Your Hormone-Friendly Skincare Starter Pack

Glow without compromise — a beginner’s guide to skincare that’s kind to your hormones.

Hormone-Friendly Skincare Matters — Here’s Why

Many conventional skincare products contain endocrine disruptors like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances that can interfere with your hormones. For women, especially those navigating period issues, PMS, PCOS, or simply wanting to glow naturally, these ingredients can wreak havoc on your cycle, skin, and mood.

At Aléora, we believe in beauty that supports your body — not battles it. Whether you're building your first skincare routine or wanting to swap out your current line-up for non-toxic alternatives, here’s your guide to the essentials. Hormone-safe. Wellness-approved. Glowing-skin guaranteed.

Your hormone-friendly skincare started pack:

1. Gentle Cleanser

Why You Need It: A cleanser removes dirt, oil, and residue from the skin, preventing clogged pores and breakouts.

Look For: Non-stripping, pH-balanced, fragrance-free cleansers.

Good For: All skin types — just choose one suited to your skin (e.g. gel for oily, cream for dry).

Hormone-Safe Picks:

• Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser

• The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser

2. Hydrating Toner or Essence

Why You Need It: Boosts hydration, preps skin to absorb serums better, and soothes irritation.

Look For: Glycerin, panthenol, centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid.

Good For: All skin types, especially dehydrated or sensitive.

Hormone-Safe Picks:

• Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water

• Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner

3. Targeted Serums

Why You Need It: This is where you treat your skin goals — from pigmentation to texture to glow.

Look For:

• Niacinamide (for oil control + brightening)

• Vitamin C (for glow + hyperpigmentation)

• Peptides (for anti-aging)

• Azelaic Acid (for redness + acne)

4. Moisturiser

Why You Need It: Locks in hydration and supports your skin barrier — essential for healing, glow, and long-term skin health.

Look For: Ceramides, squalane, hyaluronic acid, no added fragrance.

Good For: Choose a gel if oily, cream if dry, or barrier-repairing if compromised.

Hormone-Safe Picks:

• Byoma Moisturisers

• The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA

5. SPF (Daily, Always)

Why You Need It: Prevents premature ageing, protects from sun damage, and reduces pigmentation — even indoors.

Look For: Mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (avoid chemical filters if sensitive or hormone-conscious).

Good For: Every single skin type. No exceptions.

Hormone-Safe Picks:

• The Ordinary Mineral SPF

• Byoma Moisturising Gel SPF

Bonus: Night Treatments (1–2× Per Week)

Why You Need It: Actives like exfoliants or oils help you maintain your glow, reduce congestion, and boost skin renewal.

Look For:

• Lactic Acid or Mandelic Acid (gentle exfoliation)

• Rosehip Oil (rich in vitamin A, calming, repairing)

Good For: Dullness, bumpy texture, breakouts, and glow goals.
