This guide is designed to help therapists confidently explain key skincare ingredients to clients — without sounding clinical, vague, or salesy.
It focuses on clear, client-friendly language, practical comparisons, and what to say (and avoid saying) in real consultations.
Featured throughout:
The Night Cream — a professional-grade formula containing biomimetic peptides (Progeline FF™), niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.
Why Ingredient Translation Matters in Consultation
Most clients don’t need — or want — a chemistry lesson.
What they want to know is:
- What will this do for my skin?
- Why do I need it?
- How will it fit into my routine?
Translating ingredients properly helps you:
- Build trust and credibility
- Reduce objections
- Position skincare as supportive, not confusing
How to Explain Peptides (Without Overclaiming)
Client-Friendly Explanation
“Peptides help support the skin’s firmness by encouraging it to behave more like younger skin.”
You can also say:
- “They help support skin structure over time.”
- “They’re used to improve firmness and elasticity.”
What Peptides Actually Do (Professional Understanding)
Biomimetic peptides are short chains of amino acids designed to mimic signals naturally found in the skin. They support:
- Skin structure
- Elasticity
- Long-term firmness
Progeline FF™ (How to Mention It)
Progeline FF™ is a clinically studied biomimetic peptide used in The Night Cream.
Safe professional phrasing:
- “This peptide has been studied for its role in supporting firmer-looking skin over time.”
- “It’s included to support elasticity and definition, especially overnight.”
Avoid:
- ❌ “It lifts your face”
- ❌ “It replaces collagen”
How to Explain Niacinamide
Client-Friendly Explanation
“Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin and improve how even and calm it looks.”
Alternative phrasing:
- “It supports the skin barrier.”
- “It helps skin look smoother and more balanced.”
Why Clients Care
Niacinamide is widely recognised and trusted, which makes it an excellent confidence-building ingredient in consultation.
It supports:
- Barrier strength
- Skin comfort
- Even-looking tone
Professional tip:
Use niacinamide to reassure clients who worry about sensitivity or long-term skin health.
How to Explain Hyaluronic Acid
Client-Friendly Explanation
“Hyaluronic acid helps hold moisture in the skin, keeping it plump and comfortable.”
Simple comparisons work well:
- “Think of it like a moisture reservoir for the skin.”
- “It helps skin stay hydrated overnight.”
Professional Context
Hyaluronic acid doesn’t firm the skin on its own — but it supports firmness indirectly by maintaining hydration and skin function.
This is why it works best alongside peptides and barrier-supporting ingredients.
How to Explain All Three Together (The Night Cream Example)
Client-ready explanation:
“The Night Cream works in layers — peptides support firmness, niacinamide strengthens the skin, and hyaluronic acid keeps it hydrated while you sleep.”
This approach:
- Sounds balanced and credible
- Avoids miracle claims
- Helps clients understand why the product is used at night

What to Say vs What to Avoid (Quick Guide)
Say This
- “Supports firmness and elasticity over time”
- “Designed to work with the skin overnight”
- “Helps maintain healthy skin structure”
Avoid This
- ❌ “Instant lift”
- ❌ “Replaces injections”
- ❌ “Rebuilds collagen overnight”
How This Improves Retail Conversion
When therapists explain ingredients clearly:
- Clients feel informed, not sold to
- Objections reduce naturally
- Retail feels like professional advice, not upselling
This is especially effective for night care products, where benefits are cumulative and trust-led.
Key Takeaway for Therapists
You don’t need to simplify ingredients — you need to translate them.
Using clear, honest language builds confidence in both the product and the professional recommending it.
