Collection: targeted treatments

Targeted treatments are concentrated skincare products designed to address a specific skin concern, such as brightening uneven tone, hydrating dehydration, correcting breakouts, or treating delicate areas like the eyes and lips. They are used alongside daily skincare products to deliver focused, concern-driven results.

Daily products like cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen support overall skin health and maintenance. Targeted treatments are typically higher potency and focus on a specific concern. They complement, rather than replace, core routine steps and are used in smaller amounts and at defined frequencies.

Targeted treatments are generally applied after cleansing and toning and before heavier serums or moisturizers. Spot treatments may be applied directly to the affected area. Follow individual product directions to determine whether moisturizer should be layered before or after. Consistent routine order supports best results.

Usage frequency depends on the active ingredients and your skin’s tolerance. Some targeted treatments are suitable for daily use, while stronger actives such as retinoids or high-strength exfoliating acids are used less frequently. Start slowly, follow label instructions, and consult a Professional Skin Therapist (PST) if unsure.

Some targeted treatments can be layered, but combinations should be introduced gradually. Avoid using multiple high-strength actives at the same time until you know how your skin responds. Patch testing and professional guidance can help you build a safe, effective layering plan.

Safety depends on the specific active ingredients. Some targeted actives, such as high-dose salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, are typically avoided during pregnancy. Always review ingredient guidance and consult a PST or healthcare provider to choose pregnancy-safe alternatives.

Results vary by concern and formulation. Some treatments, such as blemish spot correctors, may show visible improvement within days, while treatments that support resurfacing or long-term skin renewal can take several weeks. Consistent use and professional support help optimize outcomes.

Choose a treatment based on your primary concern and the product’s key active ingredients, such as brightening actives for uneven tone, humectants for dehydration, or blemish-targeting ingredients for breakouts. A Professional Skin Therapist can help personalize product selection and routine placement.

Yes. Targeted at-home treatments are often used to support and maintain professional skin treatment results. However, certain actives may need to be paused before or after in-clinic services. Always follow your PST’s guidance to ensure safe timing and optimal results.
