Achieving that coveted supermodel glow might seem like a distant dream, especially if you struggle with acne. However, with the right skincare routine, you can significantly improve your skin’s texture, clarity, and radiance in just six weeks.

At Saint Louve Skincare, we believe in the power of targeted ingredients and thoughtful formulations. Here’s how our Vitamin B3, B5 & Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum and 0.25% Encapsulated Retinol Serum can help you transform your skin.

Week 1-2: Hydration and Barrier Repair

Focus: Establishing a solid foundation is crucial for achieving healthy skin. During the first two weeks, focus on hydration and strengthening your skin barrier.

Key Product: Vitamin B3, B5 & Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum

This powerhouse serum combines niacinamide (Vitamin B3), panthenol (Vitamin B5), and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, soothe, and repair the skin. Niacinamide is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and irritation often associated with acne. Panthenol, a form of Vitamin B5, helps to calm and heal the skin, while hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration, plumping the skin and improving its texture.

Routine:
1. Cleanse: Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to remove impurities without disturbing your skin’s natural barrier.
2. Serum: Apply the Vitamin B3, B5 & Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum twice daily, morning and night. This will keep your skin hydrated and help minimize the appearance of acne and inflammation.
3. Moisturise: Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturiser to lock in hydration.
4. Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from UV damage.

Week 3-4: Introducing Encapsulated Retinol

Focus: Once your skin is well-hydrated and your barrier is strong, it's time to introduce retinol for its transformative effects on acne and overall skin texture.

Key Product: 0.25% Encapsulated Retinol Serum

Encapsulated retinol is a gentler form of retinol that allows for controlled release into the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. It helps increase cell turnover, unclog pores, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and acne scars. Starting with a low concentration like 0.25% is ideal, especially for those new to retinol.

Routine:
1. Evening Only: Apply the 0.25% Encapsulated Retinol Serum in the evening, starting with twice a week to assess your skin’s tolerance.
2. Follow with Moisturiser: After the retinol serum has absorbed, follow with a hydrating moisturiser to minimise potential dryness or irritation.
3. Continue Daytime Routine: In the morning, continue using the Vitamin B3, B5 & Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum and sunscreen.

Week 5-6: Consistency and Observation

Focus: The final weeks are about consistency and monitoring your skin’s response. By now, you should start to see improvements in skin texture, clarity, and tone.

Routine:
1. Adjust Frequency: If your skin tolerates the retinol well, you can gradually increase the frequency of use to every second night. Continue using the hydrating serum daily.
2. Observe: Pay attention to how your skin responds. Some initial purging (an increase in breakouts) is normal as the retinol accelerates skin cell turnover.
3. Stay Protected: Continue to use sunscreen diligently, as retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
