Level II: Level-up

Key Benefits

• Level II of the Dr. Liv Kraemer.

• Powered by retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol.

• Supports collagen and skin renewal.

• Refines pores and improves clarity.

Level II: Level-Up is the next phase of the Dr. Liv Kraemer Method. Designed as targeted “turnover training,” it builds on the foundation created by Level I: Warm-Up. This phase introduces advanced vitamin A derivatives — retinol and retinal — alongside bakuchiol to further support skin renewal and improve the look of firmness, texture, and radiance. Skin may experience mild dryness or flaking during adjustment, which can be a normal response as renewal accelerates.

Swiss Made and science-driven, Level II focuses on strengthening skin structure, refining clarity, and supporting long-term collagen activity for a smoother, more resilient appearance.

What’s Included:

Smoothing Cleanser (200ml)
A gentle AHA/BHA foaming cleanser formulated with glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. It removes impurities, excess oil, and surface buildup while helping refine the appearance of pores. Skin feels clean and visibly refreshed.

Day Shield (50ml)
A lightweight gel-cream moisturiser with UVA and UVB filters for daily protection. Formulated with niacinamide, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, it hydrates while helping defend against environmental stressors such as sun exposure and pollution. Suitable for all skin types and tones.

Overnight Smoother (30ml)
An AHA (glycolic acid) overnight serum in a hydrating hyaluronic acid base. It gently exfoliates the skin surface, helping improve the look of texture and clarity while supporting smoother-looking skin over time.

Turnover Optimizer (30ml)
The core of Level II. Formulated with retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol, this treatment supports enhanced cell renewal and collagen activity for firmer-looking, more refined skin. Ceramides, niacinamide, vitamin E, and skin-identical squalane help maintain barrier comfort, while a hyaluronic acid base keeps the texture lightweight and well tolerated. Suitable for all skin types, ages, and genders.

Dr. Liv Kraemer Skincare follows a structured, clinical approach that trains the skin through three clearly defined levels. LEVEL I acts as the foundation, focusing on gentle exfoliation, barrier support, and daily protection to restart cell turnover and prepare the skin for actives. LEVEL II builds on this base by introducing retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol in a controlled way to push cell renewal, strengthen collagen production, and address early to visible signs of ageing. LEVEL III delivers targeted personalisation, addressing specific concerns such as blemishes or redness through advanced topical formulas and internal support that reflect the skin–gut connection. Skin ageing slows cell turnover, weakens the skin barrier, and reduces its ability to recover from daily stress. Without a structured approach, active ingredients often overwhelm the skin or deliver inconsistent results. Progressing through these levels in the correct order allows the skin to adapt, strengthen, and respond more effectively over time, leading to improved texture, better tolerance, and healthier-looking skin in the long run.

Founded by dermatologist Dr. Liv Kraemer, this Swiss-made skincare line stems from over two decades of clinical experience in dermatology, stem cell research, and skin longevity. Her science-backed 3-Level Skin Longevity Method focuses on skin training, not perfection—supporting cell renewal, collagen production, and UV protection from the inside out. Each formula is dermatologist-developed, clean, and designed to work with your biology using key actives like niacinamide and prebiotics. Dr. Liv Skincare puts you back in control of your skin health—simplifying routines and helping you build stronger, clearer skin that lasts.

After completing your LEVEL I (Warm-Up) routine with the Overnight Smoother, start integrating LEVEL II: Turnover Optimizer gradually just in the evening.

1. Start Phase:
Replace the Overnight Smoother once a week (e.g., Monday) with the Turnover Optimizer.

2. Build Phase:
After 2 weeks, use it twice a week (e.g., Monday & Friday).

3. Max Phase:
Increase up to 3 times a week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday & Friday). → On all other days, continue with the Overnight Smoother (AHA) as part of LEVEL I.

Always remember:
The 'driving' effect of retinol, that deeper push for your skin, usually becomes noticeable about 4 days later. So if you apply it on Monday, you’ll feel it by Friday. That’s your skin training in action.

Important:
Always follow with the Day Shield SPF 30 in the morning. If dryness or redness occurs, reduce frequency or pause. Never combine Turnover Optimizer and Overnight Smoother on the same night. Never use it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
