The Essentials
 
Healthy, glowing skin only requires a simple, effective routine.  Your Rationale Essentials Program consists of the following key products: Preparatory Cleanser, Skin Refining Serum, Niacinamide Serum, Rejuvenating Serum and Retinaldehyde Serum.  Use daily to help gently cleanse, protect, and repair your skin.
 
The Steps to Healthier Looking Skin 
Step 1:
Preparatory Cleanser
When:  Morning and Night         
 
Why:   
  • Refreshes skin in the morning and removes debris and makeup at night
  • Prepares skin to receive the active ingredients that follow
  • The solvent formula doesn’t dry skin like common foaming cleansers
  •  Ideal for acne prone skin
How:               
Wet face with warm water.  Lather cleanser between hands and gently massage over face and neck.  Rinse with warm water.  Pat dry.
 
Step 2:
Niacinamide Serum
When: Morning only 
 
Why:
  • Evens out skin tone (fades pigmentation) and helps to protect the skin’s immune system
  • Helps improve the signs of sun damage and aging such as wrinkles, dryness and roughness
  • Ideal treatment for hyper pigmentation
  • Regulates sebum (oil) production  
How:
Apply a few drops to face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands.
 
Step 3:
Rejuvenating Serum
When:  Morning only
 
Why:   
  • Increases collagen production and helps protect against free radical  damage from the sun
  • Helps fade pigmentation and unclog pores
  • Promotes the skins immunity
  • Aids skin moisture retention and promotes softer textured skin
How:
Apply sparingly in the morning with fingertips.  Apply a second layer under eye area.
 
Step 4:
Face: Sunscreen and Moisturiser
(SPF 30+ Nanonised Zinc) 
When: Morning Only 
 
Why:
  • Broad spectrum sun protection using only natural Zinc Oxide (ideal for sensitive skin)
  • Combined daily moisturiser and sunscreen (perfect for under makeup)
How:
Rub a small amount on fingertips, and apply to face, neck and décolletage.
 
 
Step 5:
Retinaldehyde Serum
When: Night only (following Preparatory Cleanser) 
 
Why:
  • Increases skin firmness and repairs damaged cells
  • Helps trigger healthy cell production
  • Repairs DNA strand breakage
  • Assists treatment of rosacea and facial capillaries
How:
Apply a few drops to fingertips and apply to face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands.
 
 
Step 6:
Skin Refining Serum
When: Night only (following Retinaldehyde Serum) 
 
Why:
  • Chemical exfoliants, (AHA’s and BHA’s) gently remove outermost layers of skin
  • Unclogs pores and prevents breakouts
  • Provides visible smoother skin
  • Restores skin renewal cycles, promoting younger looking, more radiant skin
  • Aids barrier repair and improves sensitivity over time.
How:
Apply a few drops to fingertips and apply to entire face and neck.  Do not wash off.
