A practical skincare guide for perimenopause and menopause

When familiar skincare stops feeling right, it can be difficult to know what to change first. Start with how your skin feels today, then adjust one part of your routine at a time.

Skin can change in different ways

Dryness, greater sensitivity and changes in the look of firmness can accompany menopause. Not everyone experiences the same combination or needs the same products. The American Academy of Dermatology’s menopause guide explains common changes and care options.

Your experience matters more than an age printed on a jar. A routine should remain responsive to your skin through perimenopause and beyond.

Start with a manageable routine

A gentle cleanser, a moisturiser that feels comfortable and appropriate sun protection provide a practical starting point. Follow the directions on each product. Keep existing products that work well instead of replacing everything together.

Write down your main concern: perhaps your face feels tight after cleansing, makeup sits differently or the eye area needs more attention. That gives each purchase a purpose.

Choose one starting product

Truff’elle’s Black Truffle Peptide Cream is the face cream in the range. It comes in a 50mL size and a 20mL Discovery. The smaller jar lets you explore its place in your routine without starting with the larger size.

The Eye Cream is a separate 20mL product for the eye area and contains retinol. Read its directions and suitability information before adding it, particularly if you already use retinoids. The Duo brings the 50mL face cream and 20mL eye cream together.

Leave room for individual advice

Persistent irritation, a new skin problem or questions about prescribed treatments deserve individual advice from your health professional. Skincare cannot replace that conversation.
