How to Use and Routine

What is the recommended Kind Science routine?

The complete routine is built around six simple steps, used morning and evening unless noted.

  • Step 1: Gentle Cleanser
  • Step 2: Micro Exfoliant+ (two or three times a week in the evening, not daily)
  • Step 3: Firming Serum
  • Step 4: Eye Cream
  • Step 5: Hydration Cream
  • Step 6: Neck Treatment
  • Optional: Radiance Oil, as the last step in the evening.

What is the recommended morning routine?

  • Cleanse with Gentle Cleanser
  • Apply Firming Serum
  • Apply Eye Cream
  • Follow with Hydration Cream
  • Apply Neck Treatment
  • Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF

What is the recommended evening routine?

  • Cleanse with Gentle Cleanser
  • Two or three times a week, apply Micro Exfoliant+
  • Apply Firming Serum
  • Apply Eye Cream
  • Follow with Hydration Cream
  • Apply Neck Treatment
  • Finish with a few drops of Radiance Oil

In what order should I apply the products?

The general rule is thinnest to thickest. Cleanse first, then exfoliate if that step is in your routine, then apply serum, eye cream and moisturiser. Oil always goes last.

How often should I use the Micro Exfoliant+?

Two or three times a week in the evening is ideal for most skin types. If your skin is very sensitive, start with once a week and build up gradually.

Can I use the Firming Serum every day?

Yes. The Firming Serum is designed for daily use, morning and evening. Apply to clean skin before your moisturiser.

Can I layer Kind Science with other skincare brands?

Yes. Kind Science is formulated to layer well with most other skincare. We recommend caution when combining our Micro Exfoliant+ with strong actives such as prescription retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid on the same night, to avoid irritation.

Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Sensitive skin is at the heart of Kind Science. Our formulas are fragrance free, dye free and use gentle, skin-kind actives. We still recommend a patch test if you have known sensitivities.

Are the products safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

We always recommend speaking to your doctor or midwife before introducing any new skincare products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

How should I store my products?

Store Kind Science products at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. There is no need to refrigerate. Keep lids and pumps tightly closed to preserve freshness.
