A skincare routine works when three things line up: the right order, the right amount, and one honest week of consistency. This guide covers exactly how to use the three The Only 3-step routine products — the Breath cleanser, Day Cream SPF 50+ and Night Cream — what to expect on each day of your first week, and the signs that mean you should stop.

1. How to use the Breath Facial Cleanser

Morning & night

• Twice daily, morning and evening, on a face dampened with lukewarm water.
• Massage in light circles for 30 seconds, rinse well, pat dry.
• Always the first step — before Day Cream in the morning, before Night Cream at night.

What to expect: a light surface flaking in the first few days. This is normal surface renewal; it eases within 3–5 days and does not come back. If it lasts longer or comes with stinging, drop to once a day.

2. How to use the Day Cream SPF 50+

Morning

• Straight after cleansing, on clean, fully dry skin.
• Two layers: apply the first, let it dry, then apply the second. The two layers are what bring the protection up to the level stated on the pack.
• Reapply every 2 hours under direct sun.

What to expect: with regular use, the difference in the look of your skin starts to show from around the fifth application and becomes clearer as you continue. Results vary from person to person.

3. How to use the Night Cream

Night

• Evenings only, after cleansing — a thin layer on dry skin.
• Avoid the eye area, the lips and the corners of the nose.
• Consistency matters: complete a full week without skipping, then carry on with your routine.
• Because it's a night renewal cream, using the Day Cream every morning is required, not optional.

What to expect: softness and skin feel start improving from the second night. A visible difference in evenness and the look of dark marks takes weeks of continued use — it follows your skin's own renewal cycle.

Your first week, day by day

DAY 1–5	Cleanser: light surface flaking — normal, temporary
NIGHT 2	Night Cream: skin feel starts to improve
USE 5	Day Cream: the difference starts to show
DAY 7	First full week done — don't stop here

Frequently asked questions

My skin is flaking after the cleanser — should I stop?

No, as long as the flaking is light, on the surface, and within the first 3–5 days. If it continues past that, or comes with persistent redness or stinging, drop to one cleanse a day — and if the irritation stays, speak to your doctor.

Why two layers of Day Cream?

Because the protection printed on any sunscreen is measured using a set amount that's far more than most people actually apply. Two thin layers are the simplest way to reach the right amount without a heavy finish.

In what order should I use the three products?

Morning: cleanser, then Day Cream SPF 50+ in two layers. Night: cleanser, then Night Cream. Nothing else in between.

Can I keep using my old cleanser with the creams?

We don't recommend it while you're on the routine. Cleansers differ in pH and in surfactants, which changes the state of the skin the two creams are formulated to work on.

When will I see a result?

Skin feel is the fastest signal — from around the second night with the Night Cream. The overall look starts shifting from the fifth Day Cream application. Evenness and the look of dark marks take weeks of consistent use.

I'm pregnant — can I use the Night Cream?

No. The Night Cream should not be used during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or if you are planning a pregnancy. Continue with the cleanser and Day Cream only, and speak to your doctor.

Important precautions

• Do not use Night Cream during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or if you are planning a pregnancy.
• External use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; if it happens, rinse with plenty of water.
• Patch-test a small amount on a limited area before first use.
• Stop use and speak to your doctor if redness, itching or irritation persists.
• Do not use other exfoliants or retinol products alongside this routine.
• Store away from heat and direct sunlight, out of reach of children.
