Start with the foundation
Every Essential collection contains a cleanser, moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen selected for the chosen focus. For teens, this three-step routine is the starting point.
Morning and evening are different
Use moisturizer as needed and follow your sunscreen’s label for application and reapplication. At night, cleanse and moisturize. Sunscreen belongs in daytime care, not the evening sequence.
What five and seven products add
Advanced adds a targeted serum and an oil cleanser for removing makeup and sunscreen in the evening. Ultimate adds an adult retinol where appropriate and one supporting product chosen for the focus. These are collections to use across morning and evening, not seven layers for every application. Introduce one new formula at a time.
Retinol needs extra care
Retinol is omitted for the 15–18 bracket and for redness-focused routines. Adults should introduce it slowly at night, use sun protection every morning and avoid retinoids during pregnancy. Active redness, persistent acne or irritation needs individual advice from a qualified professional.
