Turnover Optimizer

Stimulates collagen production:
Retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness.

Promotes cell turnover:
Retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol work similarly to, and in combination with, fruit acids. They stimulate cell production and thereby boost cell turnover. However, retinol, retinal and bakuchiol are much more potent than fruit acids, which is why they can lead to dryness, redness, or peeling 4-5 days after the first application. These reactions are completely normal in the beginning, similar to the muscle soreness you feel after exercise.

Minimizes skin concerns:
Like the Overnight Smoother (AHA), the Turnover Optimizer addresses various skin concerns by boosting cell turnover. It helps improve rough, dry, and large-pored skin, as well as redness, dark spots, and pimples, so you may not even need to target them individually.

A unique combination of retinol and retinal — the gold-standard vitamin A derivatives — with bakuchiol, a gentle plant-based alternative, further boosts cell turnover, supports collagen production, and enhances your Level 1 results. Ceramides, niacinamide, vitamin E, and skin-identical squalane strengthen the skin barrier and provide lasting comfort, while a hyaluronic acid base ensures a lightweight, well-tolerated formula suitable for all skin types.

1. Cleanse your faceIn the evening, cleanse your face with the Smoothing Cleanser, just as you would in your Level 1 routine.

2. Apply turnover optimizerDispense 1 to 2 drops of the Turnover Optimizer to the back of your hand and apply it to areas where you want to see the most results first (for example, on blemishes or under your cheekbones to boost collagen production). From there, distribute the remaining product across your face. The Turnover Optimizer can be used on the area under the eyes, but be sure to avoid the eyes, eyelids, and lips. After applying the Turnover Optimizer, refrain from using other creams to prevent “smearing” onto these sensitive areas.

3. The next morning - don’t forget your sunscreen!Just like with fruit acids, it’s essential to apply the Dr.Liv super Day Shield (UVA/UVB protection) every morning when using Retinol.

4. Pause and repeatAt the beginning, the Turnover Optimizer should be used once a week, ideally on Monday evening. After three to four weeks, increase the frequency to Monday and Friday. After another four weeks, apply it on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, until your skin can handle it enough to use it Monday through Friday. On weekends and off nights, apply the Overnight Smoother instead. The Turnover Optimizer and Overnight Smoother should never be used on the same day.

5. Adjust seasonallyIn winter, the air tends to be dry and we spend most of our time in heated rooms. These conditions increase the feeling of dryness that retinol can initially cause. That’s why the Turnover Optimizer should be used no more than three times a week in winter. In summer, the frequency can be increased to five times a week.
