How much skincare should you actually use?

Our aestheticians recommend keeping it simple and consistent with the suggested amounts for each step:

Cleanser - almond-sized amount
Toner - coin-sized amount
Serum - 1-1.5 pumps/3 drops
Moisturizer - dime-sized amount
Eye Cream/Gel - 1/2 rice grain or 1/2 pump
Sunscreen - two finger lengths

Using the right amount helps your products apply more evenly and work as intended.

Retinoids are best used at night to support skin renewal and improve the appearance of fine lines.

Consistency is key, and don't forget to apply sunscreen during the day when using retinoids.

Stay tuned as we dive into the retinoid family in an upcoming video.

If you're looking to support dry skin, these are five ingredients worth knowing:

Hyaluronic Acid – Helps attract and retain hydration within the skin.

Ceramides – Support the skin barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Glycerin – Draws moisture into the skin to support hydration.

Squalane – Moisturizes the skin while improving softness.

Polyglutamic Acid – Used primarily as a humectant to help the skin retain moisture.

Did you know micellar technology works like a magnet for impurities?

Micelles are tiny cleansing structures that attract and lift away daily buildup, long-lasting waterproof makeup, and silicone sunscreens from the skin.

This allows for effective cleansing while helping maintain the skin's comfort during the cleansing process.

Hyaluronic acid is known for hydration, but in many cleansers or rinse-off products, its benefits are washed away during cleansing.

That's where Cationic Hyaluronic Acid (CHA) is different.

CHA carries a positive charge that helps it bind more effectively to the skin's surface, helping retain hydration even after rinsing.

It's one of the key ingredients behind our Triple Action Lotion Face Wash, designed to cleanse, hydrate, and comfort.
