Transitioning Your Skincare for Fall: Spotlight on Hyaluronic Peptide Serum, Caffeine Eye Complex, and Green Tea & Caffeine Lotion

By Jennifer Baron, M.D.

As the crisp air of fall arrives, our skin’s needs shift just as much as our wardrobes do. The drop in humidity, cooler temperatures, and indoor heating can all contribute to dryness, sensitivity, and dullness. Now is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine with formulas that deliver deep hydration, barrier support, and targeted rejuvenation. Here’s how I recommend transitioning your regimen for autumn—plus, my top picks from the JBMD Skincare line to keep your skin healthy, radiant, and resilient all season long.

1. Gentle Cleansing for a Delicate Season
Start by swapping your foaming or gel cleanser for a hydrating, cream-based formula. This helps maintain your skin’s moisture balance as the air becomes drier. Remember, lukewarm water is best—hot water can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin more vulnerable to irritation.

2. Mindful Exfoliation
While summer may have called for more frequent exfoliation, fall is the time to scale back. Opt for gentle exfoliating treatments just once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells without compromising your skin’s barrier. Over-exfoliation can lead to increased dryness and sensitivity, so less is more.

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
This is where your fall routine truly shines. Incorporate a hydrating serum like my Hyaluronic Peptide Serum—a powerhouse blend that draws moisture deep into the skin and locks it in with advanced peptides. This serum plumps, smooths, and supports your skin’s natural barrier, making it an essential step as the weather cools.

For the delicate eye area, my Caffeine Eye Complex is a must. This targeted formula combines caffeine to reduce puffiness and dark circles with hydrating and soothing ingredients to keep the under-eye area bright and refreshed, even as the days get shorter.

Don’t forget your body! My Green Tea & Caffeine Lotion delivers antioxidant protection and lightweight hydration, perfect for arms, legs, and anywhere that needs a moisture boost. The addition of caffeine helps to invigorate the skin, while green tea soothes and defends against environmental stressors.

4. Sun Protection—Year Round
Just because the sun feels less intense doesn’t mean you can skip SPF. UV rays penetrate clouds and windows, so daily sunscreen remains non-negotiable. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning, and reapply as needed.

5. Care for Your Body and Lips
As you transition your facial routine, remember to moisturize your body and protect your lips. Apply a nourishing body lotion after every shower, and keep a hydrating lip balm on hand to prevent chapping.

Bonus Tip: Consider a Humidifier
Adding a humidifier to your bedroom or workspace can help maintain optimal moisture levels in the air, preventing your skin from becoming dry and tight.

The Takeaway
Fall is a time for renewal and self-care. By choosing gentle, hydrating, and antioxidant-rich products like the Hyaluronic Peptide Serum, Caffeine Eye Complex, and Green Tea & Caffeine Lotion, you’ll help your skin transition smoothly into the new season—staying healthy, luminous, and comfortable no matter what the weather brings.
