle.
Myth #1: “Facial oils clog pores and make acne worse.”
Why this myth persists:
Oily skin = more oil = more breakouts, right? So adding facial oil must be a disaster. That’s the logic.
The Real Science:
Many acne-prone skins are actually lacking linoleic acid, a key fatty acid that keeps sebum soft and flowing. When sebum becomes thick and sticky, it traps dead skin and bacteria creating the perfect storm for breakouts.
Fact: About 80-90% of teenagers experience acne due to hormonal surges that cause excessive sebum production – leading to clogged pores and breakouts. (American Academy of Dermatology)
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Balancing Face Wash gently cleanses oily, acne-prone skin without stripping it. It includes:
Salicylic acid to gently exfoliate inside pores and reduce blackheads.
Aloe vera to soothe and hydrate.
Plant-derived surfactants that clean without disrupting the skin barrier.
This balance is key because over-cleansing can cause the skin to overproduce oil, worsening acne.
Fact: Frequent use of alkaline cleansers can increase water loss, disturb skin pH, and lead to barrier dysfunction. (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020)
Myth #2: “Oily skin doesn’t need hydration.”
The Real Issue:
When oily skin gets dehydrated – through over-cleansing, stripping acids, or skipping moisturiser it fights back by producing even more oil. This leads to a confusing skin type that’s oily on the surface and dry underneath – a recipe for breakouts, irritation, and enlarged pores.
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Hyaluronic Boosting Drops hydrate oily, acne-prone skin with:
Tremella mushroom (snow fungus), nature’s hyaluronic acid.
Hydrolyzed pea protein and oat extract to calm irritation.
Hemp and flax extracts rich in omega-3s to reduce inflammation.
Layering hydration under facial oil locks in moisture, helping skin feel balanced, not greasy.
Myth #3: “Facial oils are too heavy for sensitive or large-pored skin.”
Why people believe it:
Facial oils get lumped into one category – greasy, thick, pore-blocking. But that’s like saying all fabrics feel the same.
The Science:
Some oils like coconut are comedogenic, but others such as jojoba, grapeseed, and rosehip are light, absorb fast, and mimic your skin’s own lipids.
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Hydrating Facial Oil is:
Rich in linoleic acid, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory oils like rosehip and black cumin.
Non-greasy and quickly absorbed.
Designed to improve elasticity and smooth the look of large pores over time.

Final Word: Don’t Fear the Oil – Embrace the Balance
If you’ve ever been told that oils are the enemy of oily or acne-prone skin, you’re not alone. The myths run deep – that oils clog pores, make breakouts worse, and should be avoided at all costs. But the truth is: when you choose the right oils in a balanced routine, they can become your skin’s biggest ally.
We’ve debunked the biggest misconceptions:
That oily skin doesn’t need hydration.
That facial oils suffocate pores.
That gentle, plant-based routines aren’t “active” enough.
Now, we’ve shown the science – and the solution.
The Real-life Results
Real Results: From Skin Struggles to Skin Confidence
This before-and-after photo says it all.
This male customer came to SAIRA after years of battling oily, acne-prone skin. He had tried countless high street products – harsh foaming cleansers, drying spot treatments, and “oil-free” moisturisers – but his skin only became more inflamed, imbalanced, and dry. His confidence was at an all-time low.
What changed everything? A simpler, skin-supportive approach grounded in nature and nourishment.
By switching to our gentle oil + cloth cleansing method, followed by our light yet deeply nourishing Hydrating Facial Oil, used morning and night, his skin began to heal. The breakouts lessened, the redness calmed, and the oiliness balanced out – without stripping or stressing the skin.
He now enjoys a smoother, brighter, more resilient complexion – and, most importantly, the confidence that comes with feeling good in your own skin.
