Brightening and Smoothing Routine

May 27, 2026

We’ve teamed up with Oak Essentials Advisory Council Esthetician Julia Barna to create a routine that refines and adds luminosity so skin is brighter and smoother.

Step One: Pure Gel Cleanser

A multi-tasking cleanser that gently lifts away impurities and evens tone while nourishing the skin with Aloe Leaf Juice, revealing a brighter-looking complexion.

Step Two: Renew Face Polish

A gentle-yet-effective exfoliant that helps leave behind a soft, smooth finish while supporting the skin barrier. Biodegradable beads with Smart Skin Technology burst under pressure, helping minimize the risk of over-exfoliation.

Step Three: Daily Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is one of the most effective ingredients for addressing hyperpigmentation. Daily Vitamin C Serum is a potent Vitamin C serum that helps visibly brighten, fade dark spots, and improve signs of aging for a youthful-looking glow. When used during the day, this serum also acts as preventative care, blocking oxidative stress that would provoke even more damage. 


Step Four: Ritual Oil

A lightweight, Vitamin-packed oil backed by the power of Blue Tansy that helps support skin's natural moisture barrier and soothes skin for a balanced, healthier-looking complexion. Gentle enough for reactive or compromised skin, it works on a cellular level to help visibly calm and soothe without disrupting hydration.

Step Five: Hydra Eye Balm

Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and dark circles by smoothing and hydrating the delicate area around the eyes. 


Weekly: Refining Mask

Powered by calming Blue Tansy, Mineral-Rich Deep-Sea Water, and barrier-strengthening Ceramides, this mask helps reduce the look of pores, smooth texture, and blur imperfections — while helping balance oil levels for a fresh, lightly hydrated finish. Use after cleansing and prior to skincare application. Use 1-2x weekly.


Bonus: Dew Body Butter

This deeply moisturizing formula helps smooth the look of crepiness and improve the appearance of sun damage for a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion with each use.
