Jo's Menopause Skin Support System
This kit is a complete, evidence-based regimen designed to address the unique needs of skin during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal shifts can trigger increased dryness, uneven tone, and accelerated signs of ageing — this system works to counter these changes with proven, active ingredients. The kit is available in two options so you can choose the routine best suited to your skin.
Soothe & Melt Cleansing Balm — Gently removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while preserving moisture, leaving skin comfortable and refreshed.
Hydraboost — A multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum that delivers deep, lasting hydration to plump, smooth, and improve elasticity, countering the dryness and loss of volume common during hormonal changes.
C Forte (standard) or Gentle Glow (sensitive variant)
-
C Forte – A 16% L-Ascorbic Acid serum that brightens, reduces pigmentation, and supports collagen production.
-
Gentle Glow – A PHA-based serum that smooths, hydrates, and brightens while reducing fine lines and pigmentation, making it suitable for those who prefer a lower-strength alternative.
Repair+ — A barrier-repairing moisturiser with ceramides, niacinamide, and panthenol to restore hydration, strengthen the barrier, and reduce dryness linked to hormonal shifts.
Zinc Shade — A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen with zinc oxide to defend against UV damage and prevent further pigmentation.
Ultimate Gold (0.1% retinal, standard) or Ultimate A (0.06% retinal, sensitive variant)
-
Ultimate A Gold – delivers a higher concentration of Retinaldehyde (0.1%) for powerful cell turnover, collagen stimulation, and fine-line reduction — ideal for those accustomed to Vitamin A.
*Ultimate A Gold (Retinal) may transfer onto white or light-coloured fabrics. For best results, we recommend using darker clothing or surfaces to avoid visible marks.
-
Ultimate A – Retinaldehyde 0.06% to deliver similar anti-ageing benefits at a gentler strength, ideal for those who prefer a lower concentration.
Both versions help skin remain hydrated, firm, and evenly toned throughout perimenopause and menopause. The Standard Kit is best for those comfortable with higher-strength actives, while the Sensitive Kit provides a more balanced option without compromising results.
Description
Balance hormonal changes with this system of evidence-based products that hydrate, brighten and strengthen your skin.
Evidence
Retinal
Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.
Vitamin E (α-Tocopherol)
Vitamin E is a well-studied antioxidant commonly used in skincare to help support an even-looking skin tone and maintain the appearance of healthy skin. It is often included in formulations alongside other ingredients, such as Vitamin C, for complementary benefits.
L-Ascorbic Acid
Also known as Vitamin C, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a well-studied antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and supports smoother-looking skin.
Emerging evidence
Ceramides
Emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides support the skin’s surface and help maintain hydration and the appearance of a healthy skin barrier.
Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.
Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight, saturated oil that’s naturally found in human sebum. It’s clear, odourless, and exceptionally stable. In skincare, squalane functions as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It also assists in maintaining hydration and supports the absorption of other ingredients in a formulation.
Panthenol
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a humectant - meaning it helps attract and hold moisture in the skin. Once absorbed, it’s converted to pantothenic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the skin that supports hydration and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. It’s well tolerated and commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin.
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
