How to integrate Youth Rx into your existing skincare routine.
Kate JamesonIf you already love your SkinCeuticals antioxidant, Medik8 retinol, or Cosmedix exfoliant, we have good news for you. The Youth Rx range is designed to complement, not compete with, your existing skincare favourites. Each formula enhances the performance of other clinical actives while restoring hydration, resilience, and balance to the skin barrier.
Here’s how to blend the science of your favourite brands with the restorative ritual of Youth Rx.
For skin that’s calm, luminous, and clinically supported.
Step 1: Cleanse
If you’re using:
Incorporate Ritual Melting Balm as your first cleanse , especially if you wear sunscreen or makeup. It dissolves oil-based impurities while replenishing the barrier with sweet almond and moringa oils, squalane, and vitamin E.
Follow with your existing foaming or exfoliating cleanser to refine pores and boost glow, or swap to Ritual Cleanse for a gentler morning option when your skin feels tight or sensitive.
Dr Kate Tip:
Alternate between actives and barrier-focused cleansers to prevent over-cleansing and dryness.
Step 2: Prepare & Hydrate
If you’re using:
Incorporate Hydrating Elixir before your antioxidants and active treatment serums. This multi-molecular hydrating complex with polyglutamic acid, hyaluronic acid, and EGF peptides plumps and strengthens the barrier, allowing potent actives to absorb more evenly and reducing irritation potential.
How to layer:
- Cleanse
- Apply Hydrating Elixir (3 to 4 drops)
- Wait 30 seconds, then follow with your antioxidant, vitamin C, or brightening serum.
Step 3: Treat
If you’re using:
- Medik8 Crystal Retinal or R-Retinoate
- Cosmedix Serum 16
- Aspect Dr Exfol A Plus
Incorporate Renewal Oil Elixir as your buffer or finishing oil. Infused with bakuchiol (a plant-derived retinol analogue), CoQ10, and antioxidant-rich oils, it enhances cellular renewal while calming sensitivity often caused by prescription or retinol actives.
Dr Kate Tip:
Mix one drop of Renewal Oil Elixir into your retinol to cushion the skin and reduce flaking, or use it on alternate nights for a restorative break.
Step 4: Moisturise
If you’re using:
- SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2
- Medik8 Advanced Night Restore
- Aspect Dr Resveratrol Moisturising Cream
Incorporate Enriching Crème as your universal hydrator. Formulated with niacinamide, vitamin E, and a peptide complex (Hexapeptide-40 + EGF), it reinforces collagen production and locks in moisture. Layer over your treatment serums or Renewal Oil Elixir for a velvety, non-greasy finish.
The Youth Rx Advantage
Where high-performance actives can stress the barrier when overused, Youth Rx stabilises and strengthens it. This allows you to use your favourite cosmeceuticals with less irritation and greater efficacy.
This synergy between clinical and restorative care defines modern skincare. Results without compromise.
