Still Haven’t Tried Viviology? You’re Missing Out. Start With This AM and PM Routine

Viviology Skincare cannot. Be. Kept. On. the. Shelves.

It’s affordable, it’s effective and it truly is one of the best places you can start on an affordable, science-backed skincare journey.

Honestly, as a Dermal Therapist, I get how personal skincare can be.

Everyone wants their products to make them look and feel their best…and the thing is, not every product is for every skin.

That’s what makes Viviology so great, because it was created by another Dermal Therapist, James Vivian, who (we all know/love) understands this.

So, you can mix and match the entire routine to suit your skin and make it work for you.

And I love this concept, because everyone’s skin is different and everyone’s budget ebbs and flows.

So yes, while some months you might be down for spending your monthly rent on a serum, there may be other months where your wallet will be like, hell no (and luckily, these products sit in the more budget-friendly bracket, which makes things helpful and reminds us we don’t always need to spend our life savings for great skin.)

So read on for my top Viviology picks as well as a personalised skincare routine tailored to your skin type.

What: Viviology Vitamin C Serum 30mL

Honestly in my 12 years of writing about beauty, this is still the best vitamin C under $60 I’ve ever tried.

It's an L-ascorbic acid formula so please be mindful if you are more of a sensitive skin.

However, if you are after brighter, glowier skin with change leftover for a coffee - this delivers.

What: Viviology Ceramide Moisturiser 50mL

But can I recommend it in its jumbo size? Because - because finally.

Anyway, this is a very ‘meet in the middle’ type of moisturiser for many skins - including hormonal/acne-prone.

It’s not too heavy, not too light - just right and it’s jam packed full of skin barrier-loving ingredients like squalane, ceramides and jojoba seed oil so it feels like a big hug for your face.

The range also has a Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Liquid Exfoliant just FYI.

Which are all great products to mix and match into your skincare routine.

So where can you start?

Well, by thinking about your skin type/concerns of course - and if you want a little more help, below are some mini routines for different skin types with some handy skin tips from James which can hopefully help guide your choices...

Pro tip from James: "Remember oily skin may still need hydration too to avoid it from overproducing oil so a little of the ceramide moisturiser goes a long way so you can be hydrated without being an oil slick.

Also, the creamy and hydrating nature of the Retinol Serum 0.3% makes it a great two in one treatment serum and night time moisturiser for oily skins."

Pro tip from James: "Don’t be afraid of amping up the frequency of your liquid exfoliant to help activate the natural production of ceramides and hyaluronic acid making skin a more hydrated version of itself over time.

This will also help pare back dry skin build ups making your serums and hydrating products much more effective."

Pro tip from James: "Sensitive skin meet Niacinamide and HA Serum and Ceramide Moisturiser.

These products used together in isolation from other products and ingredients can help to improve the look and feel of sensitive skins and get your skin ready for the introduction of other serums and ingredients."

Pro tip from James: "Well aren’t you lucky?! You can use the Viviology range in its entirety.

Bring out your inner dermal clinician and find the right frequency of using the liquid exfoliant and retinol serum 0.3% as much as possible so your skin is singing without any signs of sensitivity and irritation.

Aim for the retinol serum 0.3% every night and the liquid exfoliant underneath as regularly as possible but always start slowly."
