Active Charcoal Deep Pore Cleanser & MaskAzulen Day CreamSkin Refining Concentrate

Suzie’s starting point: Use a light touch on oily areas and give drier areas the moisture they need. Choose one cleanser per wash. These products are options; you do not need every item.

A little structure. Less guesswork.

✧ Weekly care

  • Choose one mask: Volcanic Mud Masque. Follow its own leave-on time and rinse instructions below.
  • Exfoliation is optional: Herbal Peeling Gel. Start less often than the maximum label frequency; keep separate from retinol and other exfoliating treatments.
  • Use weekly products on separate sessions while introducing them. Follow the current product label and reduce use if skin feels dry.

This is a conservative introductory routine, not a requirement to use every product at its maximum label frequency. Print this page from your browser for a compact use guide.
