Sanvela Routine Systems

Why was this routine developed?

From the age of 40, skin regeneration slows down – cell renewal decreases, loss of elasticity becomes more visible, and the skin needs intensive support at night. The Midnight Repair Ritual was developed to specifically utilize this nightly regeneration phase.

The combination of retinal in the eye serum and 0.1% retinol in the night cream works on multiple levels during sleep – ginseng and snail mucin simultaneously provide the skin with intense moisture and promote a smoother complexion in the morning.

Four products, coordinated for mature skin aged 40 and over – for experienced retinol users who want to take their night care to a new level.

Sanvela Skin Tip

The Secret to Maximum Midnight Regeneration

To optimally prepare your skin for the intensive active ingredients of retinol and snail mucin, we recommend a mild, water-based cleanser after using Beauty of Joseon Cleansing Oil. Only through this second step (double cleansing) will all pore-clogging residues be completely removed, allowing subsequent skincare to fully develop its effect.

Complement your midnight ritual with one of these favorites:

  • Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel: Cleanses particularly gently with a skin-neutral pH value and preserves essential skin moisture before retinol application.
  • Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Low pH Foaming Cleanser: A soothing cleansing foam that prevents irritation and protects the skin barrier during nightly cleansing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to your daily K-Beauty routine

Briefly explained – for intensive night care and smooth skin from 40.
For mature skin from 40 onwards - also suitable for retinol beginners. This set was put together with COSRX Retinol 0.1%, a gentle introductory concentration that is also well-tolerated by less experienced users. All products are coordinated for an intensive night care routine that doesn't overwhelm the skin.
Retinal is a precursor to retinol and works faster – it is directly converted into retinoic acid. However, it is also more potent and should be used judiciously. In the Midnight Repair Ritual, retinal is only used in the delicate eye area, while retinol is used on the face.
Yes. The COSRX Retinol 0.1% is specifically designed for those new to retinol – a low-dose, well-tolerated concentration. We recommend starting every other evening and observing tolerance. After 4-6 weeks, daily application can be introduced.
Yes – absolutely. Retinol makes the skin more photosensitive. Daily SPF50+ sun protection in the morning is not optional but necessary when actively using Retinol.
Initial changes in skin feel usually become apparent after 4–6 weeks. Visible improvements in elasticity and skin texture typically develop after 3–4 months of regular nightly application.
