A serum for every phase of your menstrual cycle.

PROJECT CYCLE offers 4 facial serums in one set, designed to meet the different needs of the 4 phases of your menstrual cycle. We want to help you understand and deal with your cycle-related skin changes. Hormones like progesterone and estrogen affect not only your energy or mood, but also your skin. The fluctuating hormone levels in your body can be the reason why the moisture, blood circulation and sebum production of your skin vary per cycle phase.

Our facial care set is designed to help you support your body specifically and the natural cycle of your skin in the different phases of the cycle. For this purpose, we have optimally matched the ingredients of the facial serums to the 4 phases of the cycle. The 4 phases of the cycle are:

Menstrual Phase, Follicular Phase, Ovulation and Luteal Phase.

Our mission is to better educate about the menstrual cycle and draw attention to the associated changes in the body, skin and psyche.

Here we explain the different phases in detail. You are unique and so is your cycle and the skin changes that come with it. The average cycle lasts 28 days - however, the length of your cycle can vary individually, so that cycle lengths of 25-35 days can occur occasionally without this being a problem in principle.

Our products & your cycle

Note: The timings of the individual phases are indicative and may vary from person to person and between cycles. The average duration of the cycle is shown below. Cycle Care GmbH does not guarantee that this duration applies to every cycle or user. For precise tracking, we recommend tracking the cycle with a cycle tracking app or consulting a gynecologist.

  • 1: Hydrating & Calming Serum (Menstruation)

    From the start of menstruation day ~ 1-5 of your cycle

    Change in skin:
    A low progesterone level results in a decrease in oil production and the skin can look dry and sallow. The lack of the female hormone estrogen causes the skin to be more sensitive than usual.

    This is how you can support your skin with our serums:
    Our Hydrating & Calming Serum with hyaluronic acid, glycerin & aloe vera as a moisture booster.

    1. Hyaluronic acid balances the moisture balance of your skin and protects it from drying out.

    2. Aloe vera has soothing and antioxidant properties and also provides the skin with moisture

    Application:

    Apply 3-5 drops to cleansed skin in the morning and evening and massage in gently. Avoid the eye area.

  • 2: Glow & Balancing Serum (Follikuläre Phase)

    Day ~ 6-12 of your cycle

    Change in skin:
    The rising estrogen level boosts the natural collagen production and the moisture balance of your skin normalizes. The protective barrier of your skin is strengthened. Our Glow & Balancing Serum with Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and Glycerin provides an additional glow and strengthens the structure of your skin / balances your skin even more.

    1. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect and contributes to the building of collagen.

    2. Aloe Vera has soothing and antioxidant properties and also provides the skin with moisture.

    Application:
    Apply 3-5 drops to cleansed skin in the morning and massage in gently. Avoid eye area.

    Note: Due to the high concentration of Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C), our Glow & Balancing Serum has a slightly golden tone. Since Vitamin C can oxidize, be sure to store this serum in a cool, dark place. Seal the serum after use.

  • 3: Pore-Refining & Protecting Serum (Ovulation)

    Day ~ 13-18 of your cycle

    Change in skin:
    Estrogen levels are at their peak - so your skin is at its best - it looks plump and even. Shortly after, estrogen levels drop while progesterone levels increase. Rising progesterone levels mean that the skin's oil production increases, which can clog pores.

    Here's how you can support your skin with our serums:
    Our Pore Refining & Protecting Serum with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin optimally prepares your skin for the luteal phase by using pore-refining ingredients that also help strengthen the skin barrier.

    1. Niacinamide refines your pores and reduces the sebum flow of your skin.

    2. Hyaluronic acid balances the moisture balance of your skin and protects it from drying out.

    Application:
    Apply 3-5 drops to cleansed skin in the morning and evening and massage gently. Avoid the eye area. Use sunscreen during the day.

  • 4: Exfoliating & Clarifying Serum (Luteale Phase)

    Day ~ 19-28 of your cycle

    Change in skin:
    Progesterone levels are highest and then decrease. The skin's oil production is cranked up and can further weaken the skin barrier. An oily sheen, clogged pores and increased blemishes can result. The oil production should be regulated and balanced.

    This is how you can support your skin with our serums:
    Our Exfoliating & clarifying serum with salicylic acid can help reduce pimples and blackheads and soothes sensitive and irritated skin.

    1. Salicylic acid (BHA for short) cleanses the inside of pores and removes dead skin cells, creating an exfoliating effect.

    2. Hyaluronic acid balances your skin's moisture levels and protects it from drying out.

    Application:
    Apply 3-5 drops to cleansed skin in the evening and massage gently. Avoid the eye area. Do not rinse. Initially apply every other day and observe the reaction of the skin. Then increase frequency of application depending on tolerance.
