About
This restorative routine helps improve the appearance and feel of dry, dehydrated skin. Infused with moisture-binding ingredients to help prevent moisture-loss, infuse skin with hydration, and deeply nourish.
Moisturizing Cleanser
Delicate skin deserves to be embraced by a silky, soft froth as the first step to any wake up or wind down routine. This gentle, non-drying cleanser washes away makeup and impurities and dissolves excess oil without stripping skin of moisture.
Ceramide Moisturizer
This calming cream acts as an antidote to stressed skin, whether it’s had too much fun in the sun or is preparing to battle harsh winter winds. Enhanced with Ceramides to help replenish and support the skin’s natural protective barrier, this moisturizer helps restore balance to the skin by locking in moisture and shielding skin from further environmental damage.
Restorative Vitamin C Serum
Dial up your skin’s defense and boost brightness in one shot with this featherweight serum bursting with 30% Vitamin C. Our Restorative Vitamin C Serum is formulated with ethyl ascorbic acid, a form of Vitamin C specially selected because it is highly stable.
Key Ingredients
AHA (Moisturizing Cleanser)
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) provide an exfoliating effect when used in skin care products. [1] This helps to remove dead skin cells that remain on the skin’s surface giving it a dull appearance. This exfoliation in turn stimulates cell turnover resulting in a more polished, smoother, translucent surface. [2]
HA (Moisturizing Cleanser)
Hyaluronic acid can be used in skin care to replenish lost moisture due to environmental factors and aging. When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid can reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis. [3,4,5]
Gluten free. Cruelty free. Vegan. Oil free. Free from sulfates, parabens, phalates, synthetic dyes. Contains essential oils.
Ceramides
Ceramides, a type of lipid, are one of the primary components in the skin’s protective lipid matrix.
Ceramides benefit the skin in two specific ways; by keeping skin adequately moisturized, and by strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. [4] Ceramides can also help with dry skin and acne by bolstering the skin’s natural barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss. [5]
Gluten free. Cruelty free. Vegan. Oil based. Free from sulfates, parabens, phalates, synthetic dyes and from listed cosmetic allergens. Fragrance Free.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a co-enzyme that supports healthy functions in the body and the skin such as collagen synthesis and assisting in antioxidant protection against-UV induced photo damage. [1,2]
Vitamin C can benefit a variety of skin types and due to its potential anti-inflammatory effect, Vitamin C may also help in treating inflammatory skin conditions like acne and and rosacea. It can promote the skin’s healing process and prevent post-inflammatory discoloration. [6,7] Vitamin C may also help lock-in hydration by supporting the skin’s ability to protect itself from water loss. [8,9]

I started seeing these products on Instagram and I have heard so many great things about them so I decided to give them a try myself and I am so happy I did. The reviews are right, these products have made my skin feel super soft, bright and very hydrated. My foundation goes on so much easier than it did before, its pretty amazing.

I have super sensitive skin and I have spent so much money trying other brands/products and I have never found anything that works as good as this brand. The products leave my skin feeling soft, hydrated and so refreshed and my friends have told me that my skin is glowing. :). Skin Chemistry saved my skin!

The regimen finder was spot on, it recommended the Restorative Routine for my concerns and I have to say these products are little miracles in a bottle. My skin looks and feels better, it’s softer, brighter and those pesky little fine lines are starting to go away.

I am 39 years old and for most of my adult life I always had dry skin. I have spent a fortune trying to find the right products for my skin and nothing seemed to work, it was very frustrating. Then I found Skin Chemistry and I started using their Restorative Routine and I am in love with these products. My dry skin is gone, my face is so soft and hydrated. These products are amazing and the price points are even better, under $60 for all 3 products!!

I have always had dry flaky skin and I have tried so many different brands/products and nothing seemed to work. I started using the Restorative Routine about a month ago and I am already noticing a huge difference in the texture of my skin. The dry flaky patches are gone and my skin is softer and brighter. I will never stop using this routine! I am so happy I found this brand!

My name is Nancy and I am 41 years old. I have always struggled with dry skin and have tried every cream, serum, and moisturizer under the sun . I have been using this routine for 6 weeks now, and this is the best my skin has looked. My skin is glowing and healthier than ever before. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I will continue this routine indefinitely, and most likely try some of the other add ons.
