How long should I follow this routine to see maximum results?

Over 90% of independent trial participants saw a reduction in fine lines within 4 weeks of twice-daily use. For more significant firmness improvement, 8–12 weeks is recommended. Anti-ageing results are cumulative — the longer you use this routine consistently without breaking, the more significant the improvement. Stopping and restarting delays the collagen build-up that delivers the most visible change.

What is the correct protocol for all 5 steps?

Morning: Nourishing Cream Cleanser → Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate (to areas of concern) → Signature Serum (full face) → Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30. Evening: Nourishing Cream Cleanser → Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate (to areas of concern) → Signature Serum (full face) → Night Recovery Cream.

Why is the Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate used both morning and evening in this routine?

The Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate contains Encapsulated Retinol at 7% equivalent — a clinically active concentration. Twice-daily use maximises both the targeted collagen stimulation from retinol and the neurocosmetic tightening effect from Acmella Flower Extract. The controlled-release encapsulation makes it suitable for morning use, and SOM1X® in the Signature Serum ensures the barrier environment supports this level of activity.

Is this routine suitable for preventative anti-ageing, or only for established fine lines?

Both. The routine is equally effective as a preventative measure — using Encapsulated Retinol, Matrixyl Synthe 6™ and SPF daily from your 30s will significantly slow the development of visible fine lines. It is also highly effective for established lines and loss of firmness at any age.

Can I use this routine if I have sensitive skin?

Yes. Both the cleanser and serum are dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. The Encapsulated Retinol is time-released to minimise irritation, and SOM1X® in the Signature Serum creates the barrier stability that allows the retinol to work gently. If you are new to retinol, start with the Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate once daily in the evening and build to twice-daily over 2–3 weeks.
