What is a skincare regimen and why is it important?

Taking care of your skin and establishing a routine is so important for your skin health. Cleansing, hydrating, toning, and more helps encourage glowing skin. Taking our Skincare Quiz, or some of our other online tools can help you find the perfect regimen for your skin type or skin concerns such as oily skin, texture, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne, fine lines, wrinkles and more.

What are the steps of a skincare regimen?

First, you need to identify your skin type and skin concerns to find your perfect formulas. We recommend the following order of application: Facial Cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, or makeup. Face Toner or essence to prep your skin’s surface to absorb the rest of your routine. Serums or targeted treatments to address your specific skin concerns. Moisturizer to lock in all of the hydration from previous steps. Eye cream to nourish the delicate eye area.

Why do I need a serum? How can a serum work together with a moisturizer?

Serums are an important step in your skincare routine because they can help target specific skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, dry skin, and more. Advanced Night Repair Serum delivers hydration while targeting signs of aging. A moisturizer helps you “seal in” your serum and delivers targeted youth-infusing benefits plus intense hydration that lasts. These high-performance formulas work together to deliver maximum benefits and results you can see. It’s a winning combination—your skin’s dream team.

What are common skincare ingredients & what do they do?

Some of our favourite skin-loving ingredients include Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and our exclusive Moringa Extract. You can learn more about our ingredients and their benefits by visiting our Ingredient Glossary .

Should I use the same skincare regimen during the day and in the evening?

There are a few additional products we recommend including in your AM and PM routine. For your daytime skincare routine, SPF is essential for protecting your skin from sun exposure, even if you don’t go outside! For your nighttime routine, try adding in a face mask a few times a week for an at-home facial to encourage radiant skin.
