How to Layer Your AURÉA PARIS Routine

Vitamin C, moisturizer, retinal—three products, one simple routine.

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. Knowing when and how to use each product can help you build a routine that’s easy to follow while getting the most from your AURÉA PARIS collection.

Our three-product routine separates Vitamin C and Retinal between morning and evening, with Double Repair Moisturizer supporting hydration in both.

Your Morning Routine

Step 1 — Cleanse

Begin with clean, dry skin. Use a gentle cleanser that works well for your skin type and gently pat your face dry.

Step 2 — AURÉA PARIS 12% Vitamin C Serum

Apply a small amount of Vitamin C Serum evenly across the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.

Our formula combines 12% L-Ascorbic Acid with Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Salicylic Acid.

Allow the serum to absorb before moving to the next step.

Step 3 — Double Repair Facial Moisturizer

Follow with AURÉA PARIS Double Repair Facial Moisturizer.

Its formula combines Ceramides NP, AP & EOP, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Peptides, Squalane, Panthenol, and Allantoin to provide hydration and support the skin barrier.

Step 4 — Sunscreen

Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Vitamin C complements your daytime routine, but it does not replace sunscreen.

Your Morning Routine: Cleanse → Vitamin C → Moisturizer → SPF

Your Evening Routine

Nighttime is when we introduce Retinal.

Step 1 — Cleanse

Remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities with a gentle cleanser. Pat the skin dry before applying your treatment.

Step 2 — AURÉA PARIS 0.1% Retinal Treatment

Apply a small amount evenly to clean, dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area.

Our nighttime treatment combines 0.1% Retinal (Retinaldehyde) with Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Ceramides, and Squalane.

If you’re new to retinal, introduce it gradually. Starting 2–3 nights per week allows you to see how your skin responds before increasing frequency.

Step 3 — Double Repair Facial Moisturizer

Finish with Double Repair Facial Moisturizer to hydrate and support the skin barrier.

Your Evening Routine: Cleanse → Retinal → Moisturizer

Should You Use Vitamin C and Retinal Together?

Both can be part of the same skincare routine, but you don’t need to layer them at the same time.

We’ve made the AURÉA routine easy: Vitamin C in the morning. Retinal at night.

Separating them also makes the routine simpler for people who are just beginning to use active skincare ingredients.

What If You Have Sensitive Skin?

Introduce new active products one at a time so you can understand how your skin responds.

Patch testing before first use is also a good idea.

If you experience persistent burning, significant redness, swelling, or irritation, discontinue use.

Because our Vitamin C Serum contains 12% L-Ascorbic Acid and 1% Salicylic Acid, and our Retinal Treatment contains 0.1% Retinal, there’s no need to rush into daily use if your skin needs more time to adjust.

Three Products. Two Simple Rituals.

You don’t need a shelf full of products to create a thoughtful skincare routine.

AM: 12% Vitamin C Serum → Double Repair Facial Moisturizer → SPF

PM: 0.1% Retinal Treatment → Double Repair Facial Moisturizer

Consistency, patience, and listening to your skin matter more than making your routine complicated.
