A gift card works for facials in the studio and for products on this site, which makes it the sensible option when you know someone is deep into skincare but not which serum they are already loyal to. Available in any denomination, and there is no guessing at a texture or a shade.

In practice, most people spend a card on a facial and then take home whatever Maria Cristina recommends during it, which is a far better outcome than choosing a serum for someone else. If you are buying for someone new to clinical skincare, a card plus a booked facial is the version of this gift that actually gets used.
