How to Create an Effective Anti-Ageing Routine
The short answer
An effective routine is simple: cleanse, treat with copper peptides and retinol, hydrate and protect with SPF. For the firmness step, Blue Copper 5 Firming Elasticity Repair delivers clinically dosed copper peptides.
Building an effective skincare routine can feel complicated, but it doesn't have to be. A results-driven regimen comes down to a few proven steps applied in the right order and kept up consistently. Here's how to create one that firms, smooths and protects.
The framework
Every effective routine covers four jobs: cleanse, treat, hydrate and protect. Choose treatments with proven actives — copper peptides, retinol, vitamin C — and hydrate with hyaluronic acid.
Morning and night
Morning protects (antioxidant, hydration, firming cream, SPF); night renews and repairs (hydration, retinol or peptides, moisturiser). Split vitamin C (AM) and retinol (PM).
