Skincare has become complicated.
We created Bloc to keep things simple, with products that work.
The question I get asked most in clinic is “What should I actually use?” So with our Bloc Friday sale now on, here’s my simple guide to what I’d pick, depending on your skin.
If your skin looks dull or uneven
Pro-C Serum (30% off) in the morning. It’s a stable vitamin C serum that supports your skin’s natural collagen, for skin that looks brighter and firmer.
If you want to step it up, add Antioxidant Serum (25% off) in the evening.
If you’re noticing fine lines and want firmer-looking skin
Pro-Peptide Serum (20% off). It combines two peptides with bakuchiol, and it’s what I recommend instead of retinol, particularly in our Australian climate.
If your skin is sensitive, red-looking or feeling tight
Start with Gentle Cleanser (30% off). It cleanses without stripping your skin.
Then finish your evening routine with a generous layer of Barrier Recovery Cream (20% off). With 18.6% zinc oxide, a dual-enzyme complex and antioxidants, it’s made for skin that’s sensitive, reactive or just feeling over it from the heat and air-con.
If you’re oily or breakout-prone
Keep it simple: Deep Cleanser (20% off) and Weightless Moisturiser (30% off). Weightless is light enough for oily skin and won’t feel heavy in our humidity.
I’d usually suggest Pro-B Serum here too, but it’s currently sold out. Join the waitlist on the product page and we’ll let you know when it’s back.
If you’re just getting started
You don’t need a ten-step routine. A cleanser, one serum and a moisturiser is all most people need.
If you’re not sure which serum to choose, or you have more than one concern above, Antioxidant Serum is a great all-rounder to start with.
How long until I notice a difference?
It depends on your skin and the product.
Some changes, like skin feeling more comfortable and hydrated, can happen within days.
Others, like a brighter-looking complexion, can take a couple of weeks.
For things like the look of fine lines or texture, give your routine three skin cycles, which is roughly three months of consistent use.
The details
- Up to 30% off, until 11:59pm Monday 30 November.
- Free Resort Hat (valued at $79) when you spend $200 or more, until Thursday, 19 November or while stocks last.

This is our last sale of the year.
There’s no Boxing Day sale, so if something’s been on your list, now’s a good time.
