The architecture of skin

01Surface

The skin's surface is alive.

A community of bacteria and yeasts lives on the very top of your skin. When this community is in balance, skin stays calm, hydrated and resilient. Pores and hairs also open onto this surface.

Every concernhas a cause.

From acne to dark spots, from redness to dandruff: 21 topics. Each one covers causes, symptoms, treatment options and a step-by-step care routine. Understand the cause, choose the solution.

First, get toknow your skin.

Care chosen for the wrong type quietly wears down the barrier. Discover how to recognise each of the six skin types, what it needs and which ingredients suit it.

Care by age

Your skin grows with you.

Hormones, collagen, sebum and the microbiome change every decade. Your care should change with them. Scroll and travel to your own age.

Pregnancy and after

Two hearts, one skin: safe, simple and caring skincare

What should skincare look like during pregnancy, and which creams should you avoid? Hormones can cause dark patches, stretch marks and breakouts, or, quite the opposite, give you a glow. By setting aside retinoids and building a simple routine with safe ingredients, you can protect yourself and your baby, and rest easy knowing that most changes fade after delivery.

Hair and scalp

Your scalp isskin too.

Shiny, strong hair starts with a healthy scalp. It has its own microbiome, its own barrier and its own concerns. Think about your hair type and your scalp type together.

The foundation of every routine

Four steps,for every skin.

Cleanse01

Start gently.

A cleanser that doesn't leave your skin tight, with little foam and a pH close to the skin's own. Light in the morning; in the evening, a cleanse that fully removes makeup and sunscreen.

Support02

Focus on your concern.

Vitamin C or azelaic acid for dark spots, niacinamide for pores, a retinoid for ageing. No more than one or two actives at a time, slowly and consistently.

Moisturise03

Feed the shield.

Ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid hold water in your skin. Moisturisers with prebiotics and probiotics can help support the skin’s natural balance.

Protect04

SPF every day.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Against the biggest cause of wrinkles and dark spots, this is the most effective step in your routine.
