How a routine is built
Morning and evening, skincare follows the same order. The colibri Basic Routine covers the steps that matter at the start: cleansing, hydration, and care for day and night. You can add everything else later.
-
1
Cleanser
Removes dirt, sebum and, in the evening, traces of sunscreen and make-up. The right cleanser for your skin type is included in the colibri Basic Routine.
-
2
Toner
Optional. Preps the skin or delivers a first dose of actives. You don't need one to get started, so it isn't part of the colibri Basic Routine.
-
3
Actives / Serums (Booster)
Active ingredients for a specific skin goal. The colibri Basic Routine includes the Hyaluron Booster for hydration. Targeted boosters, for dark spots or blemishes for example, only come in when you need them.
-
4
Moisturizer
Seals the skin and locks in moisture. The colibri Basic Routine contains two moisturizers, one for the day and one for the night.
-
5
Sun protection (SPF)
Mornings only, as the last step. Protects your skin from UV rays every day, even when it's cloudy.
You don't have to work your way through every category. The colibri Basic Routine contains the four products that count when you're starting out. Which four depends on your skin type.
Less is more
At colibri, we formulate every product with a focus on high skin tolerance. When dosing active ingredients, we follow concentrations that studies have shown to be effective. For selected products we also have our own efficacy studies, and you'll find the results on each product page.
Especially at the start, it helps your skin if you don't overload it with lots of products and actives. That's why the four products in the colibri Basic Routine are matched to each other. Their active ingredients are dosed so that they work and your skin can get used to them easily. We deliberately avoid particularly high concentrations here. All products in the colibri Basic Routine are dermatologically tested and also suitable for sensitive skin.
- Fragrance / perfume
- PEGs
- Mineral oil
- Silicones
- Vegan
- Dermatologically tested
- Actives dosed in line with studies
- Made in Germany
We also leave out mineral oil, PEGs and silicones for environmental reasons: mineral oil is derived from petroleum, PEGs are generally made from fossil raw materials, and silicones break down only slowly in the environment.
What's your skin type?
Skincare only works when it suits your skin. Wash your face with lukewarm water, wait 30 minutes and notice how your skin feels. This is how to recognise your skin type:
Not sure? Choose "Balanced skin", the most versatile starting point.
Your colibri Basic Routine
To suit your skin type, we've put together four products that are matched to one another: a cleanser, the Hyaluron Booster for hydration, and two moisturizers for day and night.
Purifying Gel Cleanser
Effective cleansing for a improved skin texture
Hyaluron Booster
Hyaluronic acid for a moisturized skin
Calming Moisturizer
Pleasantly soothed skin feeling for sensitive skin
Night Cream Moisturizer
Improved skin texture overnight with retinol
Why this selection
Combination skin gets shiny in the T-zone and tends to be dry on the cheeks. This routine brings both into balance. The Purifying Gel Cleanser clears the pores with salicylic acid (BHA) and zinc without drying out the skin. The Hyaluron Booster hydrates the drier areas. During the day, the Calming Moisturizer soothes with Centella Asiatica and panthenol, while at night the Night Cream rebalances with ceramides and retinol. This brings oily and dry areas closer together.
How to use it
Morning: Apply the cleanser to damp skin, massage in with circular motions and rinse with lukewarm water. Gently pat the Hyaluron Booster into still slightly damp skin (one pump is enough) and let it absorb briefly. Then massage the day moisturizer into your face, neck and décolleté.
Evening: Cleanse, then massage the night moisturizer into your face, neck and décolleté. You don't need the booster in the evening. The rich night moisturizer takes care of hydration overnight.
Tip: Always apply the booster to slightly damp skin. That's how hyaluronic acid binds the most moisture. You'll find detailed instructions on every product page.
- A complete Basic Routine, with products finely matched to each other. For most people, that's already everything their skin needs.
- Carefully combined actives that complement each other instead of overwhelming your skin.

Morning
- Purifying Gel Cleanser: apply to damp skin, massage in with circular motions and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Hyaluron Booster: pat one pump into still slightly damp skin and let it absorb briefly.
- Calming Moisturizer: massage into your face, neck and décolleté.
Evening
- Purifying Gel Cleanser: use as in the morning.
- Night Cream Moisturizer: massage into your face, neck and décolleté. Your night moisturizer looks after your skin overnight, so you don't need the Hyaluron Booster in the evening.
Tip: Always apply the Hyaluron Booster to slightly damp skin, as that's how hyaluronic acid binds the most moisture. You'll find detailed instructions on every product page and in the enclosed leaflet.
The colibri Basic Routine cleanses, hydrates and cares for your skin. This brings it into a balanced, healthy state. For most people, that's exactly the right foundation. As long as you don't have a specific skin concern (such as pronounced dark spots or acne), this routine is all you need. You can add targeted active boosters at any time later on.
Most customers notice the first visible effects within the first few weeks. The full result develops over time. Skincare is a gradual process, not an instant effect.
If you want to target something specific later
Start with the colibri Basic Routine and give your skin a few weeks. If you then want to address a particular concern, you simply add the one product for it. That keeps your routine manageable.
