With the first sunny days, you feel your skin dehydrated and dull after the cold and the freezing days. Your complexion is dim. The transition to the warm season requires the right ingredients, applied in the precise order. Notino has launched two formulas with which you can build a complete routine, morning and evening, calibrated exactly for what’s coming: more sun, more light, more need for protection.
Why does skin texture change in spring?
Winter has demanded more from the skin barrier than any other season: dry indoor air, low temperatures, sudden temperature changes between outside and inside. The result: a complexion that looks tired, with apparently larger pores, more pronounced fine lines and reduced luminosity. Spring brings something else: more intense UV radiation, airborne allergens, humidity variations. The skin goes from one stress to another if the barrier is not restored in time, the entire summer routine will work at half capacity.
The solution? It is a combination of proven ingredients, administered in layers, in the order that maximises absorption and efficacy. Ceramides restore the barrier. Hyaluronic acid hydrates. Niacinamide evens out. Peptides stimulate collagen. Vitamin C protects against free radicals. Panthenol soothes. Postbiotics balance the microbiome. In this context, our recommendation is the anti-aging cream with peptides, vitamin C and ceramides from Notino for both the morning and evening routine.
The first formula from Notino’s own line directly addresses skin aging through a complex of active ingredients that work at multiple levels simultaneously. The cream is designed for dual use morning and evening which makes it practical for a simplified routine, without compromising efficacy.
And we don’t stop here, because we have one more suggestion for your spring routine. Also from the Notino skincare line, the moisturising cream with ceramides and postbiotics: the foundation on which everything is built. The second Notino formula takes a different approach: it comes to restore and maintain the foundation on which any routine works well. Why? Because it is a moisturising cream with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol and an ingredient that appears increasingly often in advanced formulas: postbiotics.
Did you know that the skin microbiome is currently one of the most studied subjects in dermatology? Skin with a balanced microbiome defends itself better, recovers faster and ages more slowly.
Postbiotics are inactive metabolites resulting from the fermentation of beneficial bacteria. Unlike probiotics (live microorganisms, difficult to stabilise in cosmetic formulas) and prebiotics (nutritive substances for bacteria), postbiotics are stable, well-tolerated and act directly: they strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation and support microbiome balance without introducing live microorganisms. During a period of seasonal transition when temperature and humidity changes destabilise the microbiome this action becomes essential.
The ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol in this formula complement and amplify the action of the postbiotics: they restore the barrier, hydrate, soothe, even out. It is a cream that works excellently on its own, but also as a base layer under the anti-aging cream or under SPF.
How do you build your spring routine with the two creams?
The logic is simple: the moisturising cream prepares and protects the barrier, the anti-aging cream adds targeted action on aging and luminosity. They are complementary, not competing.
Morning: gentle cleansing, the moisturising cream with ceramides and postbiotics (or directly the anti-aging cream if you opt for a single product), followed obligatorily by SPF 30+. The vitamin C in the anti-aging cream amplifies the protective effect of the sun filter — this is a combination supported in the specialist literature.
Evening: cleansing, toner (optional), the anti-aging cream with peptides and vitamin C applied to the entire face, neck and décolletage. If the skin is very dehydrated or sensitised by the seasonal transition, you can apply the moisturising cream with ceramides as an occlusive layer on top a technique called “slugging light”, particularly suitable for dry skin types.
Both formulas are designed to work together and cover the skin’s needs throughout the day one stabilises the microbiome and maintains the barrier, the other works actively at a cellular level.
Skincare with logic: fewer products, more science
The dominant trend in beauty is intelligent simplification: formulas with multiple effective actives, which reduce the number of products without reducing the benefits. The two Notino creams fit perfectly into this logic.
Spring is the right moment for a routine reset. Your skin has been through a long winter and is now entering a season in which UV radiation increases progressively, external exposure intensifies and outdoor activities return. A strengthened barrier, deep hydration and a supply of antioxidant and regenerating actives are not optional they are the foundation on which your skin functions well for the rest of the year.
