Today’s skincare landscape is defined by excess. Between the crowded vanities, the 12-step routines and a dizzying array of single-ingredient trends, sticking to a simple skincare ritual can feel like a radical act. But the truth is that layering too many products on top of each other can overwhelm your skin and make it more difficult to absorb the nutrients of each individual ingredient.

At Vintner’s Daughter, every skincare formula we design is in service of a bigger picture: creating the most nourishing, powerfully effective, complete skincare routine in as few steps as possible. This routine should feed your skin everything it needs regardless of your concerns  and strengthen your skin for long term results—and it must do so without compromising your time or peace of mind. Our multi-beneficial products are carefully, obsessively made to complement each other and amplify each other’s results, replacing a clutter of barely-effective products with three award-winning formulas that perform beautifully together, utilizing the world’s most nutrient-dense whole plant ingredients. 

The Innovator: Active Renewal Cleanser

THE ROLE: A DOUBLE CLEANSE AND A BRIGHTENING FLASH MASK

The most critically underappreciated step in any skincare regimen, your cleanser is the foundation for the rest of your entire routine. Traditional cleansers often strip the skin barrier in the process of cleaning it, or else leave a film on top of the skin that makes it more difficult for subsequent products to be absorbed. 

Enter Active Renewal Cleanser, an advanced cream formula that completely reimagines what a cleanser can be. It combines the efficacy of a double cleanse in a single illuminating product, combining oil-soluble ingredients and water-soluble ingredients in one. When massaged across damp skin for 30–60 seconds, it effectively removes both oil-based impurities (like makeup and sunscreen) and water-based impurities (like sweat and environmental debris). 

But this product goes far beyond an effective cleanse. Infused with invigorating plant extracts, it energizes your skin, promoting circulation and helping to support collagen production naturally. For days when you are searching for an additional brightening boost, it performs yet another act: simply leave it on for 5–10 minutes and allow it to function as a brightening “flash mask.” It awakens the skin, leaving it feeling bouncy, refreshed and ready to help the rest of your routine work even harder.

The Multi-Hyphenate: Active Treatment Essence

THE ROLE: HYDRATION, EXFOLIATION, NUTRITION AND SO MUCH MORE

Our next step is Active Treatment Essence, a true multi-tasker, capable of replacing up to eight distinct steps in your regimen. Think of it as a “facial in a bottle.” This formula delivers water-soluble nutrition deep into the skin layers. It acts simultaneously as a hydrating toner, a gentle micro-exfoliator (thanks to natural plant acids), a vitamin C serum, a probiotic booster to support a healthy microbiome, a plumping hyaluronic serum, a firming peptide and barrier support serum and a dose of over 70 water-soluble nutrients and over 20 superfoods to nourish your skin in optimal ratios.

After cleansing, spray Active Treatment Essence onto your face and use our signature Push/Press method to aid absorption. This step floods the skin with hydration, plumping, removing dead skin cells and allowing subsequent nutrients to penetrate the skin even more deeply. It is the perfect strategy for long-lasting hydration.

The Icon: Active Botanical Serum

THE ROLE: MOISTURE, NOURISHING PROTECTION AND RADIANCE

For the grand finale, this routine concludes with the product that started a movement: Active Botanical Serum. Known as the most awarded face oil of all time, this cult-favorite luxury face oil provides the lipid-soluble nutrition your skin craves and seals in the nutrients of your entire routine. While our last step, Active Treatment Essence, provided your skin with ultimate hydration, Active Botanical Serum provides ultimate moisture. Formulated with 22 of the world’s most active botanicals—including calendula, alfalfa and dandelion—it is a powerhouse of regenerative phytonutrients.

By warming 5–6 drops in the palms of your hands and then using the Push/Press Method to apply to your skin for maximum absorption, you seal in the hydration and nutrients from your previous steps and fortify the skin moisture barrier. This final step locks in nutrients, defends against environmental stressors and amplifies your natural glow. It is the gold standard for restorative skincare.
