Skin Cycling, a new beauty trend, is said to provide radiant, beautiful, and healthy skin. But what is Skin Cycling? Does the trend deliver what it promises? Dr. Tamara Kopp from JUVENIS in Vienna discusses this new skincare trend in the current issue of the magazine Woman.

What is Skin Cycling?

The currently popular care method was developed by US dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe. This routine, designed for the evening, aims to get the best possible results from the skin. For 4 days the skin is treated after cleansing with different products:

  • Exfoliation Night: Peeling product
  • Retinoid Night: Product with retinol
  • 2 Recovery Nights: Products to strengthen and soothe

Interview in the magazine Woman with Dr. Tamara Kopp

Dr. Tamara Kopp has taken a close look at this new trend and finds it smart: the alternation between active and recovery phases is very good, the method is simple and concise and therefore very appealing.

With Skin Cycling the creams contain familiar ingredients; only the cyclical process is new.

But caution: this care method cannot solve all skin problems. Patients with acne or atopic dermatitis must be careful, because an excess of retinol or exfoliation can lead to irritant eczema, a flare-up of atopic dermatitis, or perioral dermatitis. People with sensitive or dry skin (e.g. with late-onset acne) should still seek advice from a dermatologist beforehand.
