LEVEL II is your targeted turnover training, designed to further enhance activated cell renewal and promote long-term collagen production. Only those who prepare their skin with LEVEL I (Warm-Up) can unlock LEVEL II's full potential. Powered by retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol, it refines regeneration for smoother, stronger, more radiant skin. Swiss Made and science-driven.

Impact

Collagen boost:
Retinol, retinal and bakuchiol stimulate collagen and support firmer skin.

Cell turnover:
Accelerates renewal; mild dryness or flaking might occur and are normal, like post-workout soreness.

Skin clarity:
Refines pores, reduces redness, spots, and breakouts.

Hero Ingredients

With glycolic acid, lactic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), UVA/UVB filters, antioxidants, niacinamide, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid, retinol and retinal, the LEVEL II boosts cell renewal, supports collagen production, protects against environmental stressors, and leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and more resilient. The products are vegan and coral-friendly.

How to use

After completing your LEVEL I (Warm-Up) routine with the Overnight Smoother, start integrating LEVEL II: Turnover Optimizer gradually just in the evening.

1. Start Phase:
Replace the Overnight Smoother once a week (e.g., Monday) with the Turnover Optimizer.

2. Build Phase:
After 2 weeks, use it twice a week (e.g., Monday & Friday).

3. Max Phase:
Increase up to 3 times a week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday & Friday). → On all other days, continue with the Overnight Smoother (AHA) as part of LEVEL I.

Always remember:

The 'driving' effect of retinol, that deeper push for your skin, usually becomes noticeable about 4 days later. So if you apply it on Monday, you’ll feel it by Friday. That’s your skin training in action.

Important:
Always follow with the Day Shield SPF 30 in the morning. If dryness or redness occurs, reduce frequency or pause. Never combine Turnover Optimizer and Overnight Smoother on the same night. Never use it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid)

Also known as fruitacids (glycolic acid, lactic acid) are great for smoothing out the skin’s surface and giving a healthy glow (anti-aging, anti-acne).

Glycolic acid and ascorbic acid remove dead skin cells, which promotes the production of new ones for a radiant, healthy complexion.

BHA (Beta hydroxy acid)

Best friend of AHA – it unclogs pores, reduces pimples and enhances skin texture by removing dead skin cells and controlling oil production.

UV filters

UVA and UVB (SPF 30) filters protect your skin against sun damage and help prevent premature skin aging.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect your skin against oxidative stress and premature skin aging.

Niacinamide

Improves skin texture, reduces inflammation and enhances the skin barrier by boosting moisture retention and regulating oil production.

Retinol and Retinal

As part of the Vitamin A family, retinol and retinal were originally used in acne treatment. Due to their collagen-boosting and cell turnover-promoting properties, they have since gained significant importance in anti-aging skincare.

Bakuchiol

Similar to retinol, bakuchiol promotes collagen production and cell turnover, but as a plant extract it is not part of the vitamin A family.

Does the Smoothing Cleanser also remove makeup?

While the Smoothing Cleanser effectively cleanses your skin, it is important to note that it is not intended to replace a makeup remover. If you've been wearing makeup throughout the day, it's essential to use a dedicated makeup remover before you begin with your skincare routine and apply our Smoothing Cleanser. This ensures thorough removal of makeup residue and other impurities, allowing your skin to be completely free from any dirt or buildup.

Why does my skin suddenly break out after using the Smoothing Cleanser?

It's quite common to experience this phenomenon, so there's no need to be alarmed. When you begin your skincare journey with our Smoothing Cleanser, your skin will be exposed to active ingredients that stimulate skin cell turnover. It can happen that you experience a temporary breakout, as skin cell turnover accelerates and impurities come to the surface. Typically, after about two weeks (varying from person to person), these initial breakouts should subside, and you'll begin to notice positive changes in your skin's appearance.

Can I use the Smoothing Cleanser when I use Retinol?

Yes, it's safe to use the Smoothing Cleanser while using Retinol. The Smoothing Cleanser is the first step of your routine to cleanse the face, while Retinol is considered a TREAT step product to be applied in second stage.

I use retinol in my existing routine, can I use the Overnight Smoother as well?

Yes, it's safe to use the Overnight Smoother while using Retinol. However, it's important to avoid using them simultaneously. Instead, you can alternate between using the Overnight Smoother one day and Retinol the next. This regimen ensures safety and effectiveness.

Can I use the Overnight Smoother with dry skin?

Yes, the Overnight Smoother can be applied to dry skin. The Overnight Smoother boosts cell turnover, which aids to gently remove dead skin cells (dry skin), leaving you with more vivid skin. However, if your skin feels excessively dry, you can use the Biome Barrier to help relieve this sensation.

Is the Overnight Smoother safe to use during pregnancy?

We generally advise our clients not to use any products containing active ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since the Smoothing Cleanser contains active ingredients such as AHA and BHA, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Always consult your medical professional if you have any further questions.

Can I use retinol all year round?

Retinoids like retinol and retinal can be used throughout the year – what’s essential is consistent sun protection in the morning. Day Shield SPF 30 protects the newly formed skin cells and helps prevent pigmentation issues.

What happens if I use the Retinol too often?

Overuse can lead to skin becoming sensitive, red, or dry. That’s why the guideline is: 1–3 times per week, never on consecutive nights, always followed by SPF the next morning. Use Biome Barrier if your skin needs calming.

How can I avoid irritation from retinol?

Start with once a week and gradually increase to up to three times a week. Never use retinoids on the same night as AHAs (e.g. Overnight Smoother). If redness or dryness occurs, take a short break or apply a light moisturizer afterwards.

Is the Day Shield suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin?

Sure, it is a super lightweight gel. It is perfectly suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Does the Day Shield contain antioxidants?

Yes, the Day Shield contains antioxidants protecting your skin from free radicals, helping to prevent and minimize damage caused by oxidation, thus providing additional protection for your skin.

Why does the Day Shield only use SPF 30 and not SPF 50? And why does the Day Shield also block UVA?

The Day Shield combines SPF 30 (UVB) and UVA protection to effectively block both UVA and UVB rays. Studies are shown that SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of these rays, while SPF 60 offers slightly higher protection, blocking around 98% of rays, the difference in efficiency is marginal. By shielding against both UVA and UVB rays, the Day Shield not only protects against sunburn but also helps prevent premature aging (caused by UVA rays).
