The Complete Routine

with rice and peony root powders

The first step to healthy skin: clearing the skin of everything that clogs it. Makeup removal, though invisible to the naked eye, strips away layers of makeup, sebum, and oil-soluble sunscreen that have built up throughout the day.

Starting with a powdery texture—gentle yet effective—helps maintain the skin's natural balance while beginning a deep cleanse.

This step paves the way for thorough cleansing without causing irritation or dryness.

Double cleansing, a refined tradition passed down from Asia, involves removing makeup first and then following up with a water-based cleanse.

This second step removes water-soluble impurities (dust, sweat, pollution) and any residue from the makeup remover, leaving the skin perfectly clean, soothed, and ready to absorb the next steps in your skincare routine.

This step is essential for restoring the skin’s natural breathing process without compromising its hydrolipidic film.

Freshly cleansed skin is like dry soil: it absorbs water better than it does cream.

Applying a hydrating lotion immediately restores the moisture lost during cleansing and prepares the skin to absorb active ingredients. Whether in a light mist or lotion form, it acts as a carrier: active ingredients penetrate more deeply, and the skin appears plump and hydrated from the very first moment.

This is a step that is often overlooked, yet it is essential to the effectiveness of the routine.

Often mistaken for a simple toner, micellar vinegar actually plays a role in deeply rebalancing the skin.

Thanks to its slightly acidic nature, it instantly restores the skin’s pH balance—which can be disrupted by cleansing—tightens pores, and removes mineral deposits from the water.

Perfect as a complement to or alternative for the hydrating treatment, it revitalizes the complexion and strengthens the skin barrier, while providing a refreshing, clarifying sensation.

It is at this precise point in the routine that the skin receives its targeted treatment.

Serums and concentrates deliver powerful active ingredients that penetrate deeply to address the skin’s specific needs: radiance, firmness, even tone, and regeneration. A good treatment not only transforms the skin’s condition but also its immediate appearance.

In the world of dermocosmetics, this step is considered the "crowning touch"—the one that ensures the routine's effectiveness.

with squalene, jojoba oil, and vegetable glycerin

No skincare routine is complete without a final moisturizing step. It seals in the benefits of the previous steps, strengthens the skin barrier, and ensures long-lasting comfort throughout the day or night.

Proper hydration does more than just nourish: it protects, balances, and enhances. In keeping with the COTTAN tradition, this step draws inspiration from the textures of the past—light, melt-in-the-skin, yet deeply nourishing.

with vegetable glycerin, shea butter, and marshmallow root

Although often overlooked, our hands are the first to bear the brunt of our daily lives. Exposed to cold, water, friction, and external irritants, they deserve special care.
