Skincare in Switzerland — The Routine That’s Right for Your Skin
Skincare is more than just a single product—it’s a routine consisting of coordinated steps: cleansing, active ingredient serum, moisturizer, and sun protection. At BONSANA, you’ll find over 50 skincare products from a curated selection of leading brands: SKIN REPUBLIC (active-ingredient masks from South Africa), SKINCYCLOPEDIA (active-ingredient skincare made in the EU), HIDEHERE (K-Beauty without a 10-step routine), MAD HIPPIE (clean beauty from Oregon).
Everything ships from our Swiss warehouse, with 24-hour shipping and free shipping on orders of CHF 50 or more.
What makes up a good skincare routine?
The basic routine consists of four steps: cleansing (morning and evening), active ingredient serum (tailored to your skin’s needs), moisturizer (day or night cream), and sunscreen (essential during the day). Optionally supplemented with weekly masks or eye patches.

FAQ on Skincare
What’s the correct order for a skincare routine?
The rule of thumb: from thinnest to thickest. Start with water-based textures (toner, essence, serum), then creams, and finish with sunscreen. Use acids and retinol only in the evening; vitamin C only in the morning.
Which active ingredients are best for which skin concerns?
For dry skin: hyaluronic acid and ceramides. For blemish-prone skin: salicylic acid and niacinamide. For dull skin: vitamin C. For mature skin: retinol or Matrixyl 3000. For sensitive skin: Centella asiatica (Cica) and ceramides.
Can I combine different active ingredients?
Yes, but do so systematically. Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide can be combined. Use vitamin C in the morning and retinol or AHA/BHA in the evening. Never apply vitamin C and retinol directly on top of each other.
Do I need sunscreen even in winter?
Yes. UV radiation is present year-round—and is even more intense in the snow due to reflection. A day cream with SPF 30 or higher is the simplest solution.
Are the products vegan?
The majority of our facial care lineup is vegan. SKIN REPUBLIC, SKINCYCLOPEDIA, HIDEHERE, and MAD HIPPIE are all vegan and cruelty-free.
