Autumn Skincare Switch: Why Your Summer Products No Longer Work

16-09-2025 | Posted in: Blogs, Products, Skin Treatments

Autumn brings cooler air, central heating, and lower humidity — and your skin will feel the difference. Where summer products are often lighter, autumn calls for hydration, barrier repair, and brightening. The best approach is tailoring your skincare to your unique skin type. At Vie Aesthetics, we prescribe medical-grade products from ZO® Skin Health and AlumierMD, designed to deliver real, visible results. 

Finding the Right Products for Your Skin

Personalised swaps for every concern

Not all skin reacts to seasonal changes in the same way. Some people notice more dryness, while others see breakouts or worsening pigmentation after summer. To help you adapt with confidence, we’ve created tailored recommendations for different skin types. Each section below outlines the most effective autumn product swaps using ZO® Skin Health and AlumierMD — so you can easily find what works best for you.

Dry & Dehydrated Skin

Restore moisture and repair your barrier

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or uncomfortable as the temperature drops, it needs richer hydration and barrier support.

  • ZO® Hydrating Crème – deeply nourishes and restores moisture balance.

  • AlumierMD Ultimate Boost Serum – a hyaluronic acid-based serum to plump and hydrate.

  • AlumierMD Sheer Hydration SPF 40 Untinted – lightweight daily protection that prevents further dehydration.

  • We recommend ZO® Hydrating Crème, a soothing formula designed to calm, hydrate, and restore the skin barrier. It is particularly beneficial for dry or sensitised skin, which is common at this time of year.

Adding a product like this ensures your skin stays supple and resilient, even when exposed to colder winds and dry indoor air.

Oily & Congested Skin

Balance oil and keep your glow without clogging pores

Many people with oily or acne-prone skin make the mistake of stripping too much in autumn, which only triggers more oil production. The key is gentle exfoliation and consistent hydration.

  • ZO® Exfoliating Polish – smooths skin and unclogs pores with fine magnesium crystals.

  • ZO® Complexion Clearing Program Kit – a complete system to keep breakouts under control.

  • AlumierMD Bright & Clear Solution – refines texture with gentle acids, keeping skin clear and radiant.

Pigmentation & Sun-Damaged Skin

Fade summer sun spots and even out skin tone

Autumn is the perfect time to tackle pigmentation and sun damage from the summer months. With less sun exposure, your skin is more responsive to brightening and repair products.

  • ZO® C-Bright 10% Vitamin C Serum – antioxidant protection and brightening power.

  • ZO® Skin Brightening System Kit (Non-HQ) – a comprehensive protocol to reduce pigmentation safely.

  • ZO® Retinol Skin Brightener – promotes even tone and smoother texture.

Ageing & Mature Skin

Boost collagen and restore elasticity

Colder weather can highlight fine lines, crepiness, and loss of elasticity. Medical-grade actives work to stimulate collagen and improve firmness.

  • ZO® Growth Factor Serum – supports skin structure and reduces fine lines.

  • ZO® Wrinkle + Texture Repair (0.5% Retinol) – promotes cell renewal for smoother, firmer skin.

  • AlumierMD Radiance Collection Kit – combines actives to hydrate, brighten, and smooth ageing skin.

Why Medical-Grade Skincare Matters

High-street skincare often lacks the concentration and clinical testing required to make real changes in your skin. ZO® Skin Health and AlumierMD are medical-grade ranges that deliver results you can see and feel, with active ingredients proven to target skin concerns at the source.
