This is the routine Sonia prescribes for reactive, post-procedure, rosacea-prone, and chronically over-treated skin. The strategy here is the opposite of most "skincare routines" — fewer products, dosed precisely, chosen for what they leave out as much as what they include.

ZO Gentle Cleanser removes the day without disturbing the barrier. EPICUTIS Lipid Serum delivers TSC, a patented anti-inflammatory molecule that calms cellular reactivity and is safe for use immediately post-procedure. Hydrinity Restorative HA Serum layers in injectable-grade hyaluronic acid alongside peptides for barrier repair. EltaMD UV Clear adds 5% niacinamide to the SPF step — calming, not just protecting.

Use morning and evening. Skip exfoliation, retinoids, and acid actives entirely while you reset. Begin with a complimentary assessment if your skin has been reactive for more than two weeks.
