Description
The CSA approach (Vitamin C + Sunscreen by day, Vitamin A by night) is recognised as the gold standard for long-term skin health and age prevention. This classic starter routine combines C-Tetra®, Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF 50+, and Crystal Retinal® 3 to deliver daily protection, visible radiance and overnight skin renewal in a simple, effective system.
Ideal for those beginning their CSA journey or seeking a streamlined, professional-grade routine with proven results.
What’s Inside the Routine:
C-Tetra® Lipid Vitamin C Serum
A lightweight, lipid-based vitamin C serum that helps brighten the complexion, improve skin tone and support collagen for a naturally radiant appearance. Provides daily antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
Advanced Day Ultimate Protect™ SPF 50+ | PA++++
A high-performance daily moisturiser offering very high UVA and UVB protection, enhanced with photolyase technology to support skin exposed to environmental aggressors. An essential step for maintaining results and supporting long-term skin health.
Crystal Retinal® 3 (Night Serum)
A medium-strength retinaldehyde serum that supports overnight skin renewal, refines texture and softens the appearance of fine lines. Crystal Retinal works up to 11x faster than traditional retinol*, delivering visible results with a streamlined routine.
