Four products, £146 instead of £183 — a saving of £37.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the set for people who have decided to stop guessing. Everything here was formulated to sit alongside everything else here, which is not something you can assume when you assemble a routine from four different brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe routine, in order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Purify — Turmeric \u0026amp; Black Soap Face Wash, 50ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cleansing should not leave you counting the minutes until you can put something back on. Turmeric and African black soap, for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Renew — Bakuchiol Face Serum with Blue Tansy, 30ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e The treatment step. Bakuchiol is the most researched botanical alternative to retinol and is far better tolerated — which matters more than potency, if potency means you stop after a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Protect — Mineral Day Cream with Zinc Oxide, 30g.\u003c\/strong\u003e The morning one. Calendula, non-nano zinc oxide and beta-carotene. Light enough to wear every day, under make-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Nourish — Rich Face Balm with Rose \u0026amp; Geranium, 30ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e The night one. Skin loses lipids as it ages, and lotion is mostly water, which leaves. A balm gives those fats back and stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the four fit together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMorning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purify, then Renew, then Protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purify, then Renew, then Nourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerum before cream, every time. An oil serum under a balm gets in. An oil serum over a balm sits there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your skin is new to bakuchiol, use Renew at night only, every other night, for the first fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBakuchiol at two levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenew and Nourish both contain bakuchiol — high in the serum, lower in the balm. That was deliberate. Sensitive and mature skin does better with a steady, tolerable level of an active than with a single aggressive dose it then has to recover from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNature provides the idea. I add the science.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese notes explain why each ingredient was selected. They are not claims about what the finished products will do.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGive it eight to twelve weeks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin cells turn over roughly every four weeks, and texture takes longer than that. This set is about two to three months of use — which is, not coincidentally, how long you need before you can fairly judge any of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitive skin that has never got on with retinol or acids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature skin that has gone dry, dull and lost its bounce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone rebuilding a routine from scratch after their old one stopped working.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso suitable for people who may be prone to eczema, dermatitis or rosacea. Renew and Nourish are oil-based — patch test carefully if your skin is congestion-prone. Nourish contains beeswax, so this set is not suitable for vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on Protect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtect contains non-nano zinc oxide and is a daily mineral moisturiser. It is not a rated sunscreen and should not be used in place of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you start\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatch test each product separately, on different areas, so that if something does react you know which one it was. Sensitised skin can take days to react rather than minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children. Store somewhere cool and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you save\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurify £28, Renew £58, Protect £42, Nourish £55. Bought separately, £183.
