This is my all time fave!!
I am obsessed with the Activator Gel! I love the invigorating scent of ginger and cinnamon. I use this after cleansing, sometimes as a mask (10 min) and even a spot treatment. It really does it all and leaves my skin glowing and refreshed.

Perfect for dry skin
The activator gel is a game changer. I can feel the difference with how my regular skincare sinks into the skin when I use this. Even in the winter I don't need as much moisturizer as I usually use because now it's working better.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Activator Gel do?

Activator Gel is a revitalizing pre-treatment that prepares the skin for your skincare routine. It gently exfoliates, energizes, and enhances the penetration of active ingredients applied afterward — helping your creams and serums work better. It is a one of a kind rinse off toner, that energizes the skin.

How should I use it?

Use after cleansing, morning or evening. Apply a thin layer to face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Leave on for 1–3 minutes as a daily activator.
Leave on for 10 minutes as a purifying mask.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with your toner and moisturizer.

Can I use Activator Gel every day?

Yes, depending on your skin type. Most users apply it 2–3 times per week for an energizing boost, but it’s gentle enough for daily use on combination or normal skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is dermatologist-tested and suitable for most skin types. However, those with very sensitive skin may prefer to use it just a few times per week and leave it on for a shorter duration.

What should I use after Activator Gel?

After rinsing off Activator Gel, follow with Active Tonic to balance the skin and prepare it for your next steps.

Activator Gel — increases microcirculation, helping subsequent products absorb more effectively.
Active Tonic — gently micro-exfoliates, strengthens, and tones the skin barrier while preserving the skin’s natural pH.

After toning, apply your favorite Cellcosmet serum or moisturizer to complete your routine.

What gives Activator Gel its warming sensation?

Natural ingredients like ginger and cinnamon extracts deliver a gentle warming and energizing effect — stimulating microcirculation and awakening dull skin without irritation.

Can men use it too?

Yes! The lightweight gel texture makes it ideal for men’s skin as well — helping to refresh the complexion and prepare the skin for post-shave hydration.
