Product
We’re glad you want to learn more! Each product page has a ton of detail about what each product does, what’s inside, and how to use it. We always strive to be transparent, providing exact percentages of ingredients, product pH ranges, sensitivity, and more important details.
If you want to geek out with us, check out the Regimen Product Guide for a deeper breakdown of what's in our products.
You can always email hi@regimenlab.com or DM us on IG with questions/comments.
Skincare products will technically work in any order, so if you’re just getting started, don’t stress about this. That said, the order in which you apply skincare products can impact their effectiveness.
For those looking to maximize their regimen, here’s what we suggest:
AM:
- Wash with water/cleanser (Tabula Rasa)
- Dry face immediately
- Apply Vitamin X and give it a moment to dry
- Dampen face with water then apply Wave Serum
- Apply C.R.E.A.M. Apply your favorite sunscreen (sorry, we don’t make one … yet)
- Have a great day!
PM:
- Wash with cleanser (Tabula Rasa)
- Dry face immediately
- Apply Level Serum
- Dampen face with water then apply Wave Serum
- Apply C.R.E.A.M.
- Get ~8 hours of sleep!
We recommend introducing products one at a time. Allow your skin to acclimate to the product before adding another product to your routine. This method also gives you a chance, in case of a breakout, to figure out which product is causing the problem. Learn more about patch testing in our We recommend introducing products one at a time.

The majority of our products are vegan (and 100% of our founders are vegetarian or vegan!). There are two exceptions where we cannot source vegan ingredients, they are as follows:
- Level Serum contains N-Acetyl Glucosamine, which is derived from exoskeletons (shells) of crustaceans (a byproduct of shellfish production)
- C.R.E.A.M., like all ceramide-containing products, has cholesterol derived from the oil in sheep’s wool (a byproduct of wool production).
While we strive to make all our products vegan, efficacy is still our priority. We are continually seeking alternatives for these ingredients without compromising our objective to deliver the best performing products possible.
Our products have a shelf life of 1 year from opening. We currently recommend using Vitamin X within 6 months for best results, pending the results of our extended use testing.
First of all, we cannot and should not provide medical advice. Before using any skincare product you should consult a doctor or medical professional.
If you believe a product is breaking you out:
Some skincare ingredients can accelerate skin cell turnover, while others are capable of exfoliating the oil ducts and the hair follicle lining. This can lead to what’s known as “purging”, where previously undisturbed bacteria are forced to the surface of the skin, possibly causing the appearance of breakouts. This "purging out" is somewhat common when first using products packed with actives. Don’t fret, it goes away in a few days. If breaking out persists, you might be sensitive to an ingredient in the product. Stop using it, email us and we can help you.
No. All testing involves human volunteers (the Regimen Team are the first test subjects!) and lab-grown cell cultures.
We do not purchase from suppliers that use animal testing (this is in line with EU regulations) nor do we sell in countries (like China) whose regulations mandate animal testing.
I still have more questions
Yes.
Tabula Rasa is fully recyclable in most municipalities, and most will recycle the bottle if separated from the cap.
Because municipalities vary, we also accept recycling! To reduce shipping emissions, we ask that you send a minimum of three bottles at a time.

Although we don’t offer sample sizes for our products, we do offer samples of upcoming products to our R&D testers. Click here to learn more.
Regimen Lab formulates and manufactures our products ourselves, in our own lab. After our extensive research and prototyping phase, we work with a panel of skincare geeks and ordinary people to test our products on everything from how they feel to how they perform over time.
We’re always looking to grow this panel to improve the quality of our products. If you’re interested, apply here.
Company
We are a team of scientist-led skincare geeks making the best skincare more accessible. We’re based in Toronto, where we formulate and produce our products out of our lab. A few things that make us different:
• All our products are based on independent, peer-reviewed scientific research. While many brands say this, here’s how we prove it:
••We start with high quality research and clinical trials. We are transparent about which studies inform our product development.
••We formulate our products ourselves and we are transparent about the percentages of key ingredients in our products
••We manufacture our products ourselves.
