Rooted in biomimetic science, this carefully crafted combination is particularly suited for sensitive, atopic, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin, yet provides an essential foundation for all skin types. By working in harmony with the microbiome, it helps maintain optimal skin health while preparing it for the subsequent stages of The Skin Method.
What's Included:
The Skin Biotic (Prebiotic, Probiotics, Bioconverted retinol) – A next-generation nutraceutical that optimises gut microbiota, reducing inflammation and reinforcing skin resilience at its source.
The Gentle Cleanser (3D hyaluronans, Postbiotic ectoin, Bioactive water) – A microbiome-friendly formula that purifies while preserving the skin barrier, ensuring skin remains receptive to active ingredients without disruption.
Whether as a targeted regimen for delicate skin or a preparatory step towards The Skin Method, The Essential Care Duo is the ideal first step towards a healthier, more balanced complexion, ensuring skin is fortified, soothed, and primed for long-term transformation.
The Essential Care Duo is designed for all skin types—including atopic and sensitive skin—and all genders.
