Natural Care Notes

Introducing one new product at a time can make it easier to observe how your skin responds. Trying a new skincare product can be exciting. Maybe you finally found a cleanser you've been curious about, a moisturizer that looks right for your skin type, or a serum with an ingredient you've never used before. But here's the thing: your skin doesn't need you to change everything overnight. When you add several new products at once, it becomes difficult to tell what your skin likes—and what it doesn't.

You may have seen phrases like “salmon DNA skincare,” “salmon sperm facial,” or “PDRN” all over social media and wondered: what exactly are people putting on their faces?
