Jess Manuel's Lineup

What’s included

  • Cleanse — gentle daily foaming wash to start the morning with a clean canvas
  • Active Cleanse — salicylic and glycolic evening cleanse to remove the day
  • Balancing Toner — niacinamide, glycolic and salicylic to prep skin before your treatment steps
  • Advanced X6 Pads — one morning swipe of AHA, BHA, TCA and tranexamic acid to resurface and brighten
  • The One Serum — 24K gold and snail mucin growth factor, used morning and night
  • C Glow 20% Vitamin C E + Ferulic Acid — daytime antioxidant defense for brighter, more even-looking tone
  • Dew Moisturizer, 1 oz — hyaluronic and coconut milk hydration to finish, morning and night
  • Your choice of retinol — included, not an upgrade — choose below

Choose your retinol

  • Perfect Change Serum 1% Retinol + TCA — Jess’s choice when she is focused on pigment and uneven tone
  • SKIN CEO 0.5% — new to retinol, or skin that has struggled to tolerate one before
  • SKIN CEO 1% — experienced with retinol and looking for maximum results

Retinol is NOT recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential with this routine and is not included in the lineup.

Jess’s lineup is Jess’s lineup. It is a helpful example of what a pigment-focused routine can look like, not a prescription for every skin.

Purchased as a lineup, you save 15% versus buying each product separately.

Dr Zoe Notes

Dr. Zoe's Notes on How to Use

Morning

  • Start with Cleanse to remove oil, sweat and overnight buildup without stripping the skin.
  • On dry skin, use a single Advanced X6 pad to wipe the entire face, applying the product evenly. Give the pad a squeeze if it is overly soaked. AX6 should be used ONCE per day only.
  • Apply a thin layer of The One Serum. It can be used twice a day to provide deep hydration along with anti-inflammatory and gentle resurfacing benefits.
  • Follow with C Glow for daytime antioxidant defense, then finish with Dew Moisturizer.
  • Always finish with a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. This is not optional with a pigment-focused routine.

Evening

  • Wash with Active Cleanse, then sweep on Balancing Toner to prep the skin.
  • Apply a thin layer of The One Serum before your retinol. It cushions the retinol and helps the skin stay comfortable.
  • Perfect Change Serum is a potent retinol blend for nighttime use. After The One Serum, follow with 2 pumps. Please read my notes here in their entirety to ensure you are using this product properly.
  • SKIN CEO is an all-trans retinol serum supercharged with plant-derived exosomes. After The One Serum, follow with 2-3 drops.
  • Any retinol can make the skin a little dry, flaky, pink or sensitive when it is first introduced, sometimes for up to 4 weeks. Consistent use allows your skin to adjust and move through this phase.
  • Finish with Dew Moisturizer to replenish hydration and support the barrier overnight.

A note on rotating retinols

Both Perfect Change Serum and SKIN CEO have had a place in Jess’s routine over the years. Rather than alternating them night to night, she uses one formula consistently until the bottle is finished, then rotates in the other.
