As skin matures, cell turnover slows, skin holds less moisture, and years of sun start to show. You don't need a 12-step routine. You need the right few steps, done consistently.
Morning
- Cleanse gently with the Gentle Cleanser.
- Add an antioxidant with the Vit C Serum.
- Hydrate with the Hyaluronic Serum.
- Protect with Morning Moisture SPF 30, the most effective anti-aging step there is.
✨ Ask Rae: Daily SPF plus gentle exfoliation are the two habits that change mature skin the most.
Evening
- Cleanse.
- Exfoliate 3–4 nights a week with the Scrub for smoother, brighter-looking texture.
- Serum with the Anti-Aging Serum or Vit A Serum.
- Nourish with the EGF Cream or Moisture Balance Cream.
Weekly extra
The Pumpkin Enzyme Mask gives a gentle, glow-boosting exfoliation once a week. The Renew Kit bundles a core routine.
