Layering C+ and S+ after 45

After 45, many people notice two things at the same time: breakouts along the jaw, and skin that looks duller and less firm than it did. Both are common as hormones shift, so it makes sense to have a routine that covers both.

A simple routine: Encap C+ in the morning, 3–5 drops across the face, followed by moisturiser and SPF 30 or higher. Encap S+ at night, 2–3 drops on the areas that tend to break out. Both are formulated at pH 5.5, so they sit comfortably in the same routine.

Start with one serum for about two weeks to let your skin settle, then add the second. If you notice dryness or irritation, use Encap S+ every other night until your skin feels comfortable. Pair with a gentle cleanser and daily SPF, and give your routine a consistent 12 weeks before you decide how it's working for you.
