How to use

Consider this kit as the chemists' onboarding experience to our beloved Double Play Face & Eye Retinol Treatment.

THE EXPERIMENT FUNDAMENTALS

If you're new to our line, this is an easy introduction and strategic, guided experiment of mixing and matching to build your ideal routine. This full routine includes a gentle face cleanser & 3 soothing, moisturizing solutions that can be tailored to whatever your skin is feeling that day...or season!

DOUBLE PLAY FACE & EYE RETINOL

For a gentle onboard, use Double Play 3 times a week nightly for two weeks. Once you feel your skin has a good handle on Double Play, increase frequency to nightly. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

To use as an eye cream, apply this formula to the crow's feet and under eye area to tackle all your eye concerns. No need to buy extra little jars of eye stuff.

Ingredients List & Actives Profiles

You shouldn’t need a degree in chemistry to take care of your skin. But, to be clear, someone needs the degree.
