Healthy, youthful-looking skin starts with daily protection and visible repair. Here’s how to build a simple, science-backed routine that helps defend against UV damage and support visible skin renewal — all powered by The Ordinary.
1. Start with a Gentle Cleanse
A clean, balanced base helps other products absorb effectively. Squalane Cleanser removes makeup and impurities while supporting surface hydration.
2. Strengthen Your Skin Barrier
A strong barrier helps keep moisture in and environmental stressors out. Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Moisturizer provides surface hydration and helps support the skin barrier.
3. Add Antioxidant Protection
Antioxidants help defend against visible signs of aging caused by environmental stressors. EUK 134 0.1% offers antioxidant support to help maintain healthy-looking skin.
4. Target Visible Signs of Aging
Support smoother, firmer-looking skin with Multi-Peptide + HA Serum. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and improves the feel of elasticity.
5. Protect with Daily SPF
UV protection is essential for helping to prevent premature signs of aging. UV Filters SPF 45 Serum provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defense in a lightweight, hydrating serum texture.
6. Restore and Repair at night
Nighttime is when your skin repairs itself. Retinol 0.2% in Squalane helps reduce the appearance of fine lines while supporting smoother-looking skin over time.
Quick Tip: Start with a low concentration and use only at night with SPF protection during the day.
