Your daily sequence
How to build a simple skincare routine.
A routine is an order, not a shelf. Four products, two moments in the day, and the directions printed on each carton — nothing here depends on owning all of them.
Morning and evening
The sequence is the same twice a day: cleanse, treat, then seal. In the morning it finishes with your own sunscreen, and that is not optional advice with these formulas — every one of them contains glycolic acid, and three contain retinol. At night the last layer is the cream.
Hands and feet sit outside that order. They are washed far more often than a face is, so they are cared for whenever they need it rather than at a fixed point in the day.
The steps, in order
Hydrating Cleanser 100 ml
Daily cleansing, morning and night, as the first step of the routine.
- Dispense a pea-sized amount into wet palms.
- Rub hands to create a lather and massage gently onto wet skin for one minute.
- Rinse with lukewarm water. Use daily, morning and night.
Radiant Renewal Serum 30 ml
The treatment step, on skin that can tolerate a daily retinol.
- Three to four drops on cleansed skin, morning or night.
- Follow with your face cream.
- Use SPF every morning.
Radiance Cream 50 g
Face and neck, morning and night, under your own sunscreen.
- Apply a thin layer to cleansed face and neck.
- Morning and night, after cleansing.
- Follow with your own sunscreen.
Renewing Hand & Foot Cream 50 g
Hands washed a dozen times a day, and feet that get an hour of attention a year.
- Massage into clean hands and feet.
- Morning and night, and after washing.
- Follow with your own sunscreen.
Adjusting it to your skin
- Dry
- Layer it while skin is still damp, and do not skip the cream.
- Oily
- Cleanse morning and night; keep the cream to a thin layer.
- Combination
- Full face at night, and a thinner layer through the T-zone in the morning.
- Sensitive
- Every formula here contains glycolic acid. Patch test first, start every other day, and read the cautions on the product page.
Before you start
Patch test the first time, and start every other day rather than twice daily. Every product page lists that formula’s own cautions in full, including the ones about pregnancy — three of the four say not for use during pregnancy on the carton. Read them before the first full application rather than after.
We can tell you exactly what is in a bottle. We cannot tell you how your skin will respond to it — for a reaction, a persistent condition or anything that hurts, see a doctor rather than a brand.
