Home/Routine

Four steps. Real results.

Not ten. Four, done consistently for six months, will do more than ten done erratically for three weeks — and that isn't modesty, it's how skin renews.

STEP 01
Cleanse
Lift away pollution, sunscreen and excess oil without stripping your barrier — morning and night, with lukewarm water and a full minute of contact.
D'COS Face Wash CeraniQ Clo Facewash CeraniQ Hydrating Bar
STEP 02
Treat
One targeted active on dry skin. Antioxidants in the morning, corrective actives at night. One at a time — stacking is where barrier damage begins.
AgeniQ Face Serum Melaphix Cream
STEP 03
Moisturise
Seal it in on skin that's still damp. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid repair and hold moisture — essential in Indian heat and air-conditioning alike.
CeraniQ Daily Lotion
STEP 04
Protect
SPF 50+ PA+++, two finger-lengths, every single morning. India's UV index makes this the step that decides whether the other three compound.
Photoactive Hydra Gel Photoactive Matte Gel
Morning and night

The same four, differently ordered.

Morning

Protect what you have

Cleanse — gently, to remove overnight sebum.
Treat — an antioxidant serum on dry skin.
Moisturise — light, on skin still damp.
Protect — SPF 50+ PA+++, two finger-lengths, always last.

Night

Repair what the day did

Cleanse — twice if you wore sunscreen or makeup.
Treat — one corrective active. One. Not three.
Moisturise — ceramides, within three minutes of washing.
No SPF — there's no UV to filter, and skin is repairing.

Hydration
Days
Comfort and plumpness respond almost immediately.
Brightness & texture
3–4 weeks
Roughly one full skin renewal cycle.
Pigmentation
6–12 weeks
Longer for melasma, and only with daily SPF.
Lines & firmness
3 months+
Collagen doesn't hurry for anyone.
The rules underneath

Things that matter more than which product.

One at a time

Introduce actives fortnightly

Two weeks between new products. Otherwise a reaction tells you nothing about what caused it.

Damp, not dry

Moisturise within three minutes

The same product does measurably more applied to damp skin than to skin that's air-dried.

Lukewarm

Turn the water down

Hot water strips barrier lipids more efficiently than most cleansers. It's free to fix.

Measured

Two finger-lengths of SPF

Most people apply a quarter of what the rating was tested at, then conclude SPF doesn't work.

Photograph it

Same light, every four weeks

Daily mirrors hide gradual change. A photo from six weeks ago doesn't.

Patience

Six months, not three weeks

The most common reason a routine 'fails' is that it was abandoned before skin had time to answer.
