Skin-Care Launches Are Here to Complete Your Skin-Cycling Routine

10 June 2024

There’s a luxurious moisturizer, a gentle but very effective retinal, and everything else you need to get glowing this spring.

Longer days (thank you, Daylight Savings Time), budding flowers, and thawing temperatures are all welcome changes that signal spring is upon us. In the same way that we retire our winter wardrobe in exchange for lighter layers, it’s the right time to reassess our skin-care routine.

To help with a fresh start, Renee Rouleau has a lightweight cleanser for a deep clean and The Outset offers a selfie-worthy Purifying Blue Clay Mask. If googling “skin cycling” has been at the top of your to-do list, Dr. Whitney Bowe’s Retinal Night Advanced 0.1% Retinal Firming Treatment is sure to pique your interest as well (more on that below).

Ready to swap thick salves and rich creams for lighter, more gel-like textures? Choose from the new and improved La Mer Soft Cream, Dermalogica’s Oxygen Cream that lifts and firms, or for a moisturizer with SPF, opt for Olay Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Moisturizer with SPF 30. While you’re at it, don’t forget to care for your skin from the neck down – Supergoop! Unseen Body SPF 40 is just as sheer as the much-beloved version for the face.

Finish things off with a few spritzes of the sparkling new Ellis Brooklyn Florist perfume, and we bet you will be feeling as fresh as a daisy.

For more details on all of these products and more, keep scrolling.

Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty Retinal Night Advanced 0.1% Retinal Firming Treatment

You know the skin-cycling trend that went viral on TikTok? (If you aren’t one of the 300 million viewers familiar with the concept, here’s the gist: Rotate different nightly treatments starting with an exfoliant, followed by a retinoid the next evening, and finish with two recovery nights using just moisturizer. Then you start over.) Dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, is the expert behind this regimen, and she just rounded out her line of products (which also includes an exfoliant and moisturizer) with Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty Retinal Night Advanced 0.1% Retinal Firming Treatment. It’s formulated with retinal — not retinol — which she says has powerful smoothing benefits but is less irritating. Plus, it’s infused with a potent blend of lipids, making it even easier to tolerate.

Lancôme Clarifique Refining Brightening Pro-Solution

When a brand goes through 70 different formulations to get a single product right, you can expect it to be great. That’s exactly what Lancôme did to perfect its new dark spot-fading, skin tone-evening, brightness-boosting serum, Clarifique Refining Brightening Pro-Solution, made with ingredients like niacinamide, PHAs, and glycerin. With consistent use, hyperpigmentation doesn’t stand a chance.

Dermalogica Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream

Bottled air would be a total gimmick, but your skin cells do, in fact, need oxygen to function and repair “damage.” Applying a pump of the Dermalogica Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream is almost like a deep breath for your skin: Its botanical-rich formula helps cells absorb oxygen more efficiently for firmer, more lifted skin over time.

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite EyeCare Max Pro

Step into the future with the redesigned Dr. Gross SpectraLite EyeCare Max Pro. This easy-to-wear mask treats the entire eye area with 30% more Red LED lights (to help firm and tone skin) than its predecessor. And because the charging cord is detachable, you can perk up your eyes while, say, vacuuming — or maybe something more relaxing, like sipping wine and watching Netflix.

Ellis Brooklyn Florist

You could buy yourself flowers — or consider picking up a bottle of this garden-inspired fragrance that blooms with tuberose, gardenia, and jasmine. A daily spritz of Ellis Brooklyn Florist will last a lot longer than cut flowers, and it’s just as uplifting.

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced

If lines and sagging skin were superheroes, this corrective cream would be their kryptonite. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advance is a rich balm that plumps skin with antioxidants and proxylane, a proprietary protein. Together they minimize collagen breakdown to prevent skin from sagging.

The Outset Purifying Blue Clay Mask

The next-best thing to visiting Iceland’s Blue Lagoon may be spending an evening in with The Outset Purifying Blue Clay Mask. Massage the formula on your face, turn on Daisy Jones & The Six, and allow the main characters — Riley Keough on your screen and purifying kaolin clay on your skin — to do their thing. After 10 minutes, pause the show, and then off rinse to reveal a healthy glow.

Olay Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Moisturizer

Any product that lets us skip a step and get out the door quicker is a win in our book. All you need in the morning is Olay Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Moisturizer, with its smoothing peptides, brightening niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, plus UV protection. You’d better believe it’s center stage in our medicine cabinet.

La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream

If you’re someone who doesn’t like change, hearing that your favorite moisturizer has been tweaked can be cause for concern. But in the case of La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream, you might not even notice it’s been upgraded until you see the glowing results. It’s still the same luxurious, lightweight texture, now with billions of moisture-filled spheres that hydrate skin even better than before.

Clarins Precious La Lotion

The three new products in the Clarins Precious Collection aren’t enriched with silver, gold, or diamonds, but rather a special French moonlight flower that blooms just one night a year. It sounds a little like a fairy tale — and it is a dreamy collection of products — but there’s actual science involved too. After harvesting the antioxidant-rich flowers by hand and promptly freezing them to preserve their youth-boosting actives, they are combined with a trio of smoothing peptides. You’ll find all of that in La Lotion, a lightweight essence that’s meant to be used ahead of the line’s cream and eye cream.

Westman Atelier Skin Activator

Makeup artist Gucci Westman is known for giving her clients glowing skin — and that starts with the perfect canvas. With this in mind, Westman has launched her first skin-care product, Westman Atelier Skin Activator. Inside the active-filled (12, to be exact) gel-serum, you’ll find familiar stars like hyaluronic acid for hydration and niacinamide for evening tone, along with more unusual ingredients such as l-arginine, an amino acid that plumps, and prickly pear extract to soothe.

Renée Rouleau Better Than Balm

Renée Rouleau Better Than Balm

If you have ever used the completely undetectable Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen, you will understand why it’s such a big deal that the body version just made its debut. Like the original formula for the face, Supergoop! Unseen Body SPF 40 promises invisible and fragrance-free sun protection, this time with body-specific benefits such as a smooth-glide gel texture that makes it easier to cover larger areas.

Flamingo Estate Clarity Mineral Soak

Inhale grounding scents of Douglas fir and vetiver in the Flamingo Estate Clarity Collection, then exhale the stress of your day. Choose your fighter: The Mineral Soak (a combination of California sea salts and Hawaiian green salts), Body Oil (made with huckleberry seed oil and sandalwood nut oil), or Fragrance Oil (a calming, earthy aroma with a hint of sweet basil) all relieve moments of tension.

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
