How to layer IMBIBE skincare: a 5-step routine guide

We're excited to welcome IMBIBE into the Skin Tide skincare edit — a considered, ingredient-led range formulated in Australia. Below is a simple five-step way to layer the range, whether you're building a full routine or just adding one or two pieces to what you already do.

01. Cleanse — Melting Balm

Start with Melting Balm, a balm-to-milk cleanser that melts on contact to dissolve makeup, SPF and daily buildup. Warm a small amount between your fingertips, massage into dry skin, then add water to transform it into a milky emulsion before rinsing clean.

02. Hydrate — Collagen Jelly

Next, apply Collagen Jelly to clean skin. This jelly-textured serum combines a six-amino-acid peptide with three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to support hydration and the appearance of smoother, firmer-looking skin. Apply evenly to the face, neck and décolletage.

03. Clarify — Perfecting Powder

Mix 1–2 level spoonfuls of Perfecting Powder with your Collagen Jelly, moisturiser, or water in the palm of your hand until smooth. This fresh-activated Vitamin C treatment supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Start with 2–3 uses per week, gradually building up to daily use. Not recommended around the eye area.

04. Brighten — Collagen Eyes

For the delicate eye area, Collagen Eyes combines two plant-derived retinol alternatives with collagen-supporting peptides and a multi-layer hydration system. Apply a pea-sized amount and gently press around the eyes, morning and night.

05. Finish — Collagen Protect

Finish with Collagen Protect, a nutrient-dense facial oil formulated with 20 botanical actives to support the skin's natural barrier and offer antioxidant protection against everyday environmental stressors. Use 4–5 drops in warmed palms and press into the skin as your final step.

Facial oil is not sunscreen. For daytime sun protection, use an appropriate broad-spectrum sunscreen as directed, alongside protective clothing, shade and other sun protection measures.

Your routine, your way

You don't need all five steps to get started — many of our clients begin with one or two products and build from there. Suitable for morning and evening use.

The full IMBIBE range, including Collagen Lips, Beauty Renewal and the Skin Discovery Bundle, is available in clinic at Skin Tide Torquay. Pop in or get in touch and we're happy to talk through what would suit your skin.
