The Evening Anti-Ageing Routine

The evening routine is where the heavy lifting happens. Skin repairs and regenerates overnight. This is when retinol works, when peptides signal collagen, when the skin barrier rebuilds. Here’s the PARIDA evening routine in full.

The 7 steps

Step 1 — First cleanse (60 seconds)

Cleansing Oil on dry skin. Massage to dissolve makeup, SPF, and the day’s pollution. Add water to emulsify, then rinse.

Step 2 — Second cleanse (60 seconds)

Cleansing Lotion or Cleansing Wash. The second cleanse removes residual oil and lifts impurities the first cleanse loosened.

Step 3 — Tone (20 seconds)

Toner on a cotton pad. Restores pH, prepares skin for actives.

Step 4 — Mist (10 seconds)

Hydrating Mist. Damp skin maximises ingredient absorption.

Step 5 — Active serum (30 seconds)

Retinol Night Serum. Start 2 nights per week and build to nightly over 4–8 weeks.

Step 6 — Eye serum (20 seconds)

Retinol Eye & Lip Serum. A gentler retinoid for the delicate eye and lip area.

Step 7 — Night cream (30 seconds)

Night Cream on face. Neck Cream on neck and decolletage.

The retinol introduction schedule

On non-retinol nights, swap in Omega Serum instead.
