Why does a Larens routine need to be introduced gradually?
Larens cosmeceutics differ from typical drugstore cosmetics in their concentration of active ingredients — sets like the Peptide Basic Beauty Set contain products that are 95% natural, saturated with marine collagen peptides from Biopeptide Complex. That's great news for effectiveness, but it also means that skin — especially skin previously used to other brands' products — needs time to adapt.
The manufacturer's advice is direct: set aside other brands' preparations and introduce Larens cosmetics into your routine gradually. Introducing the full set too quickly increases the risk of irritation, itching or swelling — effects that are easy to avoid with the right order.
Don't start with all products at once. Introduce them one at a time, spaced roughly two weeks apart, starting with cleansing.
The correct application guide — 5 steps
The order below is based on the official usage instructions for the Larens Peptide Basic Beauty Set, which includes five products: a cleansing gel, a toner, a serum spray, an eye serum, and a moisturizing cream.
Cleansing
Introduce as the first product in the set. For the first two weeks use it 3 times a week, in the evening.
After washing your face, rinse off any residue under running water and pat your skin dry with a towel.
Toning
Introduce 2 weeks after starting the set. Initially use it 3 times a week after cleansing, then also add cleansing and toning in the morning (on days when you don't use the set in the evening).
After applying the toner, pat it in with your hands — you may feel a slight tingling, which is normal in the initial phase.
Peptide serum
Use daily, from the very beginning of your routine. It will help skin adjust to the new routine, soothe irritation, and activate protective HSP proteins in the skin.
Eye area care
Start using it 2 weeks after starting the set. Apply a thin layer to the skin around the eye and gently pat it in.
Watch for any irritation — the eye area is the most sensitive.
Deep hydration with an anti-ageing effect
You can use this from the very start of your routine — initially once a day, then both morning and evening.
A skincare routine built on marine collagen peptides requires patience and consistency. Introducing products gradually, following the schedule above, you should observe results — cleaner, more hydrated skin — within a month.
pH table of selected Larens cosmeceutics
A product's pH level affects how it interacts with the skin's hydrolipidic barrier and the order in which it's worth applying it (the "lowest to highest pH" rule can be helpful when layering several active products). Below are the official pH values for selected Larens products.
| Product | pH |
|---|---|
| Biopeptide Serum Spray | 3.0–4.0 |
| Lifting Face Cream | 7.0–8.0 |
| Hydro Balance Face Cream | 4.0–5.0 |
| Repair Gel | 3.5–4.5 |
| Collagen Peptide Face & Body Wash | 4.0–6.0 |
| Face Toner Peptide Basic | 4.5–7.0 |
| Eye Serum Peptide Basic | 6.5–7.5 |
| Hydro Face Cream Peptide Basic | 4.0–5.0 |
| Neuropeptide Serum Eye & More | 5.5–6.5 |
pH data comes from official WellU technical documentation. Values may vary slightly between production batches.
Larens peptide serum has a low pH (3.0–4.5) — close to the skin's natural pH, which supports better tolerance and absorption. Moisturizing creams typically have a higher pH (4.0–8.0), depending on the formula.
What comes after the first month?
After the adaptation period (usually 4 weeks), most people can use the full Larens set daily, morning and evening, without the frequency limits introduced in the first weeks. If you plan to expand your routine with additional products — such as a weekly BioRenew Tissue Face Mask or the Beauty Intensive Duo set with the SYN-AKE neuropeptide — it's worth introducing them one at a time, using the same gradual method.
