Promotions are a smart way to shop trusted skincare, but the product still needs to suit your skin. Look beyond the saving and check the formula, routine step, expiry date and concern match. A discounted active is only worthwhile if you can use it safely and consistently.
Brand science
Key Technology
Promotional products can include brightening complexes, exfoliating acids, baby moisturisers, hydrating formulas or daily SPF. Because offers change, focus on the product's role rather than the discount. Is it a basic, a treatment, a cleanser or a support product? That answer should guide the purchase.
Shopping guide
How to Choose
Choose promotions the same way you would choose full-price skincare. Prioritise routine gaps first, then concern-led treatments. Avoid buying a strong retinoid, acid or brightening product just because it is on special. If your skin is sensitive, check whether the product is gentle enough before adding it.

Promotions FAQs
Common questions about Promotions products and routines.
Should I buy a promotion if the product is not already in my routine plan?
Only if it fits a real skin need. A discounted product is not a saving if it adds unnecessary irritation or sits unused. Check whether it is a cleanser, moisturiser, SPF or active treatment, then compare that to your routine gap. Be most cautious with retinoids, acids and pigment products.
How do I choose between two promotional skincare products?
Choose the product with the clearest role in your routine. A good daily SPF or moisturiser may be more useful than a strong treatment you are not ready for. If both products are active treatments, pick the one that matches your main concern and avoid introducing both at the same time.
Can promotional sets or offers be used by sensitive skin?
Sometimes, but sensitive skin should not follow a bundle blindly. Check every product in the offer and remove steps that are too strong or duplicated. A set with cleanser, moisturiser and SPF is usually easier to tolerate than a set with multiple acids or retinoids. Start slowly and stop if irritation develops.

This list now pulls from the product metafield values already in use.
Skin profile
Skin sensitivity
We'll match products suitable for your sensitivity level or a gentler category.
Routine preference
Pick AM + PM to build a full-day routine (we'll include AM-only and PM-only products too).
Include makeup in your routine?
If yes, we’ll add selected makeup picks, including complexion, lip, eye and setting options.
Routine budget
We'll prioritise strong matches close to your budget, but product suitability comes first. If needed, you can remove an optional step rather than receive a weaker match.
Fitzpatrick type
This helps with pigmentation and post-treatment risk.

⚕
Pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing an autoimmune condition?
Please check with your doctor before starting a new routine. Some ingredients — especially retinoids and hydroquinone, and high-strength salicylic acid — may not be suitable in pregnancy or while nursing. Because safety data is limited and autoimmune conditions vary widely, we can’t give a reliable generic recommendation here. Your gynaecologist or specialist is best placed to advise.
Topical steroid use
Select yes only if you are currently using a topical steroid on your face or the same area, for example hydrocortisone, betamethasone, mometasone or clobetasol. We’ll avoid products that may overlap with or irritate that treated skin.
Used isotretinoin / Accutane in the last 12 months?
Select yes if you have taken Roaccutane, Accutane, Oratane or oral isotretinoin tablets in the last 12 months. We’ll avoid stronger actives that may irritate recently sensitised skin.
Aesthetic treatments
Select peels, laser/IPL or microneedling only if you do them regularly, are in an active treatment plan, or want a gentler routine around treatment periods. For a once-off treatment, you can leave this blank and follow your practitioner’s aftercare advice.

Important: your routine includes a retinoid — please read before starting
Apply at night only, and titrate gradually — begin twice weekly for two weeks, progress to alternate nights, then to nightly use as tolerated.
Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential each morning. Retinoids increase photosensitivity; unprotected sun exposure can worsen pigmentation and irritation.
Do not layer with other actives on the same night — avoid AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and vitamin C to reduce the risk of barrier disruption.
Contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and while taking oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane).
If you are uncertain whether a retinoid is appropriate for you, please consult your clinician or speak to one of our aestheticians on WhatsApp before starting.
