Nicola Kilner´s Morning Routine
- Start by cleansing your skin. The video shows Nicola Kilner using Hylamide Cleanser, which has now been discontinued. You can find other cleansers here.
- After cleansing, apply Copper Amino Isolate Serum. 2 or 3 drops is all you need for your face and neck.
- Next, apply 2 or 3 drops of Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex.
- Then add a drop of Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate to your fingertip and massage around the eye area, including the upper lids.
- Nicola Kilner also uses a drop of The Ordinary Caffeine Solution around the eye area.
- Finally, Nicola Kilner finishes with NIOD S30 Survival 30, which is NIOD´s SPF.
Nicola Kilner Evening Routine
- In the evening, you would start with cleansed skin.
- Then, apply 2/3 drops of Copper Amino Isolate Serum to dry skin.
- Follow with 2 or 3 drops of Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex.
- Finish with Non-acid Acid Precursor. Just 2 or 3 drops is all you need, but if you feel you need more, then add more.
The Ordinary & NIOD Cleansers
The Hylamide Cleanser in the video has been discontinued, but don´t worry because there are currently 5 cleansers to choose from between The Ordinary & NIOD.
Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1
- Copper Amino Isolate Serum can be used AM & PM directly after cleansing.
- There are 2 sizes, 15ml and 30ml.
- A cheaper alternative would be The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum + Copper Peptides.
- Conflicts: direct acids, retinol and strong antioxidants.
Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex
- This has 15 different forms of Hyaluronic compounds.
- For a budget version, try The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid or The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics.
- Apply a few drops in the morning and/or evening after cleansing the skin.
Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate
- Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate was voted one of the best NIOD products by members of the Facebook Group.
- This targets visible ageing (both upper eyelids and lower eyelids), including the looks of dynamic lines, static lines, fine superficial under-eye lines, loss of elasticity, dark circles, puffiness and textural unevenness
- Use morning and evening.
- Read the instructions for this product before using it. Patch testing is recommended.
- If you already have an eye serum/cream, continue to use it alongside the other products in this regimen. For a cheaper eye product, look at The Ordinary Caffeine Solution.
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution
- Reduces the look of puffiness and dark circles.
- Use it in the morning and/or evening.
- Just a drop under and around each eye should be enough.
- If you already have an eye product, continue to use it—no need to buy a new one.
Non-acid Acid Precursor
- NAAP gives skin visible radiance and visible surface regularity without the redness and inflammation associated with acids
- Use this preferably at night time.
- Apply a few drops to your face, avoiding the eye area.
- Use this product after water-based products like CAIS or MMHC2. If you are using NIOD ELAN, apply this after.
- Always patch test!
NIOD S30 Survival 30*
- NIOD Survival 30 is the NIOD sun cream range.
- Always read the directions on the NIOD website for how to apply.
* Nicola Kilner´s Regimen Using Antioxidants with Copper Peptides
Throughout Slowvember, Deciem shared routines and information about products and conflicts. Conflicts included using Antioxidants and Copper Peptides in the same routine.
“In your last video with Nicola Kilner, I saw a routine where she uses NIOD Survival 3o after NIOD CAIS, but Deciem said not to use Copper Peptides with strong antioxidants. “
Answer: “Generally, we do not recommend combining Copper peptides in the same routine as our NIOD Survival range due to the susceptibility of the antioxidant reacting with the copper ions. However, our recommendation takes into consideration new users and the subjectivity of skin tolerance. If you have previously combined strong antioxidants with copper peptides and have not experienced any discolouration or negative side effects, and you are happy with the results, you may continue to combine the products as so. We recommend doing a patch test prior to full application on the face should you decide to use the two products together. We hope this helps!“
