A Simple Morning and Evening Routine
This is a routine framework, not a requirement to use a serum twice a day. Keep to the introduction frequency for the one formula you choose.
Morning
- Cleanse and prepare clean, dry skin.
- If your selected serum is appropriate for this time and scheduled for today, apply the amount in its product directions.
- Follow with a moisturizer.
- Use daytime sunscreen. If using RNT in your routine, its directions specify broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
VNC15 directions allow morning or evening use. TNA5 starts once daily, while ANC5, ANC10, and NTZ20 have gradual-start instructions. Morning use is not a reason to increase their frequency. RNT is not a morning serum.
Evening
- Cleanse and prepare clean, dry skin.
- Use your selected serum only on its planned use days; do not automatically repeat a once-daily application.
- Follow with a moisturizer.
If choosing RNT, use it in the evening only and start 2–3 nights per week. Do not use it during pregnancy or nursing, or while planning pregnancy. VNC15 can instead be scheduled in the evening according to its directions.
Keep non-serum days simple
You do not need a different active serum for every time of day. While introducing one formula, keep other products familiar, maintain daytime sunscreen, and do not fill every gap with another active.
Keep skin comfort first
Try it on a small area of skin before first use. Introduce one new serum at a time and keep the rest of your routine simple. Apply to clean, dry skin, then follow with a moisturizer. Use sunscreen during the daytime. Avoid contact with eyes. If your skin feels uncomfortable, stop using it. Do not use an active serum on irritated or compromised skin.
