Over the past few years, it seems like we’ve tried it all.

From exclusive clinic-only skincare, to ordering MECCA faves online or picking up convenient chemist alternatives on-the-go, the choices are endless when it comes to looking after our complexion.

But are all formulas created equal? 

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, innovative breakthroughs constantly emerge, each new offering promising the elusive elixir of radiant, youthful skin. One such innovation that has been gaining momentum in recent years is encapsulated skincare. This revolutionary way of delivering highly potent ingredients—with minimal irritation or damage to the skin—promises targeted and effective solutions for a variety of skin concerns.

To delve deeper into the world of encapsulated skincare and demystify its potential, we got the wrap from Dr. Garry Cussell, visionary Founder of Rejuvaus Skincare & Rejuvenation Clinics of Australia. At the forefront of this emerging forumlation, Dr. Cussell possesses decades of experience and a passion for cutting-edge skincare, and shares with us his insights on encapsulated skincare.

What benefits come from using encapsulated skincare vs. regular actives?

Most skincare formulations in practice only have one or sometimes two active ingredients, and these are often in low strength because sudden release into the skin may be overwhelming and cause reactivity, sensitisation or peeling.

Encapsulation and the slow and gradual release of active ingredient allows the utilisation of much stronger ingredients and higher concentrations with formulation, without any adverse reactions.

It is the reason why in Rejuvaus, we are able to use so many multiple actives in such a very strong and high concentration, also combined with many other ingredients, that are well-tolerated and do not produce any untoward side-effects.

It obviously makes these actives much more effective, due to regular ongoing release throughout the 8 to 12 hours of the daytime, and the 8 to 12 hours of the night-time.

Is there an ideal aM/ pm skincare routine that IS recommendED FOR BEST RESULTS?

The answer is yes. Our recommendation for using the Rejuvaus products is that each product can be used singly for a beneficial effect, or combine together with several other creams and serums, even all mixed together.

The reason is that the serums are all blended synergistically, and do not clash with one another, and most importantly, they are suitable for all skin types. That is, they can be used equally effective on an ageing, dry skin, an oily, or acne-prone skin, a pigmented complexion, or even on a sensitive skin condition like rosacea.

We recommend everyone uses a gentle fruit acid exfoliating cleanser, twice daily. Then apply the AHA/BHA serum (Clarify & Renew), together with the antioxidant serums and/or pigment serum and/or the Growth Factor or Collagen Peptide serum. These can be done twice daily, and in the morning should be followed by the i . Solar Protect & Restore serum.
