Which SeneGence skincare should I buy first?
Quick answer
Start with the SeneGence Core 4 for your skin type: a cleanser, a daytime moisturizer, an evening moisturizer and EyeCrème, in Dry, Normal to Dry or Normal to Oily, or the Microbiome Collection for oily-to-sensitive skin. It is the daily base every treatment builds on, and it is tested. In an independent eight-week study, the Normal-to-Dry 3 in 1 Cleanser, DayTime Moisturizer and Evening Moisturizer, used together as a regimen, improved measured hydration by 49.99% immediately after application.

How do the four Core 4 routines compare?
| Your skin | Choose | What it does for you | Explore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry | The Dry Core 4 | Choose Dry for lipid replenishment and a lasting hydration cascade when skin needs help holding moisture. | Dry SkinCare Regimen Set · Beauty Book 2026 |
| Normal to dry | The Normal to Dry Core 4 | Choose Normal to Dry for balanced hydration through seasonal changes, with multi-weight moisture support for smooth, resilient-looking skin. | Normal-Dry SkinCare Regimen Set · Beauty Book 2026 |
| Normal to oily | The Normal to Oily Core 4 | Choose Normal to Oily for lightweight, peptide-infused hydration and oil balance without clogging pores. | Normal-Oily SkinCare Regimen Set · Beauty Book 2026 |
| Oily to sensitive | The Microbiome Collection, with Microbiome Correcting Cleanser in the cleanser’s place | Choose the Oily to Sensitive Microbiome Collection for microbiome-first care that helps calm sensitivity, fight blemishes and strengthen the barrier, and a daytime moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 15. | Microbiome SkinCare Regimen Set · Beauty Book 2026 |
The 3-in-1 Cleanser, DayTime Moisturizer, Evening Moisturizer, and EyeCrème form the Core 4. In the Microbiome Collection, Microbiome Correcting Cleanser takes the cleanser’s place. Use DayTime Moisturizer in the morning and Evening Moisturizer at night; that simple rhythm makes it easier to judge fit. EyeCrème, the fourth step, has its own study. After eight weeks with EyeCrème, 87.10% of participants showed measured improvement in skin radiance in the eye area. See the EyeCrème results or the regimen’s hydration findings.
Which Core 4 fits your skin?
The Beauty Book 2026 (pp. 10–13) matches each Core 4 to the skin it suits.
- Dry skin needs help to add and retain the moisture it can’t hold onto. Choose Dry for lipid replenishment and a lasting hydration cascade when skin needs help holding moisture. Explore the Dry routine.
- Normal-to-dry skin needs hydration normalized and balanced through every season. Choose Normal to Dry for balanced hydration through seasonal changes, with multi-weight moisture support for smooth, resilient-looking skin. Compare the Normal-to-Dry moisturizers.
- Normal-to-oily skin wants hydration without heaviness. Choose Normal to Oily for lightweight, peptide-infused hydration and oil balance without clogging pores. Explore the Normal-to-Oily routine.
- Oily or sensitive skin needs its barrier balanced and protected. Choose the Oily to Sensitive Microbiome Collection for microbiome-first care that helps calm sensitivity, fight blemishes and strengthen the barrier, and a daytime moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 15. Explore the Microbiome Collection.

When skin feels dry, tight or depleted, make Nangai Oil the lipid-optimization step after treatment and before moisturizer. Use three to five drops of Nangai Oil after treatments and before DayTime or Evening Moisturizer. See the Nangai Oil record. Once the Core 4 feels right, add one treatment for the visible concern that matters most, such as the Triple Cell Renewal Trio. Shop the Dry SkinCare Regimen Set, Normal-Dry SkinCare Regimen Set, Normal-Oily SkinCare Regimen Set, or Microbiome SkinCare Regimen Set, or shop the Triple Cell Renewal Trio.
