How to build a skincare routine that actually works
Most skincare routines fail because they have too many steps, not too few. The products here are chosen to work as a small system: cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect. Four steps done consistently will do more for your skin than ten products used occasionally.
In what order should I apply my skincare?
Start with Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow with Hydra E-Serum while skin is still slightly damp — serums absorb better on damp skin than dry. Éclaire Eye Serum goes around the eye area before heavier products. Finish with Lumière Oil to seal everything in.
In the morning, add SPF as your final step. At night, Lumière Oil is the last thing you apply.
Setting Spray isn't skincare, but it belongs in the routine — it locks makeup in place and takes the powdery edge off a finished face.
Where should I start?
If you're building a routine from scratch, begin with a cleanser and a serum. Those two do the most work. Add an oil once you know how your skin responds, and treat the eye area separately only if it needs it.
