Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

This set contains a powerhouse of clinically proven technologies across six essential products:

• Squalane (Cleanser): A skin-identical lipid that dissolves makeup and impurities while keeping the barrier hydrated.
• 7% Glycolic Acid (Toner): An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that chemically exfoliates the surface to boost radiance and even out skin tone.
• Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Serum): A universal vitamin and mineral formula that targets excess shine, reduces the look of pores, and brightens skin tone.
• Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (Serum): A multi-depth hydration complex featuring five forms of HA and Ceramides to replump and retain moisture.
• Caffeine 5% + EGCG (Eye Serum): A high-solubility solution that constricts blood vessels to reduce puffiness and targets pigmentation to brighten dark circles.
• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (Moisturizer): A non-greasy cream using Amino Acids and Phospholipids to mimic the skin's natural protective barrier.

FAQ

Q: Is this set safe for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, though we recommend introducing the Glycolic Acid Toner slowly (2-3 times a week) as AHA exfoliation can be strong for some sensitive types.

A: Absolutely! Every item in this set is under 100ml, making it fully compliant with international liquid travel regulations.

Q: How long will this set last?
A: Depending on usage, this set typically provides enough product for a 3 to 4-week complete regimen trial.

Q: Do I need to use sunscreen with this set?
A: Yes. Because the set includes Glycolic Acid (an AHA), your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Always apply SPF during the day.

Q: Can I use all these products together?
A: Yes, they were specifically chosen to be used as a cohesive regimen. Follow the "How to Use" guide above for the correct layering order.
