The beauty world has increasingly embraced a natural-looking, glass-skin aesthetic that emphasizes luminous bare skin over heavy foundation or concealer. But while this filter-free skin appearance looks effortless, it requires a thoughtful three-step skincare routine to achieve and maintain.
Applying the right serums at the right times can promote cellular renewal, hydration, and targeted exfoliation, leaving you with glowy, clearer-looking skin. And while in-office clinic treatments offer deep exfoliation and renewal, at-home, clinic-inspired skincare does so without the extensive peeling and downtime.
Amy Peterson's mandelic acid skincare was designed around the philosophy of creating treatment-strength, zero-recovery cosmetic formulas that deliver visible results. Learn how her three-step skincare routine promotes glassy, glowy skin texture and appearance.
Step 1: Multi-Depth Resurfacing With The Laser Serum
The first step in your evening skincare routine should be an exfoliating serum that unclogs pores and promotes better product absorption. The Laser Serum Triple Acid Concentrate gently exfoliates dead skin cells while simultaneously boosting hydration. It combines the power of three acids:
- Lactic acid, which dissolves dull, dead skin cells while locking in hydration
- Glycolic acid, which smooths texture and promotes a more even skin tone
- Mandelic acid, which refines pores and brightens the skin without irritation
Together, these ingredients target multiple layers of the skin anatomy for effective exfoliation.
The Laser Serum also leverages soothing biofermentation technology to strengthen the skin barrier. Ingredients like biofermented yeast, prickly pear cactus, and helichrysum soothe and calm irritation while replenishing and supporting the skin barrier.
When adding this serum to your routine, start by applying two pumps before bed once or twice a week. Gradually build up to nightly use as your skin tolerance increases.
Step 2: Cushion and Rebuild With Soft Landing Moisturizer
A strong moisturizer is an essential second step in your filter-free skin routine. The Soft Landing Smoothing Peptide Moisturizer is a multi-peptide cream moisturizer that offers benefits beyond hydration.
Soft Landing combines the power of four clinically proven peptide classes to rebuild the skin's support system from within. Dual-weight hyaluronic acid infuses multi-layer hydration, while bakuchiol and resveratrol refine texture and defend against oxidative stress. The result is smooth, resilient skin with a luminous glow.
This formula was awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and has been identified as safe and suitable for those with eczema and sensitive skin. Its blend of ingredients calms visible redness and soothes minor inflammation common after acid exfoliation.
Step 3: Daily Morning SPF Defense
The last step in your three-step skincare routine extends into the morning. When using exfoliants like The Laser Serum, it's more important than ever to protect your skin against UV rays. Chemical exfoliation removes the outer dead skin cells, increasing sun sensitivity.
Apply broad-spectrum sun protection in the morning, and reapply every two hours when exposed to direct sunlight. Sunscreen should always be the last step in your morning skincare routine to create an even barrier on your skin.
For even more noticeable results, a morning application of The Preservationist Vitamin C Cream Serum paired with daily SPF seals in antioxidant protection and maintains an all-day glow.
