With a myriad of skincare solutions and a whole host of how-to videos and skincare guides, you’ll have help every step of the way as you embark on a journey to discovering your best skin. Below, we’ve rounded up some cult favourite staples and new holy grail contenders.

Pure Vitamin C 15% with Ferulic Acid

• For beginner or advanced skincare users with normal, dry, combination, or oily skin.
• Skin concerns: Hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and texture.
• For fans of Skinceutical's CE Ferulic With 15% L-ascorbic Acid.

Radiant skin is yours with this highly concentrated serum. 21.5% pure vitamin C and 70% sea buckthorn extract combine together to form a non-sticky and fast absorbing serum that will brighten and revitalize dull skin for a healthy glow.

Tip: If you’re using vitamin C for the first time, some slight itching is normal. Take care to avoid using around the eyes, mouth, or on broken and injured skin. Do not use in the same routine as physical or chemical exfoliants, or retinol; space out the usage. Follow up with a sunscreen during the day. Refrigerate before and after opening.

Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash

• For beginner or advanced skincare users with normal, combination, or oily skin.
• Skin concerns: Oiliness and texture.
• For fans of Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator.

A unique, pH balanced powder cleanser that lathers up to a gentle foam with water. Formulated with green tea powder to provide antioxidants that soothe the skin, this cleanser also utilizes baking soda to fight clogged pores and stubborn blackheads by gently exfoliating the skin. Papaya extract is added to decrease inflammation and stimulate collagen synthesis for soft and supple skin.

Tip: A little goes a long way–a quarter-size amount of powder is all you need! This gentle exfoliating cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, but those with sensitive skin may want to limit use to 2-3 times a week.

Mandelic Acid 5% Prep Water

• For beginner or advanced skincare users with normal, dry, combination, or oily skin.
• Skin concerns: Pores, texture, and acne.
• For fans of Youth to the People's Mandelic Acid + Superfood Unity Exfoliant.

This ultra gentle chemical exfoliant supports cell turnover to keep your pores clean and clear, and to transform your complexion with a radiant, refreshed glow. Centella asiatica and beta-glucan work to keep your skin calm and hydrated as the mandelic acid works its magic on your pores.

Tip: This can be used in place of toner, or as a supplement to your usual hydrating toner if you’ve got dry skin. Use this as the first step in your skincare routine, and remember to always follow up with a good sunscreen!

Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream

• For advanced skincare users with normal, dry, combination, or oily skin.
• Skin concerns: Fine lines, wrinkles, and texture.
• For fans of Drunk Elephant's A-Passioni Retinol Cream.

An anti-aging dream team of retinal (an even more potent version of retinol) and bakuchiol extract, a natural plant-based retinol. Slather this rich (and hypoallergenic!) cream onto your face at night to help fade away wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. If you’re alarmed by the appearance of the cream, don’t worry–the yellow colour is all natural, and goes away fully once you cleanse your face.

Tip: Retinal is a powerful ingredient; make sure you’re patch testing, and only increasing the amount and frequency of use little by little, working your way up to 1-2 pumps with every use. As retinol makes the skin more photosensitive, use only at night, and follow up with a high SPF, broad spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Polyphenol in Propolis 15% Ampoule

• For advanced skincare users with normal, dry, combination, oily, or sensitive skin.
• Skin concerns: Acne, oiliness, texture.
• For fans of Farmacy's HONEYMOON GLOW AHA Resurfacing Night serum.

This ampoule not only hydrates skin, but also fights acne and inflammation with 15% propolis extract and soothing houttuynia cordata plant extract. Polyphenols, naturally occurring micronutrients found in plants, work to fight UVB damage. Paired together, these two ingredients work in harmony to strengthen and condition the skin for a healthy glow.

Tip: After toning the face, apply 3-4 drops of the ampoule. If you’re also using a vitamin C serum in your routine, waiting 3-4 minutes before following up with this ampoule provides optimal results, as the antioxidant effects of propolis help boost the efficacy of vitamin C!

Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream

• For beginner or advanced skincare users with normal, dry, combination, oily, or sensitive skin.
• Skin concerns: Dryness, dullness, and texture.
• For fans of fresh's Vitamin C Glow Moisturizer.

A daily vitamin cream specially formulated to brighten up the complexion. Turn on the glow day and night with vitamins and antioxidants from a nourishing blend of sea buckthorn, sunflower seed, and macadamia oils.

Tip: Use with the Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum for even better results–the vitamin E in this cream helps boost the efficacy of the vitamin C for more potency!
