How to use

THE BOOK: SKINCARE DECODED

Divided into 3 major sections - skincare fundamentals (cleanse, moisturize, sun protection), actives (retinol, niacinamide, vitamin C, AHAs, etc), and routine building. Read front to back, read just specific chapters you're interested in, read back to front! - the chemists hope it serves as a long term guide in your skincare journey.

Blank Slate Cleanser

Our skin pH friendly gentle, low-foam cleanser. This gentle yet powerful cleanser can thoroughly remove the day's dirt & grime without stripping skin.

Aquafix Soothing & Hydrating Serum

Our top-selling soothing, hydrating water gel. A truly oil-free hydrator. This is the perfect one-and-done for those with oily skin. For those with normal to dry skin, use Aquafix as your hydrating serum.

Double Play Face & Eye Retinol

With 0.3% retinol and 2% peptides blend, this is a highly efficacious treatment that targets fine lines, skin texture, uneven pigmentations. This is also dermatologist tested to be gentle enough for the eye area.

The chemists had a major case of imposter syndrome working on Skincare Decoded because they weren't writers. They spent all of COVID on this project and would consider it their toughest project to date because they wanted to make sure all types of users no matter how beginner or how expert could learn something from this resource!
