The best routine for dry sensitive-feeling skin is not the longest routine. It is a calm sequence that avoids stripping, supports softness and helps you feel confident about what you are putting on your face.
Use the Honey Cream Cleanser first. In the evening, apply Repair Serum more liberally over dry or depleted areas, then seal it in with Botanical Night Cream. During the day, press a small amount of Repair Serum only onto dry patches before Natural Day Moisturiser and sunscreen.
This routine is for delicate skin, reactive-feeling skin, dryness, tightness and skin that prefers gentle, fragrance-conscious care. If you have a diagnosed skin condition or known allergies, patch test first and seek professional advice when needed.
Dry sensitive-feeling skin can become overwhelmed when too many products are introduced at once. A focused routine keeps the steps clear: cleanse gently, support dry areas with Repair Serum, moisturise well, and keep exfoliation occasional.

Common questions
Start with a non-foaming cleanser. At night, use Repair Serum more generously on dry areas and follow with Botanical Night Cream. During the day, use a small amount of Repair Serum only on dry patches, then moisturise and apply sunscreen.
Many people with dry sensitive-feeling skin prefer a cream cleanser because it can cleanse without the tight, squeaky feeling associated with some foaming cleansers.
The Honey Cream Cleanser is the clearest first step. If dryness is the main concern, add Repair Serum at night under Botanical Night Cream, and use it sparingly during the day on dry patches only.
