Step 4: Treatment
Targeted actives — serums, ampoules, and treatments for specific concerns.
Mantle's Hydra Serum is the Swedish brand's most essential product — a fragrance-free, stripped-back hydration serum that reads like a dermatologist's wish list. Sodium hyaluronate provides surface hydration. Glycosaminoglycans (the broader class of molecules that includes hyaluronic acid) add deeper moisture binding. Panthenol (provitamin B5) provides barrier repair and anti-inflammatory soothing. The xylitylglucoside/anhydroxylitol/xylitol complex (Aquaxyl) is a patented plant-derived system that reduces transepidermal water loss by reinforcing the skin's own moisture-retention mechanisms. Malachite extract is the unexpected ingredient — a copper-rich mineral extract that provides antioxidant defence. Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) extract creates a polysaccharide film that locks everything in. No fragrance, no essential oils, no actives that would compromise the hydration mission. Mantle understood that sometimes the best serum is the one that does nothing except hydrate.

Brazil's pharmacy skincare ecosystem rivals France's — but the brands are largely unknown outside Latin America. Adcos, Mantecorp Skincare, Episol, Ada Tina, Theraskin, and Pink Cheeks together form a dermatologist-channel ecosystem with depth in sunscreens, melasma protocols, and cosmeceutical actives that France's pharmacy giants don't match. Here's the brand-by-brand guide and why the next decade will see Brazilian pharmacy go global.
