PRODUCT USAGE

1. Is it important to use the same products every day to achieve optimal therapeutic results for the skin?

Consistency is key for therapeutic skincare results. Your skin responds best to regular use of active ingredients, allowing them to work synergistically over time. While occasional variation is fine, maintaining a core routine helps your skin build resilience and achieve lasting improvements in texture, tone, and overall health. This is especially true with the Bakuchiol, Skin Brightening Serum, Vitamin C, All 3, Everything serum & One&Done SB oil (if you are trying to heal a specific skin issue with this oil)

2. What products should be used daily to see results?

For optimal results, use these daily:

  • Vitamin C Serum for skin damage repair. All 3 Triple Weight Hyaluronic Acid Serum for skin hydration and moisture boosts. Everything Peptide Serum for firming. Skin Brightening Serum for dark spot repair. Bakuchiol for fine line repair. One&Done SB Oil for healing.

Our Sea buckthorn Vegan Omega 7 soft gels should also be taken consistently as directed for internal support.

3. When layering multiple products, do they actually penetrate the skin or remain on the surface?

Quality formulations are designed to penetrate the skin's barrier. Water-based serums and lightweight oils like sea buckthorn are particularly effective at delivering active ingredients into the deeper layers of skin. Proper layering technique—applying to damp skin and allowing absorption time between products—ensures maximum penetration rather than surface buildup.

4. Can I mix and match depending on the day/weather/wearing makeup or not?

Absolutely! Your skin's needs change with seasons, climate, and lifestyle. Feel free to adjust your routine:

  • Humid days – Use lighter serums, skip heavier oils or balms

  • Dry weather – Layer additional hydrating products

  • Makeup days – Use lighter morning layers for better makeup application

  • No-makeup days – Add extra nourishing oils or treatments

Keep your core actives consistent, but adjust supporting products as needed.

5. What do you suggest for a morning routine, and an evening routine?

Morning Routine (Protect & Energize):

  1. Gentle cleanser or water rinse with BARE FACE cleanser

  2. Tight & Toned toner (morning or evening but not both and not every day)

  3. Lightweight EVERYTHING Peptide Serum.

  4. Lightweight Bare Face Botanical Face oil (optional very nice under make up)

Evening Routine (Repair & Renew):

  1. Thorough cleanse with BARE FACE cleanser

  2. Tight & Toned toner (morning or evening but not both and not every day)

  3. Treatment serums such Vitamin C, All 3, Bakuchiol & Skin Bright Serum (this is when to use your most active products)

  4. Nourishing facial oil like One& Done sea buckthorn to lock everything in and protect.

6. Does one application of a product really help if I don't use it every day?

While a single application provides immediate benefits like hydration and temporary glow, therapeutic results require consistent use. Active ingredients need time to create cellular changes—typically 4-6 weeks of regular use. Think of it like exercise: one workout feels good, but consistent practice transforms your body. For best results, commit to daily use of your core products.

7. What order should I layer them?

Follow this layering sequence for optimal absorption:

  • Cleanser – Remove impurities and prepare skin

  • Toner – Balance pH and prep for absorption

  • Serums – Apply thinnest to thickest consistency

  • Oils/Balms – Seal in hydration and active ingredients

The general rule: apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency, allowing at least 1 minute between layers for proper absorption.

8. Is it important to follow an exact routine or can I choose based on how my skin feels and looks?

The best approach combines both structure and intuition. Maintain consistency with your core therapeutic products (mentioned above), but feel empowered to adjust supporting products based on your skin's daily needs. If your skin feels tight, add extra hydration. If it's congested, use a lighter touch. Learning to read your skin and respond accordingly is part of developing a sustainable, effective routine that works for your unique needs.

You do not need to use all the products every day. Listen to your skin and also allow a break with products to let you skin adjust and breathe.

9. If you could only recommend one product, what would it be?

This is easy. The One&Done Organic Sea buckthorn oil. This multi tasking oil intuitively knows what your skin needs. From healing all sorts of skin issues to anti-aging. This oil can do it all.
