Slathered this on at 7pm and woke up looking like a glazed donut. Not the vibe.
The real issue—this serum has a split personality. AM it’s your shield. PM it’s your repair crew. Use it wrong and you’re just wasting $48 on fancy oil.
Deascal Superfoods Double Serum. $48 for 30ml. I bought it because they claimed it “adapts to your skin’s needs” which sounded like BS, but the ingredient list was too good to ignore.
Two-phase formula
Shake it or the oil sits on top like a lazy roommate.
Superfood complex
Not just marketing—actual fermented extracts that don’t smell like a salad.
Adaptogenic claim
Supposedly knows when you need hydration vs. protection. It doesn’t. *You* decide.

Three hero ingredients doing the heavy lifting. No fillers, no fragrance BS. Just stuff that works if you give it the right window.
- Vitamin C (THD form): Brightens without stinging like L-ascorbic acid
- Fermented Reishi: Calms redness overnight, not instantly
- Squalane: Locks moisture without clogging—rare
- Adaptogenic mushroom blend: Sounds woo-woo, actually lowers cortisol response in skin

Watery oil hybrid. Sinks in 12 seconds flat—no greasy film, no waiting around. Smells like… nothing. Which I prefer over fake “natural” scents.
Week two I got a tiny breakout on my chin. Almost tossed it. Then realized I was using it PM *and* AM like a maniac. Dialed back to AM only—skin calmed down, started looking actually glowy.
Three weeks in: my makeup sits better. No midday oil slick. Dark spots from last summer’s sun damage look slightly less angry. Still have pores. Still get the occasional zit. Not magic—just a solid routine upgrade.
Best AM serum I’ve used this year. Terrible PM serum for anyone who already uses actives. Pick your window or pick a different bottle.
