Let’s get started with the AM routine
The easy 5-step morning skincare routine
CLEANSE
Morning cleansing may not be quite as imperative as the night-time removal of makeup, sunscreen and more, but it’s still an important step. It will remove sweat, dirt, and anything else accumulated on top of your skin, meaning skin can function more efficiently throughout the day. Clean skin is also much more able to absorb any actives you apply and looks brighter and clearer. We suggest our pH balanced cleanser for all skin types, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser which includes squalane, apricot kernel oil, vitamin E and avocado oil to gently cleanse without stripping skin.
TONE
Refine your skin with a toner for a glowy, clean look. Toner helps to remove the last traces of cleanser, meaning your skin is REALLY clean. Plus, when you choose a blend that is packed with emollients like squalane and apricot kernel oil, you’re boosting skin hydration early in the game, which leads to plumper, happier feeling skin. Swipe on our bestselling Ultra Facial Toner to help comfort, hydrate and tone all skin types including sensitive skin.
SERUM
Now comes the fun bit! Serums are lightweight and sink into skin quickly, but pack a punch with a blend of powerful active ingredients. If you’re tackling any specific skin issues like breakouts or lines, then here’s your chance to add a targeted serum to your routine. As we’re focusing on radiance with this routine, we’re recommending our Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate. This vitamin C serum is clinically-demonstrated to boost skin’s radiant look while visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's ideal for dull skin and works for all skin types including sensitive skin.
MOISTURISE
After your serum sinks in – give it a few minutes, it’s time to layer on a nourishing moisturiser to ensure skin stays hydrated all day long. Skin that dries out throughout the day will quickly show damage with dry patches and rough texture. Reach for the global bestseller Ultra Facial Cream which suits all skin types, including sensitive skin, with its unique light texture and up to 24-hour lasting hydration.
SUNSCREEN
Never skip the sunscreen step, as it will protect your skin from the damaging rays that lead to premature lines and wrinkles. Our sunscreen Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA++++, has a light, comfortable feel and a non-greasy finish. It provides all day hydration and includes pollution protection alongside SPF 50.
The simple 5-step evening skincare routine
DOUBLE CLEANSE
Double cleansing means exactly that – cleansing twice! It’s a beneficial process if you’ve been out and about in traffic or a city, or if you have been wearing makeup. The first cleanse is all about removing the debris of the day, while the second cleanse removes any left behind makeup, cleanser residue, and ensures your skin is completely ready to absorb the active ingredients from the rest of your routine. Remove makeup and SPF with an oil based cleanser like our Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil which contains lavender and evening primrose oil. Next, get skin ultra clean, but never stripped with our Ultra Facial Cleanser.
TONE
Just as in the morning, a swipe of our Ultra Facial Toner in the evening helps to refresh skin and prepare it to absorb active ingredients. It also helps to rid the complexion of dead skin cells which can cause dull skin and a rough texture.
SERUM
Our skin naturally repairs itself throughout the night, so give it a helping hand with a serum like our Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Formulated with a botanical blend of seed, plant, flower oils and now infused with passionflower, our beloved nighttime facial oil helps to visibly reduce fine lines, refine skin’s texture, and boost glow overnight for more radiant skin come morning.

MOISTURISE
A daily application of night cream will help to hydrate your skin throughout the night hours, sealing in hydration for more radiant skin when you wake up. All skin types, but especially dry skin should try our Midnight Recovery Omega Rich Cloud Cream which will replenish skin’s protective lipid barrier with lightweight moisture. Infused with our rejuvenating botanicals and omega 3 and 6, it sinks in quickly to deliver visible radiance when your alarm goes off!
