FAQ
"Is it too rich for breakout-prone skin?"
Not at all. This breakthrough duo actually helps regulate oil production while still maintaining essential hydration. It's specifically formulated to balance your skin rather than overwhelm it.
"I have sensitive skin – can I still use these?"
Absoutely! Our formulas are designed to work with your skin's natural processes, not against them. Both the Cleanser and Face Cream are free from harsh ingredients and actually help calm sensitivity with ingredients like Red Raspberry Seed Oil, a proprietary Ceramide Complex, and our Heart to Heart Complex®.
"Is it enough for aging concerns?"
Yes! Instead of harsh anti-aging ingredients, our Heart to Heart Complex® works with your skin's natural processes to optimize skin health from within. You'll get powerful results without compromising your skin's balance.
"Do I really need both products?"
While each product works beautifully on its own, they're formulated to work together for optimal results. The skin needs to be detoxed of excess oil, any dead skin, buildup, and toxins in order to be its best self–so having an easy cleansing routine that you'll enjoy doing is essential. The Essential Cleanser creates the perfect canvas for The Face Cream to work its transformative magic.
"How do I know this won't disrupt my skin barrier?"
Our formulas are specifically designed to strengthen your skin barrier, not damage it! The Face Cream actually helps repair and fortify your skin's natural protection while The Essential Cleanser cleanses without stripping and can help strengthen with its Ceramide Complex.
"Will it really help with lines and aging if it also works for breakouts?"
Yes, but naturally. Instead of harsh anti-aging ingredients, it works with your skin's natural processes to smooth and refine up to 2.6x better than retinol*. Our patent-pending Heart to Heart Complex® technology is what makes this possible! You can expect improvement in fine lines while maintaining healthy, balanced skin.
Reviews
★★★★★ "Best cleanser & face cream 🩵 I wanted this cleanser to go with my other products from L’amarue and I’m so glad that I got it! Unlike all other cleansers this one doesn’t make my face feel like I’ve just stripped it & left with an extremely dry feeling. A little goes a long ways & honestly I believe this bottle will last me for many many months or even a year because it only takes a tiny bit. I’m so thankful I have been able to use only the products by L’amarue 🩵"

While most skincare simply delivers ingredients to the surface, Heart to Heart Complex® goes deeper to actually work with your skin's biology. It's the difference between dropping off supplies and providing clear instructions for success.
Too many products but still can't get results? Your skin is telling you to simplify.
Dermatologists warn that overloading your skin with multiple products can trigger inflammation, compromise your barrier, and accelerate aging.
A big part of this is because many ingredients are incompatible when mixed together. This leads to not only reduced efficacy, but it can actually cause more issues, too. In fact, some common ingredients (like Vitamin C) can even become carcinogenic when unknowingly combined.
The Essentials Kit is precisely formulated as a harmonious system that works with your skin, and keeps everything simple–while still helping you achieve balanced, clear, youthful, happy skin.
