How to take
Apply 1 pump to clean, dry skin in the evening before moisturiser—our highly potent formula means a little goes a long way. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF30+ the next morning and for one week after discontinuing use. Gently pat into skin—avoid rubbing. Allow 5-10 minutes to absorb before applying additional products. For sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times per week for the first two weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts.
Storage
Our advanced airless pump bottles preserve potency and prevent oxidation, keeping your serum fresh and effective until the last drop. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. No refrigeration needed—the airless technology maintains stability at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve got the answers.
Is the Protect System suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes, the Protect System is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Our advanced retinoid alternatives (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and Bakuchiol) provide all the anti-ageing benefits of traditional retinoids without irritation, redness, or photosensitivity. Start with 2-3 times weekly application and gradually increase as your skin adapts.
Can I use the Protect System with other Complete by Dr SCS products?
Absolutely! Protect works beautifully with both Clarify (for mature acne-prone skin) and Radiance (for comprehensive anti-ageing with brightening). Use different serums morning and evening, and combine internal supplements for enhanced results. Always use SPF30+ when using any of our systems.
Do I need to use SPF with the Protect System?
Yes, while our retinoid alternatives don’t cause photosensitivity like traditional retinoids, we recommend using broad-spectrum SPF30+ daily during use and for one week after discontinuing. This maximises your anti-ageing results and protects your investment in healthier skin.
How does this compare to prescription retinoids?
Our advanced retinoid alternatives deliver comparable anti-ageing results without the side effects of prescription retinoids. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate provides similar benefits to tretinoin but with better tolerability, while Bakuchiol offers a plant-based alternative that’s safe for pregnancy and sensitive skin.
Can I break open the capsules if I don't like swallowing pills?
Yes! Our capsules can be opened and mixed into smoothies, yogurt, or other foods. This doesn’t affect the nutrients’ efficacy and provides flexibility for those who prefer not to swallow capsules. Avoid mixing with hot foods or drinks as heat can degrade the vitamins.
