why we love this trio
“All our root4 products were inspired by real-life challenges I faced in-practice and finding a retinoid that actually performed and that was tolerated by even my patients with the most sensitive, rosacea-prone skin together with developing an antioxidant serum which also targeted wrinkles, acne and pigmentation were top of my list. These can be added to the most basic of regimens to level them up into dermatologist-approved, results-driven ‘blue-chip’ skincare.”
How to Use
Complete Serum: Apply one pump of the antioxidant and peptide-rich Complete Serum morning and night to clean, still damp skin on the face, neck and décolletage. Wait thirty seconds for the serum to be absorbed before applying your moisturiser. Pay particular attention to those areas of the face developing fine lines and wrinkles. This is a hyaluronic acid-containing product which draws water into the skin so always seal off with a moisturising cream.
NovA Oil: The first step in our Retinoid Star System. Apply one pump at night as the final step of your regimen. Rub your palms together to activate the botanical super-ingredients then gently press your warmed hands over the face, neck and décolletage. Using the heels of your hands, gently massage upwards to give a mini facial lymphatic drainage. Since this facial oil is 100% active, advanced strength Vitamin A, it is recommended that you phase it into your regimen slowly. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks then alternate nights for a further 2 weeks then nightly. The NovA Oil turbocharges your night-time moisturizer but works beautifully as a stand-alone treatment too.
Integrative Serum: This nutrient-dense, luxurious facial oil rich in antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and omegas is 100% active plant-based superfood for your skin. Use half a dropper morning and/or night. The Integrative Serum can be used on its own to replace your daily moisturizer or can be used following the Face Crème Originale for added hydration particularly during the winter months. Rub your palms together to activate the botanical super-ingredients and take a moment to create a scent-tent with your palms. Cup your hands over your face and allow yourself to inhale the intoxicating scent deeply for 3-5 full breaths. Gently press your warmed hands over the face, neck and décolletage until the oil has been entirely absorbed. Follow with sunscreen in the morning.
