What these terms mean
Medical-grade
Formulas sold through clinics and authorized retailers rather than general retail. They use higher concentrations of tested active ingredients than drugstore equivalents. They are cosmetics, not prescription medicines — no prescription is required to buy them here.
Actives
The ingredients doing the measurable work in a formula — retinol, vitamin C, salicylic acid, niacinamide. Introduce one at a time so you can tell what your skin is responding to.
Skin barrier
The outermost layer of skin, which holds moisture in and irritants out. When it is disrupted, skin feels tight, stings on application, or flakes. Gentle cleansing and consistent moisturizing rebuild it.
Non-comedogenic
Formulated to avoid blocking pores. Useful shorthand if your skin is breakout-prone, though no formula can guarantee it for every person.
Broad-spectrum SPF
Sun protection that covers both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing and pigmentation). Anything you use as a daily final morning step should say broad-spectrum.
AM and PM
Morning and evening. Some products suit either; sunscreen is morning only, and retinol is evening only because it makes skin more sun-sensitive.
Post-procedure
The recovery period after a clinical treatment such as a peel, laser or microneedling. Your treatment provider decides when each product may be reintroduced — follow their direction over any routine shown here.

The actives, explained.

Most medical-grade formulas are built around a handful of well-studied ingredients. What each one does, who it suits, and how to start.

Try it in Retinol Complex SkinMedica® · From $66.00

Speeds up the skin's natural renewal, so texture looks smoother and fine lines look softer over time. Results build over months, not days.

Best for
  • Aging & Fine Lines
  • Uneven Texture
  • Breakouts
How to start
Use a pea-sized amount two or three nights a week, then add nights as your skin settles. Some dryness or flaking in the first weeks is common.

Wear SPF every morning while you use it. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Shop retinol
Try it in C E Peptides Serum Vivier · $222.00

An antioxidant that helps defend skin against daily UV and pollution, and brightens dull, uneven tone with regular use.

Best for
  • Dark Spots
  • Dullness
  • Aging & Fine Lines
How to start
Apply after cleansing and before sunscreen, every morning. A light tingle is normal; if it stings, use it every other day at first.

Always follow it with SPF.

Shop vitamin C
Try it in Vitamin B3 Brightening Serum PCA Skin · $184.00

Supports the skin barrier, calms the look of redness and helps even out dark spots. Gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Best for
  • Dark Spots
  • Redness
  • Oily Skin
How to start
Use once or twice a day after cleansing. It layers well with most other actives, including retinol and vitamin C.
Shop niacinamide
Try it in HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator SkinMedica® · $196.00

Draws water into the upper layers of the skin, so it looks plumper and feels less tight. It hydrates without adding oil.

Best for
  • Dry & Dehydrated
  • All Skin Types
How to start
Apply to damp skin, then seal it in with a moisturizer. Without a moisturizer on top, very dry skin can feel tighter afterwards.
Shop hyaluronic acid
Try it in AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream Vivier · $102.00

Exfoliating acids. AHAs loosen dead cells on the surface for smoother, brighter skin; BHA dissolves in oil and works inside the pore, which helps with breakouts.

Best for
  • Acne & Breakouts
  • Dullness
  • Uneven Texture
How to start
Begin two or three nights a week. If you also use retinol, use them on different nights until your skin is used to both.

Freshly exfoliated skin burns more easily. Wear SPF every day.

Shop exfoliants
Try it in Sheer SPF 45 Vivier · $90.00

Protects against the UVA and UVB rays behind sunburn, dark spots and visible aging. It also protects the results of every other step in your routine.

Best for
  • Every Skin Concern
How to start
Apply as the last step every morning, including cloudy days. Reapply every two hours outdoors, and after swimming or sweating.
