3 steps to radiant skin, with Cl de Peau Beaut

Over the past five years, we have seen the rise of the multi-step skincare routine. On Instagram and YouTube, celebrities and influencers were popping up with 10-, 20- and even 50-step routines, all in the name of brighter, more radiant skin. Thankfully, the pendulum seems to be swinging back the other way, as true beauty obsessives realise it isn’t about the number of products you use; it’s about the quality of your products and the results they provide.

Clé de Peau Beauté has always known this. Created in Japan in 1982, the brand – now celebrating its 40th birthday – has always been at the cutting edge of skincare innovation, using the most potent, scientifically-proven ingredients to forge new frontiers in advanced skin-cell science.

That pursuit of ‘quality over quantity’ is key to Clé de Peau Beauté’s Key Radiance Care collection – a much-loved range that distils the daily skincare routine down to three simple steps, morning and evening. Starting with cult favourite The Serum, followed by the hydrating Hydro-Softening Lotion, and finishing with a resilient Protective Fortifying Emulsion, the Key Radiance Care products prove that less is more when it comes to glowing skin.

Each product in the range also features Clé de Peau Beauté’s Skin-Empowering Illuminator, a patented technology made with Platinum Golden Silk Essence to enhance your complexion's intuitive ability to self-repair. And in celebration of its 40th anniversary, the brand is now releasing limited-edition versions of the Key Radiance Care collection, created in collaboration with French illustrator duo Kerascoët, who, alongside their many illustrated books, have also worked with the likes of brands including Van Cleef & Arpels. Here, we explore the ultimate three-step routine for your most radiant skin yet.

Step 1: The Serum

With a unique formula that feels as though it’s melting into the skin, Clé de Peau Beauté’s best-selling The Serum contains three different types of kelp. Known as the Kelplex complex, a trio of green, red and brown kelp extracts help to awaken the skin’s regenerative powers, leaving it looking visibly plumped and healthy. For maximum impact, apply three pumps of The Serum morning and evening onto freshly cleansed skin.

Step 2: The Lotion

Follow up the nutrient-packed serum with a nurturing and hydrating lotion. The Clé de Peau Beauté Hydro-Softening Lotion instantly and intensively hydrates and balances skin to help eliminate the appearance of roughness and dryness, thanks to a potent combination of moisturising agents, including Scutellaria Baicalensis Root extract, which is revered for its ability to protect skin from environmental stressors. This Hydro-Softening Lotion has a clear liquid consistency – apply it to a cotton pad and smooth gently over the face following the application of The Serum. Repeat both morning and evening.

Step 3: The Emulsions

Finish off your skincare routine with a targeted emulsion to boost and support your skin and help build resilience. During the day, reach for Clé de Peau Beauté’s Protective Fortifying Emulsion. Containing UV protection to help guard against environmental aggressors such as UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared rays, it’s the perfect base for foundation. At night, use the Intensive Fortifying Emulsion, which moisturises and nourishes skin while you sleep. The emulsions use ingredients such as Ononis Spinosa Root extract, which helps to create radiant, youthful-looking skin. Take a pearl-sized amount and sweep it over the skin following The Serum and Hydro-Softening Lotion for a flawless finish.
