Using the products
The Skinpharma Cosmeceuticals Collection has been purposely made up of a small range of products to make your life easier.
Each product container has timing icons at the top ('sun' for daytime & 'moon' for nighttime use) & shows the type of product at the bottom (eg to cleanse, moisturise, repair or to provide radiance).
Here's a simple usage protocol that works well with the product range as a whole:
CORE TREATMENTS | ||
When? | Product | Effect |
1st on a morning | Reveal Glycolic Wash | Cleanse |
2nd on a morning | C-20 Maximum Strength Vitamin C Serum | Brighten |
3rd on a morning | Protect SPF 20 or Protect SPF50 | Moisturise & sunblock |
1st on an evening | Reveal Glycolic Wash | Cleanse |
2nd on an evening | *Recover Active Night Cream | Repair |
TREATMENTS AS NEEDED | ||
As needed- daytime &/or evening | Lip Complex | Moisturise |
As needed- daytime &/or evening | Quench 4D Replenishing Serum | Moisturise |
ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS | ||
Morning &/or evening | Refine intensive eye serum | Repair |
Morning &/or evening | Lift neck & décolletage firming cream | Repair |
* The Recover Active Night Cream contains a retinoid.
This can be used over 6-8 weeks, after which time it can be switched to the R+ Serum. This has a higher strength retinoid, to maintain effective background skin repair.
It's important to build up the retinoid strength gradually over time, to minimise the problem of skin irritation.
Use of regular daytime sunblock, such as Protect 20 or Protect 50 is also important, because of the increase in skin sensitivity to sun exposure when using retinoid products.
I hope you enjoy using the products.
