Synergie Skin founder and formulator, Terri Jones


Whilst the beauty industry often portrays ageing as a battle to be fought, we prefer to recognise this natural biological process as the privilege that it truly is. Ageing isn't a disease to be hidden, but a journey to be celebrated. Terri, a proponent of holistic health and vitality at every age, exemplifies a path to graceful ageing by sharing her personal morning and evening age-defying skincare routine for mature skin. The following curated selection is a testament to the regenerative power of Synergie Skin’s advanced formulations; with collagen boosting skincare designed to protect and nurture the skin as it enters its golden years.

Morning Routine:

1. UltraCleanse daily cleanser

Terri begins her day with a practical first step – UltraCleanse. This cleansing gel, aside from its efficient cleansing prowess, balances her skin's pH without stripping natural moisture and prepares it for the subsequent skincare steps.


2. Dermiotic pre-serum elixir

Incorporating Dermiotic into her routine, Terri acknowledges the importance of a well-maintained skin microbiome. This elixir's blend of prebiotics and postbiotics supports skin health, managing redness and irritation, whilst fostering a balanced ecosystem and a healthy skin barrier.


3. SuperSerum+ youth renewal serum

Terri's choice of SuperSerum+ – with its clinically-backed peptide, botanical, and algal biotech blend – is designed to deeply hydrate, mimic muscle relaxant effects, encourage cell renewal, minimise fine lines, and stimulate firmness. This 6-in-1 active blend ensures a resilient, volumised, and regenerated complexion.


4. HyalaVive triple hyaluronic serum

Terri can't go a day without HyalaVive. Formulated with an unprecedented three-fold blend of triple-hyaluronic acid, TriCeramide Complex, and vitamin B12, HyalaVive not only deeply hydrates but also regenerates, protects, and supports her vital skin barrier for the day ahead. 


5. Effica C vitamin C serum

Effica C fits seamlessly into Terri's routine as a daily essential antioxidant protective measure. Harnessing the synergy of vitamin C (ATIP/ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) and coenzyme Q10, this clinically-backed, non-acidic serum efficiently combats environmental free radical damage throughout the day, reduces fine lines, and promotes a more even skin tone –  all while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.


6. ImprovEyes Day age-defying eye serum

Terri's eye-care selection, ImprovEyes Day, exhibits a pragmatic approach to addressing concerns related to the delicate eye region. This serum for mature skin contains hyaluronic acid and advanced eye-specific peptides to target puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. This lightweight eye serum is ideal for the morning routine when applied under foundation as the serum will not crease under the eye area


7. ÜberZinc essential daily moisturiser

Terri wraps up her morning routine with ÜberZinc – a well-rounded solar protector that combats UVA, UVB, inflammation, and oxidative stress. With 21% zinc oxide, it's an everyday protective shield aligned with her commitment to daily protection and skin health span.

ReClaim moisturiser

Terri's confidence in ReClaim is founded in its peptide-rich formula. Engineered for cell life extension on a chromosomal level by preventing the shortening of telomeres, it provides targeted hydration whilst creating a visible firming effect that lasts for hours.

EnviroVeil liquid mineral foundation

Terri alternative finisher to her morning skincare routine is her favourite foundation, which doubles as the final solar protective step: Synergie Minerals EnviroVeil (shade EV40). This intelligent liquid mineral foundation provides daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 along with blue light protection, imparting a radiant glow by reflecting light from the skin to blur fine lines and enlarged pores. 


Synergie Skin's Vitamin B, Ultimate A, Effica C and SuperSerum+


Evening Routine:

1. UltraCleanse daily cleanser

Night time signals another round of UltraCleanse, ensuring her skin is cleared of the day's makeup and impurities.


2. Dermiotic pre serum elixir

This is definitely a twice daily ritual for Terri. The delicate microbiome is constantly under attack and it is important to rebalance at the end of the day, particularly following the daily ravages from environmental aggressors.


3. Acceler-A advanced vitamin A retinoid serum

Acceler-A occupies a pivotal role in Terri's routine, embracing the power of the new retinoid: hydroxy pinacolone retinoate (HPR). This vitamin A serum is vital for new skin renewal, boosting collagen, reversing solar damage, and reducing uneven skin tone.


4. XCell B accelerated vitamin B serum

Terri's selection of Synergie Skin’s award-winning vitamin B niacinamide serum aligns with her affinity for science-backed multi-functional formulations. With a megadose 21% concentration of niacinamide, vitamin B3 boosts natural ceramide production and hydration for optimal barrier health, reduces irritation and redness, minimises fine lines, and enhances luminosity. This is Terri’s number one favourite product.


5. HyalaVive triple hyaluronic serum

Locking in hydration is of high importance to Terri while she sleeps and HyalaVive takes hydration to new levels. Formulated with three types of hyaluronic acid, HyalaVive penetrates multiple layers of the skin for deep hydration and an overnight epidermal treatment. 


6. ImprovEyes Night overnight eye treatment

Terri’s overnight eye treatment is packed with firming, wrinkle-fighting peptides and intense hydrators to awaken tired, puffy eyes.


7. ReClaim moisturiser

Terri loves the power of this age defying moisturisers, so she often uses it twice daily.  ReClaim to the rescue again. This superstar moisturiser is also an overnight workhorse for skin cell renewal within the collagen boosting skincare space – ensuring she wakes up feeling rejuvenated inside and out. ReClaim is her ideal finisher in this skincare routine for ageing skin.


Weekly Routine:

1. MasquErase weekly treatment mask

After ReClaim is fully absorbed, she adds a generous layer of her MasquErase overnight mask. The nutritive blend of rich emollients, algal skin boosters, and soothing botanicals works while she sleeps to repair, restore, and calm mature skin.




Terri's skincare journey embodies a scientifically informed approach to holistic vitality for mature skin. Her self-care skin routine celebrates the process of positive ageing. Her formulations harness evidence-based ingredients to defend the skin against internal and external environmental aggressors, whilst nurturing the skin's natural radiance at every age.
