Are You Neglecting Them?

November 10, 2025 by Natalie

Taking care of your neck and décolleté: a commonly overlooked area.

When we think about a skincare routine, we often focus on the face —from the forehead to the chin —forgetting that signs of aging appear just as quickly (if not more so) on the neck and décolleté. As many beauty professionals say, the face is not limited to the facial features; it extends from the nipples to the hairline.

Why Are These Areas So Sensitive?

The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner, less naturally hydrated (because it contains fewer sebaceous glands), and more exposed to external aggressions such as sun, wind, cold, and pollution. The result? It dries out faster, loses elasticity, and shows wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and sagging skin earlier than other parts of the body.

And in our hyperconnected daily lives, a new phenomenon is accelerating aging in this area: “tech neck,” the horizontal lines caused by constantly looking down at our phones and computers.

The Right Steps To Take

1. Cleanse gently every day, as you would your face.

2. Moisturize and nourish with appropriate skincare products, extending your facial products down to your décolleté.

3. Massage to stimulate circulation and firm the skin.

4. Protect from the sun with an SPF cream, even in winter or on cloudy days.

5. Exfoliate regularly to promote cell renewal.

Targeted Treatments for Visible Results

More and more brands are offering skincare products specifically formulated for the neck and décolleté: firming creams, anti-dark spot serums, moisturizing masks, etc. These products are designed to improve texture, stimulate collagen production, and restore firmness to these delicate areas.

Between Professional Treatments:
A Smart Routine

Between in-clinic treatments, apply your facial routine from your chest to your forehead, and your body routine from your chin to your feet. This allows your neck and décolleté to benefit from double the nutrients and hydration.

And don’t forget: 20 minutes of sun exposure is enough to damage your skin. Sunscreen remains your best ally against premature aging.

Retinol FAQ

August 27, 2025 by Natalie

The most frequently asked questions about retinol, answered.

Retinol has earned its place as one of the most researched and effective ingredients in modern skincare. From reducing fine lines and wrinkles to improving texture, tone and breakouts, it offers a wide range of benefits. Yet, because it’s also known for potential side effects like dryness or irritation, many people have questions about how to use it correctly.

In this FAQ, we break down everything you need to know about retinol so you can incorporate it into your routine with confidence.

1. What is retinol?

Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A used in cosmetics for its anti-aging and anti-acne effects and to improve skin texture. It stimulates cell renewal and collagen and elastin production.

2. At what age can you start using retinol?

In general, you can start using it in your twenties to prevent the signs of aging, or earlier in cases of persistent acne. It is especially recommended for people aged 25-30 and above.

3. When should you apply it?

Always in the evening, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. In the morning, it is essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).

4. Should you moisturize after using retinol?

Yes! Moisturizing is crucial to limit side effects such as dryness or irritation. Apply a moisturizer after retinol.

5. What are the side effects?

– Redness

– Dryness

– Flaking

– Increased sensitivity

These effects are normal at first and diminish over time. If irritation is too severe, reduce the frequency of use.

6. Can it be used with other active ingredients?

Avoid combining retinol with:

– AHA/BHA (exfoliating acids)

– Vitamin C (in the same routine)

– Strongly scented or irritating products

You can combine it with:

– Niacinamide (soothes and moisturizes)

– Ceramides

– Hyaluronic acid

7. How long before I see results?

The first results (smoother skin, radiance) appear after 4 to 8 weeks. The deeper anti-aging effects take 3 to 6 months.

8. Should I stop using it in the summer or if I go on vacation?

No, but you should increase your sun protection. If you have very sensitive skin or plan to be exposed to strong sunlight, you can reduce the frequency or take a break.

I Have Dark Spots: How To Best Treat Them?

August 27, 2025August 26, 2025 by Natalie

Ingredients to look for and treatments that can help fade hyperpigmentation.

Here are the main ways to treat pigmentation and dark spots:

1. Topical Creams & Serums

The most effective active ingredients include:

Niacinamide: Reduces dark spots and soothes the skin.

Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that brightens the complexion.

Azelaic Acid: Ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Retinol: Stimulates cell renewal and fades dark spots.

Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Remove pigmented cells from the surface.

2. Dermatological Treatments

Chemical Peels: based on glycolic or trichloroacetic acid.

Laser: targets deep pigmentation.

Cryotherapy: destroys pigmented cells using cold temperatures.

Microneedling + Brightening Serums: stimulates skin regeneration.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Used for darker skin tones.

3. Daily Sun Protection

This is essential to prevent new spots from appearing and old ones from getting worse. Use SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days (365 days a year!).

4. Prevention & Care

Avoid touching or scratching spots (risk of post-inflammatory spots).

Incorporate lightening treatments into your routine, even after having the spots treated.

Moisturize your skin well to strengthen its natural barrier.

Following these tips should help treat or reduce their appearance. We recommend consulting a professional if the spots persist.

FAQ: A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum

August 4, 2025 by Natalie

Your common questions on SkinCeutical's new anti-aging serum, answered.

When it comes to visibly reversing the signs of time, few products blend innovation and elegance quite like SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum. Crafted to address the loss of elasticity, firmness, and radiance, this concentrated formula is the answer to one of skin’s most complex concerns: glycation. In this FAQ, we explore the science behind the serum, how to incorporate it into your ritual, and why it’s becoming a staple in high-performance skincare routines.

What does A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum do?

A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum visibly lifts and tightens 4 key facial and neck areas. It is clinically proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and noticeable signs of aging including those linked to Advanced Glycation End-Products (A.G.E.), which occurs when sugar molecules bind to collagen resulting in loss of elasticity.

How long before A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum shows visible results?

A.G.E. Interrupted Ultra serum instantly hydrates skin, and has been tested to deliver clinical anti-aging results after consistent use for at least 4 weeks.

Can A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used every day?

Yes, it is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used twice daily, morning and night.

How do skin-tightening serums work?

Skin-tightening serums, such as A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, help reverse the visible signs of aging associated with glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to collagen fibres in the skin, weakening them and making the skin more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Double-patented A.G.E. Serum technology supports collagen synthesis to maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity for a lifted look on key areas.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with retinol?

Yes, you can use a lifting serum like A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing retinol. It is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be applied at night after a retinol formula.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with hyaluronic acid?

Yes, you can use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing hyaluronic acid. It works synergistically with hyaluronic acid in lifting and volumizing.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with vitamin C?

Yes, you can use a face-firming serum like A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing vitamin C, including CE Ferulic. If using A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum in the morning, it is recommended that it is applied after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and before sunscreen.

GrenzCine just got a new face!

November 10, 2025August 17, 2021 by Etiket

If you’re an avid Vivier customer, or new to the brand and looking to build a routine around the Face Cream, here is a routine we believe is ideal for battling signs of aging.

If you’re a fan of Vivier, the Montreal-based skincare brand, then you’re most likely familiar with their GrenzCine range. Touted as an advanced and concentrated skincare range, GrenzCine includes a serum, an eye cream, a neck cream, a body cream, and now a face cream!

This line is all about thickening the skin from the outside in and boosting collagen from the inside out. While the line has been a success with our customer’s here at Etiket, there has been a need for a moisturizer that complements the GrenzCine routine. That is where Face Cream comes in!

GrenzCine Face is an advanced and concentrated face cream that hydrates and firms the skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and increasing luminosity. It is formulated with Vivier’s innovative GrenzCine technology which combines the power of Polyamine-DAB, Vitamin C and Activ8 Complex for a multi-layer and multi-function approach to aging skin.

Consider this the perfect addition to your Vivier routine. This cream is designed to deeply nourish and restore the skin. A hydrating anti-aging cream, this moisturizer also works well for oily, acne-prone skin. Use morning and night, over serum and before retinol.

If you’re an avid Vivier consumer, or are new to the brand and looking to build a routine around the Face Cream, here is a routine we believe is ideal for battling signs of aging.

CLEANSER

Start off your routine with a clean base. An often overlooked step, cleansing is essential to a good skincare routine. In fact, if you start off with skin that isn’t clean, your products won’t penetrate as well as they would on a clean surface. In the store, we often recommend a gentle cleanser as they are suitable for most skin types. Hexam Cleanser from Vivier is ideal for all skin types. It’s a great one to reach for at night when you’re looking to get the day off your face.

TONER

An often forgotten step, a toner is great for nourishing the skin with antioxidant and hydrating properties, as well as for rebalancing the skin’s pH. The Refreshing Toner can also be used as a face mist throughout the day. On hot days like the ones we’re experiencing this week in Montreal, the Refreshing Toner is a welcomed break from the heat!

SERUM

After cleansing and toning, it’s time to apply your corrective serum. The GrenzCine serum uses Polyamine-DAB and Vitamin C to address skin concerns from the inside-out and the outside-in. It leaves skin more luminous and youthful-looking, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving elasticity. If you’re looking to address signs of aging, this is the serum for you!

MOISTURIZERS

Next up is an eye cream! One of the first places we notice signs of aging is around the eyes… and the neck and hands. GrenzCine Eye, with the same Polyamine-DAB and Vitamin C blend, is specially formulated for the skin on the eyelids and around the eyes. It helps increase the thickness and firmness of the skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and increasing moisture and luminosity.

This is where Vivier’s new launch fits in! Ideally, you would use the GrenzCine Face after your eye cream and before your sunscreen in the morning and retinol at night.

SUNSCREEN

If you haven’t been told yet, allow us to be the first ones to break the news to you: wearing sunscreen every. single. day is crucial to healthy, ageless skin. Not only can it protect you from skin cancer, but it will also protect you from early signs of aging. The Sheer SPF 30 Mineral Tinted sunscreen from Vivier is quite popular, mostly because of its light texture and subtle tint. Keep your skin protected from the sun, while providing it with an instant summer glow!

RETINOL

Another must in a skincare routine: Retinol. It is a powerful ingredient, so if your skin can take it, we highly recommend incorporating it. A vitamin A derivative, retinol increases collagen production as well as increases the rate of skin cell turnover, which is what you want as you age. This results in a more luminous, wrinkle-free and even acne-free complexion. The Retinol 1% Night Complex from Vivier is a popular one at Etiket. It’s also quite strong, which is why Vivier recommends applying it after your moisturizer.

10 Benefits of Beauty Oils

Is your skin dehydrated?

July 28, 2025August 16, 2016 by Etiket

At this time of the year, summer sun, heat, salt water and chlorine can play havoc with our skin leaving it dehydrated. Our natural moisture levels get depleted, which ends up leaving our skin not only feeling dry and rough but looking that way too. There are steps to take to help restore balance and have healthy skin.

CLEANSE

We hear so much about using the right cleanser and our goal is always to prepare the skin for the next step in our skin care regimen and to make sure we keep the PH balanced. If your skin is feeling dry then use a gentle or moisturizing cleanser is the first step. Never use a hand soap or one that is not made specifically for the face. We also like the new trend that starts with an oil based cleanser to first remove any makeup, dirt and pollution before going to the next step of cleansing with a gentle or moisturizing cleanser.

TONE

Toners, like cleansers, help to prepare the skin and balance the PH before applying any serums or moisturizers. We are not talking about those alcohol based toners we may remember from when we were young and dealing with acne, we are talking about toners that truly help to prepare the skin for the next layer in your skin care regimen. It only takes a few mists, or depending on the toner, applying with your fingers, not a cotton pad, which will absorb the product, on to your skin. Let the toner settle before the next step.

MOISTURIZE

Moisturizers should have antioxidants, and ingredients that help skin hold on to water, skin-repairing ingredients, and/or anti-inflammatory ingredients. You will find many different options but one ingredient that we love is Hyaluronic Acid. This natural humectant is capable of retaining 1,000X its own natural weight in water, making it a high potency ingredient in skin care.

Another option are Face Oils, these oils, derived from plants, usually also have antioxidant properties. You may use a few drops on their own and apply them after you moisturize, or mix them into your sunscreen or moisturizer.

SUNSCREEN

We are repeatedly told about the importance of using sunscreen. It helps to protect us from skin cancer but it also helps to slow down the aging process. Sun damage slowly makes your skin less and less able to hold moisture. Make sure to apply enough sunscreen and to reapply every two hours. With makeup, most of us will never reapply and that is why we always suggest a mineral makeup powder that will help us to keep the SPF factor high all day long.

EXFOLIATE

Healthy skin naturally exfoliates, but with dry skin or sun-damaged skin, we need to help the process. Either an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or a BHA ( beta hydroxy acid), depending on your skin type and skin concerns, will help exfoliate the skin and remove old skin cells to let the skin rejuvenate. Using these products overnight will help give you fresher, smoother skin in the morning. Once or twice a week is enough, but listen to your skin to see what works best for you. More is not always better.

If you are not sure of the right products for your skin, find a skin care specialist who can answer your questions. We believe in making skin health the goal.
