How to Use Ambernay

Two products. One routine. Formulated to work together so your skin receives exactly what it needs — nothing more.

When to Use

☀ Morning

Ambernay Cleanse → Ambernay Serum → SPF (your choice)

🌙 Evening

Ambernay Cleanse → Ambernay Serum

Step-by-Step

1

Ambernay Cleanse

The Reset

Begin with damp skin. Dispense 1–2 pumps of Ambernay Cleanse into your palms and work into a gentle lather. Massage in slow, circular movements for 30–60 seconds, focusing on areas of congestion or texture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Why it works

Biofermented lactobacillus and willow bark gently dissolve dead cells and excess sebum without disrupting the skin barrier. The formula stays at a skin-compatible pH to keep moisture locked in.

Ambernay Serum

The Treatment

While skin is still slightly damp, dispense 3–4 drops of Ambernay Serum onto fingertips. Press gently into the face, neck, and décolletage using light tapping motions — avoid rubbing. Allow 60 seconds to absorb before applying SPF or any additional products.

Why it works

Bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative, works in synergy with vitamin C-rich kakadu plum and stabilised niacinamide. Together they address uneven tone, fine lines, and barrier resilience — without the irritation risk of conventional retinoids.

Tips for Best Results

💧

Apply to damp skin

The serum absorbs faster and performs better when skin retains a little moisture after cleansing.

🕐

Consistency over intensity

Most clinical actives reach their peak benefit after 8–12 weeks of daily use. A steady routine outperforms occasional intensive use every time.

☀️

SPF is non-negotiable

Vitamin C and bakuchiol both enhance your skin's clarity — UV exposure undoes that work daily. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ in the morning.

🌿

Less is more

The serum is highly concentrated. Three to four drops is the right amount for your full face and neck — using more doesn't speed up results.

What to Expect

Week

1–2

Skin feels cleaner and less congested after cleansing. Texture appears smoother. Some users notice a subtle glow within the first week.

Week

3–4

Hydration levels improve noticeably. Skin feels more balanced — less oily in the T-zone, less tight elsewhere. Early-stage dark spots begin to lighten.

Week

8–12

The cumulative effect of bakuchiol becomes visible: finer lines are softened, skin tone is more even, and the complexion appears lifted and resilient. This is where the real transformation happens.

Works With / Avoid

✓ Compatible With

  • Hyaluronic acid serums
  • Peptide moisturisers
  • Mineral or chemical SPF

Sensitive Skin Guidance

Both Ambernay formulas are designed to minimise irritation — they are free from synthetic fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, and known sensitisers. That said, if your skin is reactive:

  • Patch-test on the inner arm for 24 hours before full application.
  • Introduce the serum every other evening for the first two weeks before moving to daily use.
  • If redness or stinging occurs, space applications further apart rather than discontinuing entirely.

Common Questions

Can I use both products twice a day?

Yes — the routine is designed for morning and evening use. In the morning, follow the serum with SPF. In the evening, no additional moisturiser is needed unless your skin is very dry.

Do I need a separate moisturiser?

The serum contains enough humectants and emollients to function as a lightweight moisturiser for most skin types. If you have very dry skin or live in a low-humidity climate, layer a simple moisturiser on top.

Is Ambernay safe during pregnancy?

Bakuchiol is generally considered a pregnancy-safe alternative to retinol. However, we always recommend consulting your midwife or GP before introducing new skincare during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How long will one bottle last?

Used twice daily, Ambernay Cleanse lasts approximately 60 days and Ambernay Serum approximately 45 days.
