Fatigue, pollution, smoking, excessive sun exposure, natural ageing and chronic stress slow down cell renewal, increase oxidative stress and lead to a duller complexion (1).
Approved by dermatologists, this routine targets the visible signs of these key factors to restore radiance, even out the complexion and help slow down premature skin ageing.

My 4-step routine
Step 1 – Cleansing my skin
Papaya & Vitamin C Enzymatic Cleansing Powder
This powder cleanses and exfoliates whilst refining the skin’s texture. Natural enzymes provide a very gentle, grain-free exfoliation. Vitamin C, an antioxidant with skin-evening properties, boosts radiance and evens out the complexion.
Recommended use: in the morning and/or evening, pour a small amount of powder into the palm of your hand. Add a few drops of lukewarm water (the enzymes are activated by the warmth of the water) and rub your hands together until a creamy lather forms. Apply all over the face and neck, then rinse with clean water.
Step 2 – Identifying my skin concern
10% Vitamin C & Astaxanthin Concentrated Serum
Its formula brightens the complexion, stimulates collagen synthesis and reduces dark spots and the signs of photo-ageing.
Recommended use: In the morning and/or evening, apply a few drops of serum to cleansed skin all over the face and neck.
Step 3 – Moisturising my skin
Hyaluronic Acid & Polyglutamic Acid Cream
A formula with proven efficacy that guarantees a 74% increase in immediate hydration, thanks to its synergy of hyaluronic acids of varying molecular weights and polyglutamic acid, capable of retaining up to 5,000 times its weight in water.
Ideal for use in combination with the Stabilised Vitamin C & Astaxanthin Concentrated Serum for supple, radiant, plump skin that is protected from oxidative stress.
Recommended use : morning and/or evening; apply to the entire face and neck.
Step 4 – Take action from within
Marine Collagen – Dietary Supplement
These premium-quality, low-molecular-weight hydrolysed marine collagen peptides ensure optimal absorption. This type 1 collagen has proven efficacy in promoting skin beauty and firmness, as confirmed by clinical studies; it improves the radiance and evenness of the complexion.
Recommended use: Take a dose of 5 g (2 teaspoons) to 10 g (2 tablespoons) per day for 3 months, diluted in a glass of water, fruit juice, a cup of tea, coffee or a smoothie.
A word from the experts
Dr Dima HAIDAR, Dermatologist
“In my opinion, vitamin C is the best antioxidant for skincare. It’s perfect for restoring the complexion’s radiance and combating signs of tiredness. It helps even out the complexion and fade pigmentation spots for a more luminous complexion. It helps protect the skin against the harmful effects of free radicals caused by pollution or UV rays. It is therefore a key ingredient when it comes to preventing skin ageing.”
Dr Valerie ESPINASSE, Micronutritionist
“Antioxidants, whether derived from vitamins (C, E), minerals (selenium, zinc) or polyphenols, protect the skin against free radicals caused by stress, pollution or UV rays. They therefore slow down the process of premature ageing, reduce inflammation and promote an even, radiant complexion.”
Emilie Ondet, Naturopath and Engineer specialising in biochemistry and natural active ingredients
“Radiant skin is well-oxygenated skin. And there’s nothing quite like physical activity to promote tissue oxygenation. Indeed, the link may not be obvious, but exercise has a direct impact on skin health: it improves blood circulation, which boosts the supply of oxygen and nutrients and contributes to a more radiant complexion. It also increases the production of endorphins, which reduces stress and inflammation, thereby promoting better sleep. A good night’s sleep ensures more effective skin cell repair (due to the synthesis of growth hormones during sleep). Be careful, however, not to overdo it, as sweating and sun exposure can damage the skin and aggravate skin problems. (2)”
Dr Anthony TOUBOUL’s Aroma Solution: a pharmacist specialising in aromatherapy
“Add a single drop of essential oil directly to a small amount of organic lily vegetable oil, targeting your main concern:
If your priority is skin texture (enlarged pores, uneven skin texture): Choose organic rose geranium. By smoothing the surface of the epidermis, it enables the skin to capture and reflect light once again. It is suitable for all skin types.
If your face looks tired (tired-looking features, nervous exhaustion): Opt for organic neroli. Incorporated into your evening skincare routine, it repairs the damage caused by the day whilst acting as an excellent nerve relaxant before bed.
If you notice an uneven complexion (dull skin, small pigmentation spots): Use mandarin essence (exclusively in the evening). It is the ultimate brightening treatment to restore an even, radiant and refreshed complexion when you wake up.”
