The Lancer Method

Beverly Hills-based dermatologist Dr Harold Lancer says the way to a radiant complexion is to “train” skin to regenerate as it did when it was younger – using his threestep polishing, cleansing and nourishing routine. “The skin is an organ of absorption. Keeping it meticulously clean is a very effective anti-ageing strategy,” he shares.

A fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology with 35 years’ experience, he has a starry clientele that includes Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez. And he’s drawn rave reviews for the Lancer Method product range he created for his routine.

The products come in three variants: for normalcombination, sensitivedehydrated, and oily-congested skin. Step one is a gentle daily exfoliator ($120) to resurface skin, boost oxygen supply and kick-start renewal. Step two is a foaming cleanser ($ 89) to remove impurities and balance skin’s pH so it’s prepped for skincare. Lastly, a moisturiser ($200) feeds skin vital ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides. Available at Escentials.
