HOW TO USE
- Morning Hydration: After cleansing, apply 2–3 pumps of the Collagen Day Serum to the face, eyes, and neck. This serum provides all-day protection against free radicals.
- Evening Exfoliation: Apply the AHA Active Exfoliant (7% or 10%) to cleansed skin. Leave for 10–15 minutes—the formula automatically stops activity after 15 minutes—then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Nighttime Regeneration: After rinsing the exfoliant, apply 2–3 pumps of the Collagen Night Serum to support the skin’s nocturnal repair and renewal cycle.
EXPERT TIP
Expert Tip: Start 2–3 times per week and build up frequency as skin tolerance increases.
Proven Results
The performance of the 3-Step Core Routine was evaluated in an independent 12-week study of 31 participants over the age of 40 with aging skin. The measurements confirmed:
*Results may vary. Individual results are not guaranteed.
The efficacy of the Core Routine lies in its synergistic "Quality Medical System" approach. It begins with the Exfoliant, described as "jogging for the skin," which dissolves the biological "glue" (desmosomes) holding dead corneocytes together. This process not only reveals fresh skin but also increases blood flow (hyperemia), ensuring that new keratinocytes are better nourished with oxygen and nutrients. Once the skin is prepared, the Day and Night Serums can penetrate significantly deeper than traditional topicals. The NEOTEC A15™ complex floods the skin with medical-grade hydration, while Matrixyl 3000® signals the skin to act as it did in youth, actively repairing the structural matrix from the inside out to counteract intrinsic and extrinsic aging.
As the 3-Step Core Routine is a synergistic system available in both Strong and Sensitive editions, the full ingredient lists for each of its core components are provided below.
