    Oil cleanser → Water-based cleanser

    Double cleansing helps remove makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without stripping your skin. Start with oil, follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.

  • 02 Prep

    Toner / Lotion

    These watery layers hydrate, rebalance pH, and help your skin absorb everything that comes next. Toner pads count too.

  • 03 Treat

    Serums, ampoules, spot treatments

    Target specific concerns like acne, dullness, or texture with concentrated formulas made to do the heavy lifting.

  • 04 Hydrate

    Emulsions, gels, creams

    Lock in moisture and support your skin barrier with the texture that suits your skin type.

  • 05 Protect

    SPF (AM only)

    Masks, peels, eye creams
