I’ve been meaning to write about the skincare products I actually use because I finally found a line that delivers noticeable results. After trying many expensive formulas that left my skin dry or irritated, I discovered Shunly Skin Care and it changed everything for me.
I first tried these products about three years ago during a harsh Idaho winter when my skin was extremely dry and flaky. No creams or serums I used made a difference until my esthetician reviewed my routine and recommended two key Shunly items. She explained that I was using high-priced products filled with unnecessary chemicals and missing essential steps for healthy skin.
My esthetician’s recommendations:
- pH~CoQ10+A-Oxy Toner after cleansing to balance pH and add hydration.
- Zn20+ SPF40 Light Moisturizer on a clean, toned face to protect and hydrate without clogging pores.
I ordered those two products immediately and started using them. Within two days my skin felt plumper, more hydrated, and less flaky. Encouraged by the results, I gradually added more items from the same brand. Today I use the full set daily and my skin is balanced, protected and healthy with no adverse reactions.
The additional products I use include:
- AHA+ Deep Gel Cleanser or ChM+ Gentle Milk Cleanser
- SE+ Apple Skin Stem Cells serum
- AHA+ Rapid Exfoliator
- C+ Active Treatment (Vitamin C)
- Vita A, E + Ceramides Treatment
SKIN CARE PRODUCTS I USE
1. AHA+ Gel Cleanser / ChM+ Gentle Milk Cleanser
These are the only cleansers I use. The gel cleanser foams a bit more while the milk cleanser is softer; I choose based on how my skin feels. Both are gentle enough to use three times a day (morning, after the gym, and at night). A little goes a long way.
How to use: Gently rub a penny-sized amount over a damp face, let it sit 30 seconds, then rinse and pat dry.
When to use: Twice daily or as needed.
Benefits:
- Brightens and boosts radiance
- Stimulates collagen production
- Improves fine lines and refines pores
- Reduces breakouts
2. pH~CoQ10+A-Oxy Toner
This antioxidant-rich toner balances skin pH, hydrates, and adds radiance while helping skin feel firmer.
How to use: Apply with clean hands using a gentle tapping motion over face and neck until absorbed.
When to use: After cleansing or whenever extra hydration is needed.
Benefits:
- Increases cellular energy
- Rejuvenates and moisturizes
- Maintains healthy pH balance
3. Zn20+ SPF40 Light Moisturizer
A water-resistant, non-chemical, broad-spectrum SPF moisturizer suitable for all skin types. It feels lightweight, locks in moisture, helps collagen and works well as a makeup base.
How to use: Apply a pump to fingertips and dot across the face, then spread evenly until absorbed.
When to use: Every morning after cleansing and toning, and reapply if sweaty or after swimming.
Benefits:
- Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
- Gentle enough for sensitive and children’s skin
- Improves hydration and can be used before makeup
4. SE+ Apple Skin Stem Cells (serum)
This is my favorite serum: gentle but powerful. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, supports collagen, and helps repair skin after sun exposure or dehydration.
How to use: Shake, then apply 5–7 drops to clean, toned skin and massage until absorbed.
When to use: Every other night or whenever skin needs repair.
Benefits:
- Preserves youthful appearance
- Promotes cell proliferation
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
5. AHA+ Rapid Exfoliator
A nighttime leave-in exfoliator I use once or twice a week. It resurfaces, hydrates and refines texture while you sleep.
How to use: Apply 5–7 drops to clean, toned skin and massage until absorbed.
When to use: At night, once or twice weekly.
Benefits:
- Resurfaces and exfoliates
- Reduces fine lines and improves texture
- Boosts hydration and elasticity
- Good for men post-shave to prevent ingrown hairs
6. C+ Active Treatment (Vitamin C)
A protective, brightening serum to use before SPF on days you’ll be outdoors. It defends against pollutants, brightens and firms the skin.
How to use: Apply 5–7 drops to clean, toned skin, avoiding the eye area. Follow with SPF. Store in the refrigerator to preserve potency.
When to use: Morning before going outside.
Benefits:
- Protects against environmental damage
- Brightens and firms skin
- Boosts collagen production
- Corrects photo damage
7. Vita A, E + Ceramides Treatment
A rich nighttime treatment I alternate with the exfoliator and stem cell serum. It deeply moisturizes and delivers corrective benefits: reducing pore size, fine lines and discoloration.
How to use: Apply a thin layer to clean, toned face and neck, massaging until absorbed.
When to use: Nighttime on evenings you aren’t using the AHA exfoliator or stem cell serum.
Benefits:
- Minimizes fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration
- Provides intensive repair and moisture
- Improves firmness and youthful appearance
SKIN CARE ROUTINE STEPS
- Morning
- If going outside: Cleanse with Deep Gel Cleanser, apply pH~CoQ10+A-Oxy Toner, C+ Active Treatment, then Zn20+ SPF40 Light Moisturizer.
- If staying inside: Cleanse, tone, and apply SE+ Apple Skin Stem Cells for hydration and repair.
- Night: Cleanse, toner, then use either AHA+ Rapid Exfoliator, SE+ Apple Skin Stem Cells, or Vita A, E + Ceramides Treatment depending on skin needs.
- Once a month: Professional microdermabrasion can help renew texture and boost results.
Microdermabrasion is a non-abrasive mechanical exfoliation performed by a professional. It helps stimulate collagen, smooth texture, reduce dark spots and fine lines, shrink enlarged pores, and improve the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. Treatments can leave skin slightly red for a short time but are effective at renewing dull skin.
I get a microderm once a month and notice a marked difference in radiance and smoothness after each session. If you have questions about any of the products or how to integrate them into your routine, feel free to ask your esthetician or contact the Shunly Skin Care experts for specific guidance.
