Hormonal changes
Regeneration, comfort and skin barrier support

During hormonal changes, skin can lose hydration, elasticity and comfort more quickly. At Oio Lab, we develop formulas around these needs — from a regenerating cream designed for skin from perimenopause through postmenopause to complementary care that supports hydration, firmness, soothing and skin balance.

How do hormonal changes affect the skin?

How do hormonal changes affect the skin?

Hormonal changes can affect the skin’s regeneration processes as well as its ability to maintain hydration and comfort. Skin may begin to respond differently than before — becoming drier, tighter or more reactive, while a previously effective skincare routine may no longer feel sufficient. During this time, it is worth supporting the skin on multiple levels without overloading it — by supporting regeneration, the skin barrier, soothing and its ability to maintain everyday balance.

How to build a routine for skin during hormonal changes

Hormonal changes can affect the skin in different ways. Facial skin may lose hydration and elasticity more quickly, becoming drier, more reactive or tight. It is also worth including scalp care — comfort and balance are important for maintaining a healthy-looking scalp and hair.

FULVIC IONIC

Restore balance to the face and scalp

Apply the mineral toner to cleansed skin and gently press it in with your fingertips. Fulvic Ionic remineralises, hydrates and supports skin balance, preparing it for the next steps in the routine. It can also be used on the scalp when it needs additional comfort and balance.

ALL IN EYE

Support the eye area and eyelids

Apply the serum under the eyes and to the upper eyelid. All In Eye supports hydration, firmness and the structure of the delicate eye area — particularly when the skin around the eyes feels less comfortable, looks tired or appears less firm.

THE FOREST RETREAT

Calm the skin and restore comfort

Reach for the light, creamy emulsion when the skin becomes more reactive, redness-prone or exposed to stress. The Forest Retreat reduces redness while supporting the skin barrier, its natural protective mechanisms and skin comfort.

SUPERPAUSE

Regenerate, nourish and support the barrier

Apply Superpause as the main skincare step during hormonal changes. The cream supports regeneration, nourishment, elasticity and skin comfort, as well as the skin barrier — particularly when the skin becomes drier, more demanding or less supple.

Efficacy confirmed by advanced testing

Skin going through hormonal changes needs more than a standard moisturising cream. The key is to support regeneration, comfort, the skin barrier, elasticity and the skin’s ability to maintain hydration.

That’s why Oio Lab skincare in this category is built around one main formula — Superpause — alongside products that support hydration, soothing, skin balance and long-term skin condition at different stages of the daily routine.

The main regenerating step is Superpause — an ultra-rich cream developed for skin during hormonal changes, from perimenopause through postmenopause. The formula combines active ingredients selected for the skin’s needs during this time: chasteberry extract, liposomal melatonin and Natural Glycoin.

Instrumental testing uses specialised measuring equipment to assess real changes in skin parameters — rather than relying solely on subjective impressions after application.

That’s why, when choosing skincare for skin during hormonal changes, it is worth looking beyond a rich texture and considering the formula’s mechanism of action, its support for the skin barrier and the testing results that confirm its efficacy.

How to choose additional steps based on your skin’s needs

When skin feels dry, tight or dehydrated

Choose Aquasphere as a serum that supports multi-level hydration. It works well before Superpause when the skin needs additional support in maintaining hydration and comfort.

FAQ – Hormonal Changes

The main formula for skin during hormonal changes is Superpause — a regenerating cream developed for skin from perimenopause through postmenopause. You can complement the routine with Aquasphere when dryness and dehydration are the main concerns, The Forest Retreat for reactivity and redness, Intercellular when firmness needs additional support, All In Eye for the eye area, and Fulvic Ionic when changes also affect scalp comfort.

A regenerating cream can be the main skincare step during hormonal changes, but it can often be useful to complement the routine with a hydrating serum, a toner that supports skin balance or a calming formula. The right combination depends on whether dryness, tightness, reactivity, loss of firmness or scalp discomfort is more noticeable.

Superpause was developed specifically for skin during hormonal changes — from perimenopause through postmenopause. It supports regeneration, hydration, nourishment, elasticity and skin comfort, addressing needs that often become more noticeable during this time.

Yes. Hormonal changes can affect not only facial skin but also scalp comfort, balance and oiliness. That is why Fulvic Ionic can be a useful addition to the routine — a mineral toner for the face and scalp that supports hydration, comfort and balance.
