Build Your Routine
A complete Elystara routine is four steps in the morning and four at night. Start with cleanse, treat and protect; add the rest once those are a habit.
Morning
- Cleanse — Cleansing Gel for all skin types, or Cleansing Foam if your skin runs dry.
- Treat — Vitamin C Brightening Serum for tone and radiance, or Niacinamide Refining Serum for pores and shine.
- Hydrate — Hydrating Cream for dry to normal skin, Gel Cream for combination to oily.
- Protect — Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50, or Aqua Fusion if you prefer a water-light finish. This step is not optional, particularly alongside retinol or vitamin C.
Evening
- Remove — Micellar-Based Cleanser for makeup and sunscreen.
- Cleanse — your usual cleanser, as a second pass.
- Treat — Retinol Serum two or three evenings a week to begin with, building up as your skin adjusts. On the nights in between, Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
- Restore — Éclat Night Renewal Cream.
Weekly
Peel-Off Radiant Mask, once or twice a week, on an evening you are not using retinol.
A note on combining actives
Retinol and vitamin C are both best used on their own — keep vitamin C to mornings and retinol to evenings. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid combine comfortably with everything else in the range.
