Common questions about starting LNDA+LAB
I have not used products with acids and retinol before. What should I start with?
The skin needs gradual adaptation, so start with one product at a time. Daily Exfoliation Wash and/or Lotion are good to start with. First a couple of evenings a week and then increase gradually. When the skin is used to it, you can start with Renewal Cream Daily 10%. When it is empty, you can switch to Renewal Cream Forte 20%.
I'm used to using products with acids and retinol. Which LAB products should I start with?
Then you can choose a little, based on what you want to focus on. We have several packages you can choose from so that you get a good start. Feel free to choose something from each series, based on which skin challenges you have. We have a day and night kit that are great to start with, then you can alternate between serums or oils as needed.
My skin is a bit sensitive. Can I still use LAB?
You can! With a gradual adaptation, most people can use the products. The green products with Aquaporine Moisture Wash and Detox Lotion are a cleansing series that suits everyone. 24 Hour repair cream won the prize for "Anti-aging cream of the year 2024" by ELLE and is both gentle and effective at the same time. Daily Defense cream with SPF 30 protects the skin throughout the day, without any form of sensitisation.
Can LAB be used during the day as well?
Yes, we have our own daily routine, which you can find here. In addition, the 24 Hour repair cream can also be used during the day.
What about using these products in the summer?
It all depends on how you are out in the sun. If you don't sunbathe your face and use a good sunscreen, you'll be fine. If the skin is used to the products before the summer, you seek shade when the sun is strongest and use a sun protection factor, you can use the products as normal all year round.
Should I use the same products every day for best results?
No, you don't need to. You can advantageously vary both your LAB products in the evening and during the day. The skin will then be supplied with many different active substances, and will not be so easily overexposed to e.g. acids or retinol. After a period of getting used to it, you can use the blue creams with AHA acids and the brown ones with e.g. retinol every other night.
Is there a plan or template you can follow if you are unsure?
Yes. Everyone who buys LNDA+LAB products receives a brochure with additional information and a "step by step" plan that you can follow. You can choose whether you follow the weekly schedule for beginners or advanced users. You can also get help from one of our skin care professionals to set up your own weekly schedule.
