The Product
Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum
The Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum is the first of its kind. A minimalist formula that replaces balm, eye cream, moisturizer, and night mask to soothe, hydrate, and brighten the skin.
A high concentration of Gressa Skin's beloved cold-pressed Broccoli seed oil with Siberian Pineapple (Seed and Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil) as the star in this formula.
The formula is enriched with grass-fed organic ghee. It retains moisture, relieves dry/dehydrated skin, soothes inflamed/irritated skin, prevents transepidermal water loss, evens out blemishes, gives your face an instant glow, and maintains a healthy microbiome.
How to use
Balm: After cleansing and toning your face with an essence, melt a pea-sized amount of serum between your palms. Gently but firmly pat it all over your damp face. We recommend massaging your face every night to promote lymphatic drainage, better product absorption, oxytocin release, and improved sleep.
Eye contour cream: Tap a small amount between your ring fingers with a drop of mist or essence. Gently massage around the eye area.
Moisturizing cream: Spray the essence into the palm of your hand, then take a pea-sized amount of the pressed serum and mix vigorously in your palm. The chemical reaction between the two textures will transform into a thick, yellow cream. Apply to the entire face, paying particular attention to the area between the eyebrows, the neck, and the delicate eye contour.
Nighttime hydrating mask: Repeat the steps of the hydrating cream but double the amount of pressed serum.
"The world's first waterless pressed serum, it combines Gressa's cult broccoli oil with Siberian sea buckthorn and sacred ghee. Skin is transformed from the very first applications."

FAQ
Your most frequently asked questions about this product
What is a "pressed" serum and how does it differ from a classic serum?
A pressed serum is a highly concentrated, completely anhydrous (waterless) formula that visually resembles a balm but performs like an ultra-rich serum. Unlike traditional aqueous serums, which contain 70-90% water and require preservatives, the Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum is composed of 100% cold-pressed plant oils and pure botanical butters. This absence of water means zero preservatives, zero dilution, and maximum concentration of active ingredients. The solid texture melts instantly upon contact with your skin's warmth, transforming into a silky, ultra-absorbent oil. It is the quintessence of minimalism: a single product that replaces a balm, eye cream, face cream, sleeping mask, lip balm, and even makeup remover. First of its kind, it embodies Gressa's "less is more" philosophy.
How do I correctly use the Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum?
The Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum is incredibly versatile. As a waterless face balm: after cleansing and applying a mist or essence, take a pea-sized amount, melt it between your palms, and press it onto your still-damp face with firm but gentle motions. As a face cream: spray a mist or essence into your palm, add the pressed serum, and mix vigorously. The chemistry between the two textures will create a magnificent, thick yellow cream. As an eye cream: mix a tiny trace amount with a drop of essence between your ring fingers and tap gently. As a sleeping mask: double the usual amount and emulsify with your mist. You will wake up transformed. As a lip balm: apply directly to soften and protect.
Why does the serum contain ghee (clarified butter) and is it vegan?
No, the Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum is not vegan due to the organic, grass-fed ghee. Gressa made the deliberate choice to incorporate this ancestral Ayurvedic ingredient for its exceptional properties. Ghee is purified butter from which water, lactose, and milk proteins have been removed, retaining only pure lipids. It is a "smart fat" used for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine to nourish, repair, and soothe the most sensitive, dry, and compromised skins. Ghee penetrates deep into the skin layers, carrying other active ingredients with it. It also supports the skin microbiome. If you are strictly vegan, Gressa's Purifying Oil or Night Repair Elixir are excellent 100% vegan alternatives. However, if you are open to ethically sourced animal products, ghee makes all the difference in this formula.
Is the serum suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Surprisingly, yes! Although the Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum is very rich, broccoli seed oil has a remarkably light and dry texture that does not clog pores. It is non-comedogenic (rating 1-2 out of 5). Sea buckthorn possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for acne. Kokum butter is non-comedogenic and sebum-regulating. The key for oily skin is to use a very small amount (half a pea size) and always emulsify it with a mist or watery essence before application. This spontaneous emulsion significantly lightens the texture, allowing for rapid absorption without a greasy film. Apply to slightly damp skin, never completely dry skin. Use preferably at night. If your skin is very reactive, start with 2-3 times a week and observe how it responds.
What are the color and scent of the serum, and are they normal?
The Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum has a characteristic deep golden-orange color, due to the natural carotenoids in sea buckthorn. This shade varies slightly from batch to batch depending on the harvest: this is perfectly normal and a testament to the product's purity (no dyes). The scent is herbaceous, earthy, and slightly tart with notes of sea buckthorn berries, Roman chamomile, and arnica. Some find it surprising at first but grow to adore it for its botanical authenticity. Others compare it to a walk in a Siberian forest after the rain. If you are sensitive to fragrances, note that the scent fades quickly after application. These natural variations in color, texture, and scent reflect the power of living botanicals not chemically standardized. Gressa refuses to use synthetic fragrances to mask natural aromas.
How long does a jar last and how should I store it?
A 15ml jar lasts approximately 3-4 months with daily use, or 6 months if used 3-4 times a week, as you only need a tiny amount each time (pea-sized). The 50ml size will easily last 10-12 months. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Gressa's violet Miron glass naturally protects the product from light degradation. Always apply with clean hands to preserve the product's purity (or use a clean spatula). Close the lid tightly after each use. Gressa recommends using the product within 6 months of opening for optimal freshness, although the waterless formula naturally preserves well for longer. Natural variations in color or texture do not mean the product has spoiled.
Can the pressed serum be used as a makeup remover?
Yes, absolutely! The Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum works wonderfully as a luxurious cleansing balm. On dry skin (this is important), massage a generous amount of the serum over the entire face and closed eyes in circular motions. The oils will completely dissolve makeup, even waterproof, as well as SPF and impurities accumulated throughout the day. Massage for 1-2 minutes to fully reap the benefits. Then, remove with a warm, damp washcloth by gently patting, or rinse with lukewarm water if you prefer. You can follow with a double cleanse using Gressa's Balancing Cleanser to remove any residue. This oil cleansing method is the gentlest and most nourishing for the skin, unlike aqueous cleansers which can be dehydrating.
Why is the serum called "Siberian Pineapple" when it contains no pineapple?
"Siberian Pineapple" is the poetic nickname for Sea Buckthorn, the star berry of this formula. Sea buckthorn grows in the cold, mountainous regions of Siberia, Mongolia, and the Himalayas. Its bright orange berries are packed with vitamins (notably C, E, K, and several B vitamins), carotenoids (which give it its vibrant color), and a full spectrum of rare fatty acids: Omegas 3, 6, 7 (very rare in nature), and 9. Omega-7 is particularly exceptional for repairing mucous membranes and damaged tissues. Sea buckthorn has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese, Tibetan, and Russian medicine to heal burns, ulcers, and promote skin health. Russian cosmonauts even used it to protect themselves from cosmic radiation. It is literally one of nature's most powerful ingredients for skin regeneration.
