Most people respond to aging skin with more. More steps, more actives, more products promising more results.

That's the unsafe part.

In women, reduced estrogen causes epidermal thinning, collagen loss, and declining hyaluronic acid. In men, lower testosterone drives dryness, wrinkling, and sagging. Across all genders, a weakening skin barrier becomes more vulnerable to environmental stressors that accelerate the process.

Adding more to a compromised barrier doesn't fix it. It overloads it.

Safe skincare means fewer inputs, better chosen. Clinical actives that work with your skin's biology, not against it. No fragrance. No filler. Nothing your skin has to fight.

Build your routine with our Ectoine + Bakuchiol Serum and Barrier-Repair Moisturizer.

Practice Safe Skincare®

Q1. Is Schăf safe for perimenopause and andropause skin?
Yes. Our formulas are fragrance‑ and essential‑oil‑free, pH‑balanced, and built around barrier‑supportive actives.

Q2. Can I layer acids or retinoids with your serum?
You can, but you may not need to. If you do, alternate nights and avoid high‑% acids.

Q3. How long until I see results?
Most people notice calmer skin in 1–2 weeks; texture and tone keep improving over 4–8 weeks.

Q4. Are the actives clinically studied?
Yes — we use ingredients with clinical data (e.g., ectoine, bakuchiol, peptides).

Q5. Is this routine gendered?
No. Skin first, labels second. Hormone shifts affect all of us differently.
