Alexandra’s Morning Skincare Routine
Step 1: Corthe Gentle Cleanser
Alexandra begins her morning with the Corthe Gentle Cleanser. Cleansing helps wash away oil, sweat, and impurities that may collect on the skin overnight. A gentle cleanser leaves skin feeling refreshed without leaving it overly dry or tight.
Step 2: Corthe Soothing Toner
Next, Alexandra applies the Corthe Soothing Toner. Toner helps refresh and comfort the skin while preparing it for the products that follow.
Step 3: Celimax Pore + Dark Spot Cream
Alexandra then applies the Celimax Pore + Dark Spot Cream. This targeted treatment helps improve the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and visible pores. Shop the Celimax Pore + Dark Spot Cream
Step 4: Corthe Rich M Lotion
The Corthe Rich M Lotion adds hydration and helps keep the skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day.
Step 5: Sunblock
Sun protection is one of the most important parts of Alexandra’s morning routine. Daily sunblock helps protect the skin from UV exposure, which can contribute to premature aging, discoloration, and sun damage. Alexandra loves Colorescience Tinted Sunscreen or PFECT Sunblock which goes on CLEAR (no white cast whatsoever). Want to learn more about choosing and applying sunblock?

Alexandra’s Nighttime Skincare Routine
The nighttime routine focuses on cleansing away the day, restoring hydration, and carefully adding active treatments.
Step 1: Corthe Gentle Cleanser + Makeup Removal
Alexandra begins by cleansing with the Corthe Gentle Cleanser to remove makeup, sunblock, excess oil, and daily impurities.
If her makeup is heavy, she starts with the KRx Pre-Cleansing Oil for a double cleanse. Or she uses gentle micellar water for eye-makeup.
Extra Enzyme Step:
Alexandra keeps this one in the shower, especially when her skin feels dull and dehydrated! Use this enzyme wash to help clarify the skin. Papain helps dissolve dead skin cells to refine uneven texture and restore clarity. Corthe Super Enzyme Powder
Step 2: Corthe Soothing Toner or Dermathod Peeling Pads
On regular evenings, Alexandra follows cleansing with the Corthe Soothing Toner. Twice a week, she uses Dermathod Peeling Pads in place of toner. These exfoliating pads help remove dead surface skin cells and improve the appearance of dullness and uneven texture. Because exfoliation can make the skin more sensitive, Alexandra does not use her retinol on the same nights she uses the peeling pads.
Step 3: Hydrating Ampoule
Next, Alexandra applies a hydrating ampoule. An ampoule is a concentrated skincare treatment that helps deliver hydration and supportive ingredients to the skin. This step helps the skin feel plump, refreshed, and comfortable. Alexandra’s Product: Corthe Cica Ampoule
Step 4: PFECT Retinol—Twice a Week
On two evenings each week, Alexandra uses PFECT Retinol to support smoother-looking skin and improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and discoloration. She does not apply retinol on the same nights that she uses the Dermathod Peeling Pads. Separating these active treatments helps reduce the risk of excessive dryness or irritation.
Step 5: Corthe Rich M Lotion
After applying her treatment products, Alexandra uses the Corthe Rich M Lotion to replenish hydration and help keep her skin feeling balanced.
Step 6: Corthe Rich M Cream
Alexandra finishes her nighttime routine with the Corthe Rich M Cream. This final layer helps seal in moisture and supports the skin’s natural protective barrier while she sleeps.
