Professor Caitriona Ryan's own anti-ageing routine, in one bundle
Save €58 when you buy the five products together.
These are the five products Professor Caitriona Ryan, Consultant Dermatologist and co founder of the Institute of Dermatologists, uses on her own skin and recommends to her patients. The routine is built around one principle: a retinoid works best on skin with a healthy barrier, protected every single day. It cleanses gently, supports the barrier morning and night, adds her retinol of choice in the evening, and finishes with a mineral SPF 50.
Suitable for mature, dry and sensitive skin.
What is included
1. EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser
A gentle foaming cleanser that removes sunscreen and makeup without stripping. Clinically shown to strengthen the skin barrier in 7 days. Bisabolol and ginger root extract help calm the look of redness.
2. EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner
An essence toner with EltaMD's patented AAComplex, a blend of three amino acids that helps support a barrier stressed by the environment. Used after cleansing to hydrate and prepare the skin.
3. Clinical Skin Retinol + Peptide Refining Serum
Professor Ryan's retinol of choice. Pure retinol is paired with bakuchiol, a gentler retinol alternative, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide 38, a peptide that supports the skin's structure. Niacinamide and allantoin help keep skin calm while it adjusts.
4. EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex
A ceramide moisturiser with squalane, vitamin E and enzymes. In a clinical study, it improved dry, compromised skin within 24 hours. Used morning and night, it gives the retinol a strong barrier to work on.
5. EltaMD UV AOX Elements SPF 50 Tinted
A 100% mineral sunscreen with 13.5% zinc oxide and 4.4% titanium dioxide, plus antioxidants including vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, with a sheer tint that suits a wide range of skin tones. Water resistant for 40 minutes.
Why this routine works
Retinoids are among the most studied topical ingredients for ageing skin, but they only work if you can use them consistently. Most people give up because of dryness and irritation, not because the retinoid stopped working. This routine is built to prevent that: a barrier first approach in the morning and evening, so the retinol can do its job at night.
Daily mineral SPF matters just as much. Without it, the work done overnight is undone during the day.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Professor Ryan's own routine?
Yes. These are the five products Professor Caitriona Ryan uses herself and recommends to her patients.
How much do I save?
Bought separately, the five products cost €386. Together, the bundle is €328, a saving of €58.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The routine is built around supporting the skin barrier, and the EltaMD products are fragrance free. Introduce the retinol gradually if your skin is reactive.
Can I use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. The Retinol + Peptide Refining Serum is not suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy.
Will the retinol make my skin peel?
Some mild dryness can happen in the first few weeks. Using it every other night at first, with Barrier Renewal Complex on top, helps your skin adjust.
Do I need to use all five products?
The routine is designed to work together, but the most important steps are daily SPF in the morning and the retinol at night.
