In the world of skincare, consistency is key—but what you apply and when you apply it is just as important. Your skin’s needs change throughout the day, which means your morning and evening routines should too. A thoughtful AM/PM regimen ensures your skin stays protected during the day and is restored and renewed at night.
At Radical Skincare, we believe in powerful, science-backed products that deliver real results without compromising your skin’s integrity. With that in mind, we’ve created the ultimate guide to curating a balanced, effective routine—from sunrise to sundown—using our most loved multitaskers.
Let’s dive into the perfect AM and PM routines that work with your skin’s natural rhythm to help you glow around the clock.
Your AM Routine: Prepare, Protect, and Power Up Your Skin
The morning is all about prepping your skin to face environmental aggressors like UV rays, pollution, and stress. A well-designed AM regimen strengthens the skin barrier, boosts hydration, and provides essential protection.
Step 1: Cleanse with Hydrating Cleanser
Start your day with a clean canvas. Our Hydrating Cleanser gently removes sweat, overnight oils, and impurities without stripping your skin of moisture. This creamy formula soothes as it purifies, making it perfect for all skin types—especially dry or sensitive skin.
Why it’s essential in the AM: Clean skin allows your following products to penetrate more effectively. Plus, this gentle cleanse helps wake up your complexion without irritation.
Step 2: Repair with Youth Infusion Serum
Next, infuse your skin with youth. The Youth Infusion Serum is packed with antioxidants and age-defying actives that fight early signs of aging while boosting skin firmness and elasticity.
Why it’s essential in the AM: During the day, your skin is exposed to free radicals and oxidative stress. This serum works as a shield, delivering active ingredients that support skin repair and resilience throughout the day.
Step 3: Hydrate with Restorative Moisture
Moisture is non-negotiable. Our Restorative Moisture deeply hydrates, smooths fine lines, and enhances skin texture without leaving behind a greasy finish. It absorbs quickly and layers beautifully under SPF and makeup.
Why it’s essential in the AM: This moisturizer supports the skin barrier and keeps your skin plump and protected from morning until evening.
Step 4: Protect with Skin Perfecting Screen SPF 30
Sunscreen is your best anti-aging ally. Skin Perfecting Screen SPF 30 not only shields your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays but also offers a slight blurring effect to minimize the appearance of pores and imperfections.
Why it’s essential in the AM: UV damage is cumulative and can undo all your hard work. Applying sunscreen daily is the single most important step to protect your skin from premature aging, sunburn, and discoloration.
Your PM Routine: Renew, Restore, and Reset Your Skin
Nighttime is when your skin shifts into repair mode. This is the best time to feed it with potent actives that exfoliate, correct, and hydrate at a deeper level.
Step 1: Cleanse with Hydrating Cleanser
Yes, again! The Hydrating Cleanser returns for your evening routine to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and the day’s buildup. Its gentle formula ensures you’re not over-cleansing or compromising your skin’s moisture balance.
Why it’s essential in the PM: Cleansing is the first step to allow your night products to do their job without barriers like makeup or pollution.
Step 2: Exfoliate with Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads
After cleansing, sweep on our Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads. These pre-soaked pads gently exfoliate with AHA and BHA to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve texture.
Why it’s essential in the PM: Nighttime is ideal for exfoliation because it allows your skin to renew uninterrupted by sun exposure or makeup. Regular exfoliation also enhances the absorption of your serums and creams.
Step 3: Repair with Rejuvafirm CBD Facial Oil
Follow up with our Rejuvafirm CBD Facial Oil, a soothing and reparative oil that targets inflammation, fine lines, and loss of firmness. The addition of CBD helps calm skin and supports overnight repair processes.
Why it’s essential in the PM: CBD works wonders while you sleep, reducing redness, sensitivity, and signs of aging—all while nourishing your skin with essential fatty acids and botanicals.
Step 4: Correct & Hydrate with Extreme Repair
Seal in all the goodness with Extreme Repair, our ultra-rich cream that delivers intense hydration while targeting deep wrinkles, uneven tone, and loss of elasticity.
Why it’s essential in the PM: This is your heavy hitter—the formula that works overtime while you rest. It’s rich enough to deeply hydrate yet formulated to not clog pores or feel heavy.
Why an AM/PM Routine Matters
Think of your skincare like a fitness plan: consistency and timing matter. Your skin’s needs differ by the hour:
- Morning routines focus on protection and prevention. You’re safeguarding your skin from external stressors, and setting the stage for healthy function.
- Evening routines focus on correction and restoration. Your skin is more permeable at night, meaning it’s the best time for repair-focused actives to get to work.
By tailoring your routine to your skin’s natural cycles, you’re maximizing results and minimizing stress—both for your complexion and your daily schedule.
Final Thoughts: Consistency is the Real Glow-Up
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by skincare, know this: you don’t need a 10-step routine to get results. You just need the right products at the right time. Radical Skincare’s AM/PM system is built to simplify your regimen without sacrificing results—because skincare should work with your life, not complicate it.
With the power of Radical’s advanced formulations and a routine that respects your skin’s rhythm, you can look forward to healthier, more radiant skin every morning and every night.
So take the time—just a few minutes in the AM and PM—and give your skin the consistent care it deserves. Glowing skin isn’t a mystery. It’s a method.
