Step 1: Cleansers
Gentle Cleanser
Start your skincare routine with a mild cleanser to remove impurities, excess oil, and makeup without stripping away its natural moisture. A gentle, non-irritating formula is perfect for daily use, and leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced.

Pre-Cleansing Oil
For a thorough double cleanse, incorporate a lightweight pre-cleansing oil into your routine to effortlessly melt away stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and dirt, preparing your skin for the next steps of your skincare regimen.
We recommend:
Acne Cleanser
Combat occasional breakouts and blemishes with a specialized cleanser formulated with salicylic acid and soothing botanical extracts. This cleanser will gently exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce excess oil production without causing dryness or irritation. Integrate it into your routine to keep acne at bay while maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

Step 2: Toners
Neutralizing Toner
After cleansing, balance and refine your skin with a neutralizing toner. An alcohol-free formula will help restore the skin's pH balance, minimize the appearance of pores, and prepare the skin for optimal absorption of serums and moisturizers. Infused with calming botanical extracts, it soothes and refreshes the skin, leaving it smooth, hydrated, and prepped for the next steps of your skincare routine.

Step 3: Serums
Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide
Revitalize your skin with a serum enriched with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal, it will help diminish the visible signs of aging, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and more brilliant.
We recommend:
Serum with Vitamins C + E & Ferulic Acid
Protect and brighten your skin with a potent combination of antioxidants and nourishing vitamins: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid. This serum blend defends the skin against environmental stressors, while promoting collagen synthesis and reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Add it into your routine to achieve a luminous complexion.
We recommend:
Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides
Use a hydration booster containing healing ingredients such as Ceramides mixed with Hyaluronic Acid, Soybean Extract, Green Tea Extract, and/or Aloe to replenish the skin's natural moisture. Whether used alone or mixed with your favorite moisturizer, it provides long-lasting hydration, leaving your skin soft, supple, and visibly plumped. Bonus: it is a highly effective post-procedure treatment to soothe, cool, and calm the skin after laser and peel procedures.
We recommend:
Step 4: Eye Creams
Eye Cream with Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and Peptides
An advanced eye cream with Vitamin E, Vitamin K targets common concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles, which tend to become more pronounced with age. A blend of peptides, vitamins, and botanical extracts will address these specific issues, all while being gentle enough for the delicate skin around the eyes. Choose a versatile, non-greasy formula for both morning and evening use, designed to absorb quickly and provide targeted nourishment without leaving any residue.
We recommend:
Eye Cream with HPR
HPR (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) stands out as a retinoid known for its gentle nature, making it safe for use around the delicate eye area. Use this in your daily routine and you will see a dramatic improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet, and fine lines. It visibly brightens dark circles for a refreshed and revitalized look. With its lightweight, hydrating, and non-greasy texture, HPR eye cream offers nourishment for under eye bags without any heaviness,

Step 5: Treatments
Retinol
Retinol is a cornerstone in any skincare routine, especially for those in their 40s. A derivative of Vitamin A, Retinol is celebrated for its ability to stimulate cell turnover, boost collagen production, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This potent treatment works diligently overnight to refine skin texture, fade hyperpigmentation, and promote a smoother, more youthful complexion.
We recommend:
Acne Treatment
Despite being in your 40s, hormonal fluctuations and environmental factors can still lead to occasional breakouts and blemishes. Routine anti-acne treatment is a must for targeting stubborn acne while simultaneously soothing and calming the inflammation. A serum made with potent ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide works around the clock to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts, ensuring clear and balanced skin.
We recommend:
Serum with AHAs and BHAs
As skin matures, it often loses its natural radiance and smooth texture. A powerhouse serum blended with alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs), hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants is just the cure. This serum effectively exfoliates dull skin cells, tightens pores, and enhances brightness. The result is a revitalized complexion.

Step 6: Moisturizers
Night Cream with Peptides
Nighttime is the perfect opportunity to replenish and repair the skin, making moisturizer an essential addition to your nightly routine. Enriched with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and nourishing botanicals, a night cream deeply hydrates, firms, and rejuvenates the skin while you sleep. Wake up to fuller, plumper, and more smoother-looking skin with continued use.
We recommend:
Night Cream with Shea Butter
Despite the common misconception that oily skin doesn't require moisturizing, it's important to understand that oily skin is primarily caused by an overproduction of sebum, not a surplus of hydration. Night creams enriched with shea butter offer lightweight, occlusive hydration, helping to replenish moisture levels without clogging pores or exacerbating oiliness. Shea butter helps lock in moisture, preventing dehydration and supporting the skin's natural moisture balance. It is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which nourish and soothe the skin. Use a night cream with shea butter to regulate excess oil production while keeping your skin hydrated and healthy-looking.
We recommend:
Night Cream with Aloe Vera
Sensitive or irritated skin requires gentle yet effective care, which is where aloe vera comes into play. Calming ingredients like aloe vera, colloidal oatmeal, and ceramides provide instant relief to stressed skin and reduce redness, inflammation, and discomfort. Feature it into your routine to nurture and restore your skin's natural balance.
We recommend:
Night Cream with Vitamin C
Vitamin C serves as a superhero antioxidant, effectively combating free radicals to prevent premature aging caused by environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. It has brightening properties that even out skin tone, fade dark spots, and promote a bright complexion. By stimulating collagen production, Vitamin C contributes to improved skin texture and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C enhances the skin's hydration levels, keeping it plump, smooth, and protected against dryness and irritation. With its anti-inflammatory properties, it also soothes and calms sensitive or irritated skin, promoting overall skin health and vitality.
