Flawless-looking skin comes from a simple routine done consistently, plus a few clever tricks for the big moments. The real secret to flawless skin is a consistent routine: cleanse every night, use vitamin C every morning for a brighter, more even tone, retinol at night for smoother, firmer skin, hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump, and SPF every single day. For the big day, chilled ice globes de-puff in minutes and Immaculift smooths the look of eye bags in around 90 seconds.
The flawless skin routine, step by step
- Cleanse thoroughly every night. Our Dual-Sided Face Cloths lift away make-up, SPF and the day's grime with just water, so your serums go onto clean skin.
- Vitamin C every morning. 3–4 drops of our 20% Vitamin C Serum for brighter, more radiant skin within about 3 weeks, with dark spots fading from around week 6.
- Hyaluronic acid, morning and night. Our Hyaluronic Acid Serum floods skin with hydration for a plumper, smoother look, and gives make-up the perfect base.
- Retinol at night. Our 2.5% Retinol Night Serum smooths texture in 2 to 4 weeks and softens the look of fine lines from around 6 to 8 weeks. New to retinol? Start every other night and build up to every night.
- Moisturise. Lock it all in with Pure Radiance or our Men's Daily Moisturiser.
- SPF every morning. Whatever the weather. It protects your glow and stops new dark spots forming.

Red-carpet tricks for the big day
De-puff with ice globes. Keep our Cryotherapy Ice Globes in the fridge, or in the freezer for an hour for a stronger effect. A few minutes gliding them over your face helps reduce the look of puffiness, eye bags and redness before make-up.
Smooth tired eyes in 90 seconds. As your final step, apply a thin layer of Immaculift to clean, completely dry skin under your eyes and keep your face still for 90 seconds. It visibly reduces the look of eye bags, puffiness and fine lines, and the effect lasts up to 8 hours. Finish with mineral powder make-up only.
Hydrate before make-up. Hyaluronic acid and moisturiser, then a minute's pause before foundation, give you the smoothest base.
Think ahead for lashes. Fuller-looking lashes frame the whole face. Spectaculash, our award-winning lash serum, gives longer, fuller, thicker-looking lashes in as little as 60 days, so start it two months before a big event.
Flawless skin habits
Never sleep in make-up. However late it is. Clean skin is where every good routine starts.
Be consistent. The same simple routine every day beats an expensive product used now and then.
Don't over-exfoliate. Scrubbing too hard leaves skin red and dull. Gentle daily exfoliation with the longer pile side of our face cloths, plus retinol at night, is all you need.
Keep your hands off. Picking and touching your face spreads bacteria and leaves marks.
Take a day-one photo. Compare it at week 4 and week 8. Day to day, change is hard to spot; side by side, it's obvious.
