Spring Skin Transformation Bundle

After four months of cold, wind and heavy occlusives, skin arrives in spring in a specific state: dull, textured, congested, and carrying pigmentation that went unaddressed all winter. Cell turnover has slowed. The barrier is depleted. What's needed now isn't more comfort — it's controlled renewal.

The dr.dermal® Spring Skin Transformation Bundle is a complete four-product resurfacing protocol, built to take winter-compromised skin through a full renewal cycle across eight to twelve weeks. Each product has been selected to work synergistically with the others across a structured AM and PM routine.

This is a system, not a selection. The cleanser clears the accumulated dead-cell layer so actives can penetrate. The morning antioxidant protects newly resurfaced skin through the spring UV climb. The evening treatments correct pigmentation and drive the cellular renewal that produces lasting structural change.

What's Included

• Glycolic Resurfacing Cleanser (100ml) — R695
  Removes the accumulated dead-cell layer left behind by winter, allowing everything applied afterwards to work effectively.
• IntenCE Antioxidant Plasma (30ml) — R1,299
  Morning antioxidant defence. Protects freshly resurfaced skin against rising spring UV while supporting brightness and clarity.
• AzeClear 20 Serum (30ml) — R795
  Evening correction. 20% Azelaic Acid addresses post-inflammatory pigmentation, redness and congestion simultaneously.
• Retinal Repair (30ml) — R1,199
  The renewal engine. Retinaldehyde drives cell turnover and collagen synthesis — the structural work behind lasting change.

Individual value: R3,988. Bundle price: R2,995.
A saving of almost R1,000.

Available from R499 per month over six months, interest free, with Stitch Express at checkout.

The Protocol

Morning

1. Glycolic Resurfacing Cleanser — massage onto damp skin, rinse thoroughly.
2. IntenCE Antioxidant Plasma — apply to clean, dry skin.
3. Your moisturiser, followed by broad-spectrum SPF.

Evening

1. Glycolic Resurfacing Cleanser — massage onto damp skin, rinse thoroughly.
2. AzeClear 20 Serum — apply to clean, dry skin.
3. Retinal Repair — apply as the final step (see introduction guidance below).

How To Introduce It

This protocol contains a retinoid and two acids. Introducing all four products at full frequency from day one will overwhelm most skin. Follow the guidance below according to your current tolerance.

If your skin is sensitive or reactive, or you are new to retinoids

• Weeks 1–2: Glycolic cleanser in the morning only; rinse with water in the evening. IntenCE each morning. AzeClear each evening. Do not begin Retinal Repair yet.
• Weeks 3–4: Introduce Retinal Repair two evenings per week, on nights you skip AzeClear.
• Weeks 5–8: Increase Retinal Repair to three evenings per week, continuing to alternate with AzeClear. Do not use both on the same evening.
• If stinging occurs: apply your moisturiser first, then Retinal Repair over it, to buffer.

If you have some experience with active ingredients

• Week 1: Glycolic cleanser twice daily. IntenCE each morning. AzeClear most evenings, with Retinal Repair two evenings per week on alternate nights.
• Weeks 2–4: Increase Retinal Repair to three or four evenings per week.
• Week 5 onward: If fully comfortable, layer on the same evening — AzeClear first, wait 10–15 minutes, then Retinal Repair.

If you already use a retinoid nightly

• Alternate AzeClear and Retinal Repair from the first evening.
• Progress to same-evening layering from week two — AzeClear first, wait 10–15 minutes, then Retinal Repair.
• Continue nightly as tolerated.

What To Expect

• Week 1: Immediate smoothness and brightness from resurfacing, then a quiet period. This is normal.
• Weeks 2–3: Mild dryness and light flaking are expected. Skin may look slightly worse before it improves. Congestion-prone skin may purge.
• Weeks 4–6: Texture visibly improves, dullness lifts, pigmentation begins to lighten.
• Weeks 8–12: Structural change — improved firmness, softened fine lines, continued pigmentation correction.

Purging appears in areas you normally break out and resolves. Breakouts in areas you do not normally break out indicate a reaction — reduce frequency.

Hero Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid — the smallest alpha hydroxy acid, allowing efficient penetration to accelerate exfoliation and refine surface texture
• 20% Azelaic Acid — a multifunctional dicarboxylic acid that addresses pigmentation, inflammation and congestion simultaneously, with excellent tolerability
• Retinaldehyde — an advanced Vitamin A derivative one conversion step from retinoic acid; more efficient than retinol, better tolerated than prescription retinoids
• Bio-available Vitamin C triple antioxidant — antioxidant defence against free radical damage, with brightening and collagen-supporting benefits
• Niacinamide — supports barrier function, helps regulate oil, and improves the appearance of uneven tone

Ideal For

• Dull, rough or textured skin following winter
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation and uneven tone
• Congestion and enlarged-looking pores
• Early signs of ageing and loss of firmness
• Anyone wanting a structured protocol rather than individual products

Important

• Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential throughout this protocol and is not included in this bundle. Resurfacing without sun protection will worsen pigmentation rather than improve it. We recommend UV Guard 50 (R495), sold separately.
• Retinal Repair not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the retinoid content.
• Not recommended for active eczema, rosacea flares, broken or compromised skin.
• Introduce one active at a time and follow the guidance above.
• Discontinue and reassess if persistent burning, spreading redness or swelling occurs.

Suitable For

✔ Normal Skin  ✔ Combination Skin  ✔ Oily Skin  ✔ Congestion-Prone  ✔ Pigmentation  ✔ Uneven Texture  ✔ Early Ageing
