01

Cleanser

After removing all makeup, sunscreen, and accumulated oil and dirt with micellar water or a cleansing balm, I follow up with a cleanser such as La Roche-Posay Purifying Cleanser to thoroughly cleanse my skin.

Cervantes Clinical
Brightening Pads
(coming soon!)

This custom-blended formula targets uneven skin tone with a synergistic mix of brightening and antioxidant ingredients. Enzyme-activated Arbutin (Arbutase) helps fade discoloration, while salicylic acid improves absorption to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and smooth skin texture. Kojic acid and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) offer added antioxidant protection.  Compounded fresh to preserve strength and effectiveness, it can be applied to the face, neck, chest, and other areas of concern

Tretinoin Cream

Follow with a retinoid to promote cell turnover. I prefer prescription-strength tretinoin for its clinically proven results.

04

Moisturizer

Finish with a moisturizer or barrier-repair cream to support skin recovery and hydration. My go-to is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5, which helps calm and restore the skin.
