radford starter kit

We've carefully crafted ingredients that work together for an effective, yet gentle routine focusing on the essentials your skin craves: cell regeneration, exfoliation, and hydration—the foundation of radiant, healthy skin.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

CLEAN, the only cleanser (47 ml)- A pH balanced daily cleanser with three Signature ingredients that gently resurfaces to reveal glowing and hydrated skin.

BUFF, the exfoliant (100 ml) - Combat dead skin and dullness with your new daily exfoliant. BUFF works to reduce congestion and allows your skincare to absorb more effectively, revealing a natural glow. The blend of natural beads and fruit enzymes is gentle enough for everyday use, while still packing a punch. Science-backed exfoliation for real, noticeable results.

TONE, the resurfacer (47 ml) - This powerful toning gel effectively exfoliates the skin. The ultimate resurfacing treatment containing vitamin B3 and AHA.

BOOST, the serum (28 ml) - The only serum you need. A powerful combination of vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid. BOOST helps target past skin damage and protects against premature aging caused by environmental factors.

EYE, the bright cream (30 ml) - Formulated with reflective qualities and radford's Signature vitamin B3 to neutralize dark circles while also moisturizing the under-eye to give the look of a full night's sleep.

BUTTER, the thick cream (30 ml) - This skin-restoring formula starts as a thick cream and melts into the skin like butter. It’s rich without feeling greasy, leaving skin feeling lifted and plumped, while addressing dullness and dehydration. Designed specifically for acne-prone or sensitive skin types that crave moisture without the risk of breakouts, BUTTER works from the inside out to lock in
hydration and promote healthy skin cell turnover.

GLOW, the illuminator (28 ml)
- Your skin’s instant pick me up. This lightweight formula creates a mirror effect to provide a smoother-looking complexion. Developed as a universally flattering shade for the perfect glow - no matter your skin tone.

CLINICALLY-BACKED RESULTS

Our 7-step skincare routine features Signature Ingredients that work in harmony to:

Improve skin texture and tone: Glycolic and lactic acid (AHAs) exfoliate the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion.

Hydrate and replenish skin:
Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramide NP combine to draw and lock in moisture, enhancing the skin's natural barrier and protecting it from environmental aggressors. Together, these three ingredients help keep the skin healthy, hydrated and resilient.

Enhance skin barrier function: Niacinamide (vitamin B3), vitamin A, and ceramide NP work together to fortify the skin barrier. Their synergistic action supports overall skin health, protecting against environmental stressors and gradually strengthening the skin's moisture barrier over time with consistent use.

Brighten and even out skin tone: The blend of AHAs, activated charcoal, and vitamin C is scientifically proven to brighten the skin. These ingredients work together to resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving you with a healthy, radiant glow.

Protect and repair: Our carefully formulated blend of powerful antioxidants helps protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. When combined with our restorative Signature ingredients, such as vitamin A, our formulas work overnight to repair and rejuvenate the skin, providing a balanced delivery system of effective ingredients for overall skin health.

The Signature Ingredients

We believe the key to your best skin lies in a handful of clinically-backed ingredients, which is why every formula is built around six essential ingredients chosen for their proven efficacy.

Meet radford's Signature Six Ingredients:

Vitamin C
Essential for daytime use, vitamin C combats free radicals caused by UV rays and pollution, helping to protect against premature aging. When paired with Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid, it becomes eight times more effective. Vitamin C, a key ingredient in skincare, is one of the most studied antioxidants. It brightens the complexion, supports collagen production, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a vital addition to any skincare routine.
Found in: BOOST, CLEAN, TINT, GLOW

AHAs / BHAs
AHAs (like lactic and glycolic acid) work on the skin’s surface to gently remove dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin. BHAs (like salicylic acid) penetrate deeper to clear pores and prevent breakouts. A good identifier for an effective AHA / BHA formula is the inclusion of niacinamide to enhance the effectiveness, as well as by its viscosity. The thicker and tackier the formula, the more effective it is. Together, they enhance skin renewal for smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.
Found in: TONE, BUFF, CLEAN, GLOW

Ceramides
Ceramides are essential for retaining moisture in the skin and help to restore and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, protecting against environmental stressors. When paired with other Signature ingredients such as peptides for enhanced efficacy, ceramides play a crucial role in maintaining healthy, hydrated and resilient skin.
Found in: BUTTER, TINT

Vitamin A
Essential for nighttime repair, Vitamin A works to repair and rejuvenate the skin while countering the effects of glycation on collagen production. It boosts cell turnover, stimulates collagen, and fights fine lines, acne, and dark spots. It enhances elasticity, refines texture, and promotes a youthful, radiant glow. Incorporating Vitamin A into your routine can lead to healthier skin over all.
Found in: BUTTER, GLOW, TINT

Vitamin B
Vitamin B, particularly B3 (Niacinamide), is a powerhouse for skin hydration and barrier repair. It helps even out skin tone, reduce redness, and improve skin elasticity. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Vitamin B also regulates oil production, making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It boosts skin’s natural resilience, leaving it looking smoother, more balanced, and healthy.
Found in: PATCH, CLEAN, BOOST, GLOW, EYE, TONE, BUTTER

Peptides / HA
Peptides are amino acid chains that help stimulate collagen production, improving skin’s firmness and elasticity. When paired with Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful hydrator that attracts moisture to the skin, this duo works synergistically to plump, smooth, and rejuvenate the complexion. Together, they enhance skin’s strength and hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and promoting a youthful, radiant glow.
Found in: BOOST, EYE, FIX, TINT
