☀️ AM products:
Cleanser
Serum
Moisturizer
SPF by pavise (the best lazy girl tip: lasts eight hours no need to reapply)

🌙 PM products:
Cleanser (pavise cleanser because it’s goat at removing sunscreen and makeup all in one)
Tretinoin
Moisturizer
Barrier Cream (to lock in the moisture 🔒)

Pro tip: If you’re new to tretinoin, try the sandwich method to help your skin adjust. Apply moisturizer first, then a pea-sized amount of tretinoin over your entire face, follow with another layer of moisturizer, and finish with your barrier cream.

Healthy skin is about doing what your skin can actually tolerate. Consistency beats intensity, every time! 👏

Hi, I’m Vickie. 👋🏻 Becoming a pharmacist was only the beginning.

Curiosity has always been my compass. It’s led me to building multiple health and wellness businesses, and travel the world searching for new ideas. 💡

Every place I visit, every conversation I have, and every experience I collect becomes something I bring back home.

Growth starts with staying curious. I’m excited to share the lessons, adventures, and behind-the-scenes moments as I continue my sometimes chaotic, always rewarding journey.

What do you wanna see on this page? Let me know point 👇🏻

Here’s the science most people skip:

Your skin barrier is picky. It only lets in molecules under about 500 Daltons. Most peptides are too big — they sit on top and never get in. GHK-Cu is small enough (~340–400 Da) to actually pass through. That’s why it’s one of the few peptides that earns its spot in a topical serum instead of just sounding fancy on the label.

So what’s the difference?

📍 Topical works outside-in. It delivers GHK-Cu to the skin where you apply it — think texture, tone, fine lines, surface-level support.

💉 Injectable works inside-out. It skips the barrier entirely and delivers more broadly, deeper than a serum can reach.

Neither is “better.” They’re built for different goals.

Knowing why a product is delivered the way it is — that’s the difference between buying the hype and understanding the science.

🧬 Love me some fun science facts.

Xoxo,
Vickie

Minimal products. Maximum impact.

* 🫧 Face Wash — because fresh skin > makeup wipes. iS Clinical Cleansing Complex.
* 🍊 Vitamin C Serum — morning glow is non-negotiable.iS Clinical PROHEAL serum.
* 💧 Moisturizer — hydrated skin always looks healthier. iS clinical emulsion. (That wet trendy look)
* ☀️ SPF — protection all day (8+ hour workdays don’t excuse skipping it). Pavise SPF. That one application, for the lazy girl ie me, no replying 🐐.
* 🦷 Floss — because confidence is in the details. Protip, floss while at stop lights while driving, and it’ll guarantee you floss at least twice times a day.
* 💋 Lip Hydration — dry lips are never the vibe. Ourself plumper & conditioner, bc make it medical grade & science. Duh.
* 🎧 AirPods — calls, podcasts, and music between appointments.

One thing I’ll never stop being grateful for? The people who continue to show up for me.

The ones who cheer me on.
Refer me when I’m not in the room.
Send people my way.
Support my businesses.
Believe in my vision.
And somehow continue to love me through all my “one more idea” moments 😅

None of this is built alone.

I hope you know I’m always cheering just as hard for you 🤍
