FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Protocol

What is the two-step protocol?

Serum first, moisturizer second, morning and evening. Apply Skin Memory Serum™ to clean, completely dry skin and press it in gently rather than rubbing. Wait about 20 seconds, then apply Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer. Exfoliate one to three times a week, before the serum step.

Skin Memory Serum™

How do I incorporate Skin Memory Serum™ in my routine?

Like any serum, IDEO’s Skin Memory Serum™ is best used after cleaning and drying skin, and before applying moisturizer.

How long until I see results with Skin Memory Serum™?

Some benefits may appear in as little as 5 days. Our clinical study showed statistically significant improvement on multiple skin concerns continuing through the 2- and 4-week mark. Over time, results will compound and become even more noticeable as mitochondrial metabolism continues to receive the boost it gets through our R⋅M⋅A Complex™ restoring youthful cell function.

How long will a bottle of Skin Memory Serum™ last?

A 30ml bottle used in mornings and evenings should last 6-8 weeks.

Is Skin Memory Serum™ tested on animals?

No. Skin Memory Serum™ is not tested on animals.

Is there fragrance added to Skin Memory Serum™?

Skin Memory Serum™ is fragrance-free.

Which skin types is Skin Memory Serum™ good for?

Skin Memory Serum™ works wonderfully on all skin types, including sensitive, combination, blemish-prone, mature, and dehydrated skin.

Is Skin Memory Serum™ safe for pregnancy?

Skin Memory Serum™ is safe for pregnancy, but as with any active product, it is best to determine your comfort level with your doctor.

If I notice my Skin Memory Serum™ is separating, is it still good to use?

Yes! Skin Memory Serum™ is a milky serum that can potentially separate by design; all it needs is a good shake before applying. It was designed for maximum effectiveness by not adding chemicals that would force the ingredients into a permanent solution.

What is the pH balance of Skin Memory Serum™?

Skin Memory Serum™ has a pH balance of 5.54.

Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer

How do I use Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer?

Apply morning and evening to clean skin. Use it on its own, or layer it over Skin Memory Serum™ for the complete protocol — serum first, then moisturizer.

Can I use the Moisturizer without the Serum?

Yes. The Moisturizer works on its own for hydration, barrier support and cellular repair. The two are designed as a system, though, and our clinical results were measured with both steps used together.

Is there fragrance added to the Moisturizer?

No. Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer is fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Is the Moisturizer tested on animals?

No. Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer is cruelty-free.

Is the Moisturizer safe for pregnancy?

Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer is made with pregnancy-safe ingredients. As with any active product, it is best to determine your comfort level with your doctor.

Will the Moisturizer sit well under SPF and makeup?

Yes. The finish is cushioned and weightless, and it layers cleanly under sunscreen and makeup.

Bundles & Supplies

What is in the Skin Intelligence Power Duo?

The full protocol as it was designed: one 30 mL Skin Memory Serum™ and one 50 mL Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer. Together, approximately a two-month supply.

What are the 6-month and 12-month Protocol supplies?

The same two-step protocol, bought ahead. The 6-Month Skin Memory Protocol saves $161.70 — 22% less than buying each product individually. The 12-Month Skin Memory Protocol saves 33%.

Why buy a longer supply?

Results compound. Our clinical study measured visible change from day 5 through the four-week mark, and skin keeps responding for as long as the R⋅M⋅A Complex™ keeps working. Consistency is the mechanism.

Subscriptions

How does Subscribe & Save work?

Choose a delivery rhythm — every 30, 60 or 90 days — and your order arrives automatically at a standing discount: 10% off Skin Memory Serum™ and 15% off Skin Memory Daily Moisturizer. You can also buy once, with no subscription, at any time.

Do I have to subscribe?

No. One-time purchase is the default. Subscribing is simply the better price if you already know the protocol works for you.

When am I charged?

You are charged when you place your order, and then again on each renewal — every 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the rhythm you chose.

Is the discount only on my first order?

No. Your subscription discount applies to every order, for as long as your subscription is active.

Can I skip, pause, or change how often I receive my order?

Yes — all three, at any time. You can manage your subscription from your account, or email us at info@ideoskincare.com and we will take care of it for you.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Whenever you like, with no minimum commitment. Cancel from your account, or email us at info@ideoskincare.com and we will handle it.

Can I subscribe to the Power Duo or the Protocol supplies?

Not currently — subscriptions are available on the Serum and Moisturizer individually. If you would like the full protocol delivered ahead, the 6-month and 12-month Protocol supplies do the same job in a single order.

How much is shipping?

Domestic (U.S.) shipping is free on every order — no minimum. International shipping is a flat $14.95.

Do you ship internationally?

Returns

What is your returns policy?

You may return any product within 30 days of delivery — including products you have opened and used. Skincare takes time to judge, and we would rather you give it a fair trial than feel locked in by an unopened seal.

We provide a prepaid return label, so returning costs you nothing.

Only items purchased on our Shopify store can be accepted for returns. Items bought elsewhere must be returned to their original point of purchase.

How do I return an item?

Email us at info@ideoskincare.com with the reason for your return. Please put "Returns" and your order number in the subject line, and we will send your prepaid return label.
