Meet Your Routine

Our guide to simple, smart, and effective skincare starts with just three essentials: cleanser, serum, and moisturizer. Learn how these steps can visibly change your skin. 

Cleanse

Cleansers should do one job: clean. Too many strip away the moisture barrier, leaving skin tight, dry, and irritated. Ours cleanse away whatever the day brings while helping keep your barrier intact.

SELECT A CLEANSER
  • Four-in-one cleansing balm that gently removes makeup, exfoliates, hydrates, and soothes.

Treat

Serums are your daily dose of concentrated skincare. Ours are potent enough to deliver results, yet gentle enough for daily use because they’re built to work with your skin’s biology, not against it.

SELECT A SERUM
  • A hero serum that’s clinically proven to hydrate, brighten, firm, and fight visible signs of aging.

Moisturize

Cream and oil moisturizers help prevent water loss while replenishing lipids that support a healthy skin barrier, leaving skin stronger, smoother, and more radiant.

SELECT A MOISTURIZER
  • A moisturizing oil that’s clinically proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and plump and brighten the skin.

About Your 3-Step Routine

True Botanicals’ three-step routine is built on a simple principle: work with your skin's biology, not against it. 


Start with Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm, a four-in-one formula that removes makeup, exfoliates, hydrates, and soothes without stripping your moisture barrier. 


Next, treat skin with Chebula Active Serum, a clinically proven five-in-one formula powered by Chebula—an antioxidant 88x more potent than the vitamin C found in oranges—paired with two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for both surface-level plumping and deep, lasting hydration. In clinical testing, 97% of users saw a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and 100% saw softer, smoother skin. 


Finish with Renew Pure Radiance Oil, formulated with 14 nutrient-dense ingredients that lock in hydration, diminish the look of fine lines, and leave skin plumped and brighter. 


Cleansing preps skin so the serum can actually sink in, and sealing everything in with a moisturizer or oil prevents water loss while reinforcing your barrier—so following this order, twice daily, is what makes the routine effective.

FAQs

What are the three steps of a skincare routine?

Cleanse, treat and moisturize for a simple yet effective skincare routine. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup, so nothing blocks what comes next. A serum like Chebula Active Serum treats while delivering a concentrated dose of actives penetrating deeply into the skin. Moisturize last, with something like Renew Pure Radiance Oil, which seals everything in and prevents water loss.

Do I need all of these products?

Yes—cleanser, serum, and moisturizer cover everything skin needs: removing impurities, treating specific concerns, and sealing in hydration. Everything else on this page (eye treatments, lip treatments, boosters) is optional, and built to layer on top of these three steps for more targeted concerns, not replace them.

How do I choose the right cleanser for my skin?

Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm is the all-around pick—a four-in-one formula that removes makeup, exfoliates, hydrates, and soothes. If you have oily or breakout-prone skin, Clear Nourishing Cleanser balances oil without stripping the barrier. For dry or irritated skin, Renew Nourishing Cleanser gently hydrates while brightening.

How do I choose the right serum for my skin?

It depends on your goal. Chebula Active Serum is the best starting point for most people since it addresses five concerns at once—hydration, firmness, brightness, smoothness, and visible aging. If redness or sensitivity is a concern, Phyto-Retinol Clinical Serum offers retinol-like results without irritation. To visibly strengthen and improve elasticity while plumping and hydrating, reach for SuperSEA Firming & Lifting Treatment.

Can I use more than one serum, and in what order?

Yes—apply the lightest formula first and the richest last. Vitamin C Serum-Booster can be mixed directly into any serum for a brightening boost.

Is Phyto-Retinol Clinical Serum a real retinol alternative?

Yes. It's powered by Peptilium®, a biopeptide clinically shown to work faster than synthetic retinol without the redness, dryness, or irritation. It's also safe for daily use, with no tolerance-building period required. In clinical studies, 94% of users saw brighter, more radiant skin, and 100% saw a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

What does SuperSEA Firming & Lifting Treatment do that a serum doesn't?

It targets the skin’s collagen-rich extracellular matrix directly, using a blend of seaweeds and sea minerals to visibly lift, tighten, and firm—92% of users saw firmer, tighter skin. It's best layered in for concerns around sagging or loss of elasticity, alongside your regular serum step.

How do I choose between an oil or cream moisturizer?

It comes down to your preference. If you prefer an oil moisturizer, the Renew Pure Radiance Oil is our bestseller and clinically proven to diminish fine lines and plump and brighten skin. If you prefer a cream-based moisturizer, Chebula Xtreme Cream delivers intense hydration, antioxidant-powered defense, and radiant skin. Alternatively, you can use both, simply use your oil first followed by your cream.

Can I use both an oil and cream moisturizer?

Yes—many people layer both for extra hydration. Apply your oil first so it fully absorbs, then follow with your cream to seal everything in and lock in moisture.

Do I need to add anything beyond the 3 core steps?

You can customize based on your concerns: add Vitamin C Serum-Booster to your serum for dark spots, Chebula Multi-Corrective Eye Patches for tired or puffy eyes, or a lip treatment like Lipid Lip Hydrating Glossy Oil to extend barrier care to your lips. During the day, always finish with Skin Barrier Sun Shield SPF 30, our mineral sunscreen with Chebula and astaxanthin—apply it after your moisturizer and before makeup for daily broad-spectrum protection.
