FOUR STEPS, ONE RITUAL. THE COMPLETE FRENCH SKINCARE SYSTEM 

Bakuchiol, Niacinamide (x2 Eye Contour + Cream), Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C), Caffeine, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Zinc PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate (x2), Squalane (x2), Calcium Sodium
Borosilicate.

THE COMPLETE RITUAL - MORNING AND EVENING

1.  CLEANSE - Radiance Mousse. One pump on damp
fingertips. Gentle circular motions, 30-60 seconds. Rinse with lukewarm water.

The circular motion activates enzymatic release. On still skin, the formula cleanses but does not fully exfoliate.

2.  TARGET - Illuminate Eye Contour. Small amount on ring finger. Tap gently along the orbital bone --- inner corner, under the eye, above the brow bone, back. Full circle.

Tapping, not rubbing. The patting motion activates caffeine absorption without pulling the thinnest skin on your face.

3.  NOURISH - Radiance Face Oil. 3-4 drops oslightly damp skin. Press with open palms. Do not rub. Let absorb 30 seconds.

Damp skin is essential. Water acts as a vehicle --- the oil penetrates faster and deeper when skin is not fully dry.

 4.  SEAL - Radiance Face Cream. Small amount across face and neck. Press gently. Let settle 60 seconds.

The cream seals the oil. Applied last, it locks in the botanicals and prevents moisture loss. Oil first, cream second this sequence is not interchangeable.

Morning: follow Step 4 with SPF. The Vitamin C in the Cream is photostable, but sun protection maximizes brightening results.

Evening: the ritual is identical. The Bakuchiol in the Oil works overnight without photosensitivity.

THE RITUAL TIMELINE

D1 = Skin feels cleaner and clearer after the first cleanse. Eye area appears smoother (soft-focus minerals). Face Oil gives an instant glow. Cream leaves skin sealed, comfortable, non-greasy.

D7 = +37% hydration around the eye area. +42% hydration on the face. Dehydration lines visibly diminished. Puffiness reduced. Skin texture begins to refine. Serums and makeup sit differently.

 D21-28 = Bakuchiol effect builds. Fine lines appear softer. Dark circles begin to lighten. Tone becomes more even. Radiance is consistent, not just post-application. The alpine botanicals and Niacinamide compound their brightening effect.

D42+ = The full system result. Complexion is visibly clearer, brighter, calmer. Barrier feels stronger, skin retains moisture longer. Firmness improved. The kind of change that others notice before you explain it.

What is the difference between buying the set and buying the products individually?

Same products, same formulations, same sizes. The French Ritual Set saves you 10% and qualifies for free shipping. Beyond the price: the set is designed as an entry point. One decision instead of four. If you are new to Clique Beauty, this is where to start.

Do I need all four products, or can I start with one?

Each product is formulated to work independently. But the ritual is designed as a
sequence, each step amplifies the next. The Mousse prepares absorption. The Eye Contour delivers targeted actives before oils barrier the zone. The Oil feeds. The Cream seals. Used together, the results compound. You can start with one, but the system is where the real difference happens.

Is this set suitable for sensitive skin?

The Mousse uses AHAs at daily-use concentrations, balanced by Allantoin and organic Calendula. The Eye Contour is fragrance-free. The Oil uses Bakuchiol, which causes no irritation or photosensitivity. The Cream contains soothing alpine botanicals. For very reactive skin: introduce one product at a time over two
weeks, starting with the Cream, then the Oil, then the Eye Contour, then the Mousse.

How long will the full set last?

With twice-daily use of the complete ritual: the Mousse lasts approximately 6-8 weeks, the Eye Contour 8-10 weeks, the Face Oil 6-8 weeks, and the Face Cream 6-8 weeks. The Eye Contour lasts longest because the eye area requires very small amounts.

Can I use these products with retinol?

Yes. None of the four products contain retinol. The Bakuchiol in the Face Oil is a plant-based alternative that works through a different pathway. All four products, including the Vitamin C and Niacinamide in the Cream are compatible with retinol applied in other steps of your routine.

What skin types is this ritual for?

The ritual was formulated for all skin types.

For oily or combination skin: the Mousse's Zinc PCA regulates sebum, the Oil's Hazelnut and Jojoba balance without adding shine, the Cream's organic Corn Starch mattifies.

For dry skin: the Oil's 13 botanical oils and the Cream's Shea Butter provide deep nourishment. For mature skin: Bakuchiol, Vitamin C, and Niacinamide target fine lines, firmness, and tone.

Is this a good gift?

Yes. The French Ritual Set is a complete skincare system, no guessing about what pairs with what. Every product is full-size. The recipient starts with a coherent routine, not a random assortment.
