The skincare world can feel overwhelming. With countless serums, boosters, and creams on the market, it’s tempting to try everything at once. But when it comes to your skin, more isn’t always better. Overloading actives can lead to irritation, clogged pores, and a weakened barrier.
Enter skin cycling — a dermatologist-approved, TikTok-famous routine that’s all about rotating skincare actives over a 4-night cycle. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to use potent ingredients like exfoliants, retinol, and niacinamide without overwhelming your skin.
With Vinr’s clean, dermatologist-tested actives — including Salicylic Acid, Retinol, Niacinamide, Rice Water, and Vitamin C — skin cycling becomes simple, safe, and effective.
🔍 What is Skin Cycling?
Skin cycling is a 4-day routine designed to maximize results while minimizing irritation:
-
Night 1: Exfoliation (clear pores, smooth texture)
-
Night 2: Retinoid (boost cell turnover, fight fine lines)
-
Night 3 & 4: Recovery (focus on barrier repair and hydration)
Then repeat. This cycle gives your skin the chance to repair and reset between actives.
