Q: Who is the FF3 Menopause Support Protocol for?
A: The FF3 Menopause Support Protocol is designed for skin experiencing changes in texture, tone, and overall consistency over time. As renewal slows, fine lines, uneven tone, and dullness can become more noticeable and persistent. This protocol supports gentle, consistent exfoliation and hydration to improve the look of tone and texture, helping skin appear smoother, more even, and refined with continued use. It's suited to normal, combination, and oily skin in all skin tones.
Q: How does menopause affect the skin?
A: As hormone levels shift with age, skin renewal tends to slow and moisture retention decreases, so skin can look drier, duller, and less firm, with fine lines and uneven tone becoming more noticeable. This protocol is built for that stage, focusing on gentle exfoliation, deep hydration, and growth factor support to help skin look smoother, more even, and refreshed over time.
Q: What products are included in the FF3 Menopause Support Protocol?
A: The protocol includes four products designed to work together in sequence: the Cleansing Milk, FF3 Hydra Intensive HA, FF3 Biointensive GF, and Marine Skin Nourishment Cream. Each step is selected to support the next across your AM and PM routines.
Q: How strong is this protocol?
A: The FF3 Menopause Support Protocol is an Active Gentle protocol—a milder strength tier focused on hydration and gentle support rather than strong exfoliation. It's designed to be eased in gradually, making it well-suited to skin that wants noticeable support without harsh actives. Mild sensitivity is normal as your skin acclimates.
Q: How does this protocol work — what's doing the work?
A: The protocol pairs hydration and renewal support across your day and night routine. By day, the FF3 Hydra Intensive HA delivers hyaluronic acid to support deep, lasting hydration, while the Marine Skin Nourishment Cream helps nourish and soften. By night, the FF3 Biointensive GF provides growth factor support to help improve the appearance of texture and firmness as skin renews. Together they support a smoother, more even, more refreshed-looking complexion over time.
Q: How do I use the FF3 Menopause Support Protocol — what's the AM and PM routine?
A: Morning (AM):
- Cleansing Milk — Shake well. Apply in a circular motion to the face and neck, then rinse thoroughly.
- FF3 Hydra Intensive HA — Apply daily over the entire area before moisturizer.
- Marine Skin Nourishment Cream — Massage evenly over the face, neck, and chest as needed.
Evening (PM):
- Cleansing Milk — Cleanse as in the morning.
- FF3 Biointensive GF — May be used on the face, neck, and chest. Begin every other night for the first week, increasing to nightly as skin acclimates.
- Marine Skin Nourishment Cream — Massage evenly over the face, neck, and chest as needed.
Q: What does FF3 Hydra Intensive HA do in this protocol?
A: FF3 Hydra Intensive HA is the hydration step, used in your morning routine before moisturizer. It delivers hyaluronic acid to support deep, lasting hydration—helping skin look plumper, smoother, and more refreshed, which is especially valuable as skin tends to lose moisture over time. Apply daily over the entire area.
Q: What does FF3 Biointensive GF do in this protocol?
A: FF3 Biointensive GF is the nighttime corrector, providing growth factor support to help improve the appearance of texture, firmness, and overall tone as skin renews overnight. Begin every other night for the first week, increasing to nightly as your skin acclimates. It can be used on the face, neck, and chest.
Q: Is this protocol gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin?
A: Yes. As an Active Gentle protocol without retinoids or strong exfoliating acids, it focuses on hydration and supportive renewal—making it a comfortable choice for skin that's become drier or more reactive over time. Easing in the FF3 Biointensive GF every other night during the first week helps your skin acclimate.
Q: Do I need to wear sunscreen with this protocol?
A: Yes. Daily sun protection supports your results and overall skin health, and helps protect against the look of further uneven tone and fine lines. Apply sunscreen each morning, reapply every two hours with sun exposure, and wear a hat outdoors. We recommend Vivant's Day Lotion Sunscreen SPF 15—a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that absorbs quickly without greasiness.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: A protocol works through synergy, consistency, and time. Following the complete routine for at least 30 days helps support visible improvement as skin moves through its natural renewal cycle. Surface-level changes may appear earlier, while deeper improvement continues to build with consistent, longer-term use.
Q: Is it normal to experience any sensitivity?
A: Mild sensitivity can occasionally occur as skin adjusts to the FF3 Biointensive GF. If it occurs, skip a few days and resume at a lower frequency, then build back up gradually as your skin tolerates. If sensitivity persists, reduce usage.
Q: Do I get a discount when I buy the full protocol?
A: Yes, receive 10% off when you purchase the FF3 Menopause Support Protocol as a complete protocol versus buying each product individually.

A: Yes. If you're unsure whether the FF3 Menopause Support Protocol is right for you, schedule a complimentary virtual consultation with one of our in-house aestheticians to confirm the best protocol for your skin.
