The Yon-Ka Paris Guide: Building a Routine for Your Skin

Yon-Ka Paris is a French skincare house known for its phyto-aromatic approach: many of its formulas are infused with Quintessence, the brand's signature blend of essential oils. Here is how our estheticians build a Yon-Ka routine around your skin's needs.

Cleanse and tone

Yon-Ka Cleansing Milk is a 2-in-1 cleanser and eye make-up remover that soothes and softens the skin. Yon-Ka Cleansing Gel is its soft, foamy counterpart, which cleanses while purifying. Follow with Lotion Yon-Ka Invigorating Mist, an alcohol-free toning mist for normal to oily skin that helps absorb excess sebum.

Dehydrated skin: the Hydra No.1 duo

Yon-Ka Hydra No.1 Serum is a creamy, refreshing gel designed for very dehydrated skin, and it boosts hydration when layered under a cream. Pair it with Yon-Ka Hydra N.1 Creme, a comforting cream for dehydrated, dry or sensitive skin that reinforces the moisture barrier and leaves skin soft and supple.

Radiance: Serum C20 and Gommage Yo-Ka

Yon-Ka Serum C20 is built around a stabilized vitamin C of natural origin, dosed at 20%, to visibly correct lack of radiance, wrinkles and dark spots. It is tolerated by all skin types, even sensitive skin. One to three times a week, Yon-Ka Gommage Yo-Ka exfoliates without abrasive grains, gently enough to be used on the eyelids.

Sensitive and redness-prone skin

Yon-Ka Sensitive Creme Anti-Rougeurs uses natural green pigments to neutralize the look of redness instantly, while its calming botanicals help reduce sensitivity over time. For an extra moment of comfort, Yon-Ka Sensitive Masque soothes tightness and irritation in reactive skin.

Oily and blemish-prone skin

Yon-Ka Creme 15 is a lightweight, non-greasy cream that helps regulate excess sebum. Yon-Ka Masque 103, a creamy clay mask, helps clarify the complexion and refine the look of pores, and Yon-Ka SOS Spot Roll-On Blemish Treatment is a portable, alcohol-free rollerball for targeting individual blemishes.

Firmness and mature skin

Yon-Ka Le Serum Excellence Code is Yon-Ka's most concentrated longevity formula, combining Phyto-Fermented Jasmine with Alpine willowherb to visibly improve firmness, smoothness and vitality. Yon-Ka Excellence Code Creme is designed for mature, hormonally changing skin, and Yon-Ka Advanced Optimizer Serum helps firm the skin for a visible lift effect.

Eyes and sun protection

Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour, an aromatic cream with rosemary extract, visibly reduces puffiness and dark circles. To finish your morning routine, Yon-Ka SPF 50 Mineral Fluid Sunscreen provides broad-spectrum mineral protection with non-nano zinc oxide in a sheer formula that blends into all skin tones without a white cast.
