Why You'll Love It
The Essential 2-Step System is proof that effective skincare doesn't require ten products—it requires the right two.
This is minimalism at its most powerful: Deep Hydration Serum delivers concentrated hyaluronic acid, peptides, and moisture-binding ingredients that plump, smooth, and penetrate deep into skin's layers. Recovery Cream follows with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids that rebuild compromised barriers, seal in every drop of hydration, and create the resilient, healthy skin foundation everything else builds on.
Together, they address the two fundamental needs of every skin type—deep moisture and strong barrier.
Within days, your skin feels dramatically more comfortable and looks visibly healthier.
Within weeks, texture improves, sensitivity reduces, and that healthy, balanced glow emerges.
This is skincare stripped to essentials that actually transform. Perfect skin made simple.

What We Don't Use
Our commitment to gentle, effective barrier repair means we never use:
✗ Fragrance (synthetic or natural)
✗ Essential Oils
✗ Alcohol
✗ Harsh Preservatives
✗ Parabens
✗ Sulfates
✗ Phthalates
✗ Dyes
✗ Potential Irritants
✗ Comedogenic Ingredients
✗ Unnecessary Additives
Always: Barrier-protective ingredients, clinically proven actives, suitable for most sensitive skin
When to Use
Morning & Evening (Recommended): Use this complete 2-step system twice daily for maximum hydration and barrier repair. Consistent use builds and maintains resilient, healthy skin.
Morning Application: After cleansing, apply serum then cream. Creates comfortable, protected base for SPF and makeup. Skin stays hydrated and balanced all day.
Evening Application: After cleansing, apply serum then cream. Intensive overnight repair when skin regenerates most actively. Wake with visibly improved skin.
Post-Procedure Essential: Safe to use 24-48 hours after professional treatments when gentle barrier repair is critical. Accelerates recovery dramatically.
Flexible Usage:
- Full routine twice daily (optimal for very dry or compromised skin)
- Evening only for intensive overnight repair
- Morning under SPF for all-day protection
- As needed during barrier crisis (over-exfoliation, environmental damage)
Foundation for Actives: Use this system to build strong barrier health before introducing retinoids, acids, or other active treatments. Strong barrier = tolerance for actives.
Best Results: Twice-daily use for 2-4 weeks shows dramatic improvement in barrier function, hydration, sensitivity, and overall skin health. Continue indefinitely for maintained resilience.
Layering Guide
Complete Morning Routine:
Step 1: Gentle Cleanser - Remove overnight oils gently
Step 2: Gentle Balancing Toner - Prep (optional but enhances)
Step 3: Deep Hydration Serum - Apply to damp skin (2-3 drops)
Step 4: Recovery Cream - Seal immediately while skin is damp
Step 5: SPF 30+ - Protect (mineral SPF ideal for sensitive skin)
Complete Evening Routine:
Step 1: Gentle Cleanser - Remove makeup, SPF, impurities thoroughly
Step 2: Gentle Balancing Toner - Prep (optional)
Step 3: Deep Hydration Serum - Intensive overnight hydration
Step 4: Recovery Cream - Seal and repair overnight
Minimalist Approach:
Cleanser → Serum → Cream → SPF (AM)
Cleanser → Serum → Cream (PM)
That's it. Simple, effective, transformative.
Adding Actives Later:
Once barrier is strong (4-6 weeks), can add active treatments:
- Morning: Serum → Active (Vitamin C, etc.) → Recovery Cream → SPF
- Evening: Serum → Active (Retinoid, etc.) → Recovery Cream
Sandwich Method (Maximum Barrier Protection with Actives):
Recovery Cream → Wait 20 min → Active → Recovery Cream again
Buffers irritation while maintaining effectiveness
Works Perfectly With:
- All Ravonna cleansers and toners
- Can add serums as barrier strengthens (Defense, Radiance, Balance)
- Foundation for retinoid use (Renew or Advanced Renewal)
- Compatible with all treatments when barrier is ready
This IS Your Complete Routine If:
- Skin is very sensitive or compromised
- Recovering from over-exfoliation or damage
- Post-professional treatment
- Simplicity is priority
- Building foundation before actives
Pro Tips
Maximize Barrier Repair:
- Apply serum to damp (not dry) skin—enhances penetration and hydration
- Don't wait too long between serum and cream—seal while skin is moist
- Use slightly more product than usual if severely compromised
- Apply to neck and décolleté—these areas need barrier support too
- Layer cream in multiple thin coats if extremely dry
Application Technique:
Deep Hydration Serum:
- Apply 2-4 drops (more if very dry) to damp skin
- Press gently into face using flat palms
- Don't rub aggressively—gentle pressing is sufficient
- Pay attention to driest areas (cheeks, around nose)
- Skin should feel plump and slightly tacky
Recovery Cream:
- Apply while serum is still damp on skin
- Use more than you think you need—don't skimp
- Warm between palms first for easier spreading
- Press into skin in upward motions
- Can apply multiple thin layers if needed
Boost Your Results:
Intensive Barrier Repair Protocol:
For severely compromised skin, use this approach:
- Apply serum in 2 layers (let first absorb, apply second)
- Follow with thick layer of Recovery Cream
- Add second layer of cream 10 minutes later
- Do this nightly for 1-2 weeks for rapid repair
Slugging Method (Advanced):
For maximum overnight barrier repair:
- Complete evening routine (serum + cream)
- Wait 10 minutes
- Apply thin layer of pure squalane oil over everything
- Seals in moisture and actives for intensive repair
- Use 1-2x per week or nightly if very compromised
Facial Massage Enhancement:
- While applying cream, perform gentle facial massage
- Upward and outward motions
- Increases circulation and product absorption
- 2-3 minutes total
- Enhances glow and results
Environmental Protection:
- Apply extra thick layer before exposure to harsh weather
- Reapply cream throughout day if in dry environments
- Keep travel size for midday barrier support
- Extra protection during winter or air travel
What to Expect:
Immediate (First Use):
Skin feels dramatically more comfortable, hydrated, and calm. Tightness disappears.
Week 1:
Consistent comfort throughout day. Reduced sensitivity. Visible improvement in texture and hydration.
Week 2-3:
Barrier strength improving. Less reactive to products and environment. Skin looks healthier, more balanced.
Week 4+:
Strong, resilient barrier. Skin can tolerate actives if desired. Maintained comfort and health with continued use.
Signs of Improvement:
- No more tightness after cleansing
- Reduced sensitivity to products and environment
- Improved texture and smoothness

- Makeup applies more smoothly
- Overall healthier appearance
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Applying to completely dry skin (slight dampness is optimal)
- Waiting too long between serum and cream (seal while moist)
- Using too little product (barrier repair needs generous application)
- Adding actives too soon (wait 4-6 weeks for strong barrier)
- Inconsistent use (barrier repair requires daily commitment)
- Expecting overnight transformation (takes 2-4 weeks)
Storage:
- Keep in cool, dry place
- Close containers tightly after use
- Use within 12 months of opening
- Serum may be refrigerated for cooling, soothing effect

What Our Customers Say
Join 2,500+ women who transformed their skin with Ravonna
Hydration and Repair That Actually Last
This duo transformed my skin quickly. The serum gives deep, fast-absorbing hydration, and the Recovery Cream seals everything in without heaviness. My skin looks smoother, calmer, and more radiant every morning. A perfect two-step routine.
Stronger, Softer, More Hydrated Skin
The combination of the Deep Hydration Serum with the Recovery Cream made a dramatic difference. My dryness disappeared, my texture improved, and my skin feels protected all day. It’s simple, effective, and genuinely restorative.
The Only Two Products I Truly Need
I simplified my routine to just these two and saw better results than ever. The serum plumps and hydrates instantly, and the Recovery Cream smooths and repairs overnight. My skin looks healthier, brighter, and consistently balanced.
Visible Repair and Real Hydration
My skin was dull and dehydrated, but this duo brought it back. The serum absorbs beautifully, and the cream nourishes deeply without feeling greasy. I wake up with smoother texture, less redness, and a soft, hydrated glow.
Perfect for Tired, Dry, or Stressed Skin
These two products work so well together. The serum gives a refreshing boost of hydration, and the cream locks it in and repairs my barrier overnight. My skin feels calm, firm, and visibly rejuvenated each morning.
Simple Routine, Powerful Results
I love how easy this duo is. My skin stays hydrated all day, and the recovery at night is noticeable. The dryness around my cheeks disappeared, my texture improved, and my complexion looks brighter and more even overall.
