PROTOCOL

Structured routines designed around formulation logic, skin physiology, and cosmetic compatibility.

XAGE protocols organize products by functional role and application order, supporting optimal use, tolerance, and cumulative cosmetic performance.

FUNCTIONAL FORMULATIONS

Hydration Priming Systems

Low-viscosity formulations designed to support immediate hydration, improve surface receptivity, and prepare the skin for subsequent products. Formulated to maintain pH balance and enhance overall routine compatibility.

Targeted Aqueous Systems

Lightweight, water-based formulations designed to deliver precision-selected actives with high skin compatibility. Optimised for rapid absorption and integration into daily routines without surface overload.

Lipid Continuity Concentrates

Targeted oil-based formulations composed of biologically compatible lipids to support surface resilience, suppleness, and long-term comfort. Intended for controlled use within layered routines.

Localized Functional Treatments

Concentrated formulations developed for specific areas of concern. Designed to integrate gradually into routines addressing tone irregularities, dehydration, or textural imbalance.

Barrier Support Emulsions

Balanced emulsions formulated to support hydration retention and surface comfort. Designed to reinforce the skin’s lipid structure while maintaining a refined, non-occlusive finish.

Photoprotection Systems

Broad-spectrum sunscreen formulations designed to support daily protection against UV exposure. Engineered for cosmetic wearability, skin comfort, and compatibility with layered skincare routines.

DAY PROTOCOL

CLEANSING

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin.

HYDRATION PRIMING

Apply toner to balance pH levels and enhance absorption.

FUNCTIONAL SERUM

Target specific concerns with concentrated active ingredients.

MOISTURISER

A balanced emulsion replenishes lipids, supports hydration retention, and prepares the skin surface for sunscreen.

SUN PROTECTION

Broad-spectrum sunscreen is the final step of the morning protocol.

NIGHT PROTOCOL

1

CLEANSING Removes accumulated particulate matter, excess sebum, and residual formulations without disrupting intercellular lipids.

2

HYDRATION PRIMING A humectant-focused layer increases water availability within the stratum corneum, improving flexibility and supporting subsequent active distribution.

3

FUNCTIONAL SERUM Apply a formulation designed to address visible concerns such as fine lines, uneven tone, or textural irregularities.

4

LIPID SEAL Finish with an emulsion or oil-based product to reduce transepidermal water loss and improve overnight skin comfort.
