Description

Core 4 Protocol

Daily Tone, Texture + Radiance System

The Core 4 Protocol is a high-performance daily routine for dull, uneven, textured, or tired-looking skin. Built around C20 + FE, Advanced AX5, Y.E.S.S.®, and NutraMoist, this four-product system supports brightness, clarity, smoother-looking texture, and a more refined glow.

For patients, it creates a simple AM/PM structure that removes routine guesswork and gives each step a clear role: antioxidant support by day, corrective renewal by night, and lightweight moisture support in both routines. For practices, it offers an easy-to-recommend protocol for patients who need a more complete approach to tone, texture, radiance, discoloration, and visible skin quality.

Cleanser and SPF are routine anchors and should be used as directed. The included products are the four corrective and moisturizing steps that power the protocol: C20 + FE, Advanced AX5, Y.E.S.S.®, and NutraMoist.

Who it’s for

This protocol is ideal for skin that looks:

Dull
Uneven
Textured
Tired-looking
Discoloration-prone
Post-breakout marked
Low-radiance
Pore-visible
Early aging-prone
Ready for a more active routine

What it does

Supports a brighter, smoother, more even-looking complexion through a structured AM/PM routine.

Creates a clear daily protocol for tone, texture, clarity, and radiance
Uses C20 + FE for daytime antioxidant support and visible brightness
Uses Advanced AX5 to target the look of dark spots, dullness, pores, and rough texture
Uses Y.E.S.S.® to support nightly renewal, smoother texture, and visible age support
Uses NutraMoist to moisturize while reinforcing brightness and antioxidant care
Helps patients build a more consistent corrective skincare routine
Gives practices an easy protocol to recommend for multi-concern skin
Supports best visible improvements with consistent 8–12 week use

Why this protocol matters

Most patients do not need another random product. They need a routine that makes sense.

Skin that looks dull, uneven, marked, or textured usually needs more than one corrective pathway. A basic moisturizer may not be enough. A single brightening serum may not address texture. A retinol alone may not give the daytime antioxidant support patients need to build a more complete routine.

The Core 4 Protocol organizes the routine into clear daily roles. Morning care focuses on antioxidant defense, brightness, moisture, and SPF. Evening care focuses on tone correction, resurfacing, retinol-based renewal, and hydration. That structure makes the routine easier to follow and easier for providers to explain.

4 Corrective daily-use products

AM + PM Clear routine structure

8–12 Weeks Best visible improvement window with consistent use

What’s inside

Four products. One complete tone, texture, and radiance protocol.

Each product plays a defined role in helping skin look brighter, smoother, clearer, and more refined over time.

AM C20 + FE20% L-Ascorbic Acid Antioxidant Serum

A potent, waterless vitamin C serum formulated with 20% L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, and Vitamin E to support brighter-looking tone, antioxidant defense, and a more radiant complexion. In this protocol, C20 + FE anchors the morning routine by helping skin look fresher, more even, and better supported against daily environmental stress.

PM Advanced AX510% Tranexamic Acid Multi-Acid Brightening Solution

A high-performance resurfacing and tone-correcting solution built around 10% tranexamic acid and a five-acid support system. In this protocol, Advanced AX5 helps target the look of uneven tone, stubborn discoloration, dullness, rough texture, visible pores, and surface buildup.

PM Y.E.S.S.®All-Trans Retinol + TCA Nightly Renewal Serum

A clinically tested nightly renewal serum featuring 1.0% micro-encapsulated All-Trans Retinol and Trichloroacetic Acid. In this protocol, Y.E.S.S.® supports smoother-looking texture, visible age support, tone refinement, and a more polished-looking complexion with consistent evening use.

AM
PM NutraMoist5% L-Ascorbic Acid Daily Moisturizer

A daily antioxidant moisturizer formulated with 5% L-Ascorbic Acid and barrier-aware hydration support. In this protocol, NutraMoist helps maintain moisture, support brightness, soften the look of uneven texture, and keep the routine comfortable as skin builds tolerance to the corrective evening steps.

Application

A simple AM/PM routine built for consistency.

AM: Cleanse → C20 + FE → NutraMoist → SPF
PM: Cleanse → Advanced AX5 → Y.E.S.S.® → NutraMoist
Start slowly with the evening corrective steps and increase use as skin builds tolerance
Use SPF every morning, especially when using exfoliating acids and retinol-based products
Use as directed by your skincare provider if this protocol is part of a professional treatment plan

What to expect

Early glow first. Best visible improvements with consistent use.

Most users can expect early brightness and hydration first, followed by smoother-looking texture in 2–4 weeks. Best visible improvements in tone, radiance, clarity, and overall refinement are typically seen with consistent 8–12 week use.

Because this protocol includes active brightening, exfoliating, and retinol-based steps, tolerance matters. Start slowly, avoid layering with unnecessary aggressive actives, and use daily SPF.
