Boost | Face Serum With Collagen

Yes! Happy Skin by Lisa Curry is proudly Australian made!

The range has been specially formulated for everyone from teenagers and onwards. We designed the skincare range to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and for all genders.

We recommend our products be applied in the following order for optimal results:

 - Cleanse - Exfoliate - Boost - Revive

We recommend waiting 30-60 seconds between steps. You may apply a sunscreen at the end.

All products are free from nasties! No parabens, petrochemicals, Nanotechnology, or chemical preservatives.

Happy Skin by Lisa Curry is not an organic product, it’s a cosmeceutical product - created to deliver skin results from within. Our focus is age prevention and age correction so we pick active ingredients that will help reach these goals.

Cosmeceutical Skincare is a blend of science and nature. The combination of medical grade synthetics with highly active natural ingredients that can change the skin. 

To make a skin difference, skincare requires active ingredients. In most cases, these do not come out of the ground - and if they do, they are a gentle skin persuasion, rather than a treatment active.

We always recommend starting your new skin routine slowly and steadily. Gradually introduce each product to the skin and don’t overdo it to begin with. This allows your skin to become accustomed to the active ingredients.

Without a doubt, this is one of the many benefits of using cosmeceutical probiotic skincare as opposed to cosmetics.

Both the Cleanse and Exfoliate are wash-off products and have a beautiful light fragrance, as does our Revive treatment hydrator cream. Our fragrances are low allergen and are specifically chosen to promote a beautiful skin-friendly experience.

This can differ from person to person, the status of their skin health, and what they have or haven’t been doing prior to looking after their skin.

Given that the skin cycle is approximately 28 days, it would be fair to say this is a good expectation before you see results. This is, of course, not to say many see results after a few days.

We do not currently offer samples, however we may offer this in 2022.

Our co-founder Lisa Curry struggled to find a skincare brand that was natural, highly effective, and had a simple 4-step process - especially when it came to being age-defying and delivering visible results for common skin concerns. When she looked into the science behind using probiotics, Lisa was blown away by how powerful probiotics in skincare could be. 

Working with leading skin chemists, we perfected Happy Skin by Lisa Curry - offering probiotic cosmeceutical skincare that ticks all the boxes. It’s science- & holistic-focused, rich in the very best ingredients from nature (high-performance vitamins and probiotic actives), free from all nasties, vegan friendly, yet is also simple to use and understand, with just 4 products & steps for optimal skin health. Skincare that is holistic, highly effective and powered by probiotics.

The Optimal Skin Guide plus meal suggestions is a 41-page PDF that you can download which contains steps about how to care for your skin from within and features research-based nutritional recipes to follow. It may help repair and enhance internal mechanisms associated with skin health.

Yes! These products are cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan-friendly and non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog or block your pores.

We believe skincare should be natural and powerful, yet simple to use and understand. Our simple 4-step skincare system is created for all skin types to deliver effective, science-backed antioxidants and probiotics to your skin with just 4 products (Cleanse, Exfoliate, Boost and Revive) used morning and night.

Cleanse:  Twice daily. Morning & night (twice at night if removing makeup)

Exfoliate:  1-3 times a week only (depending on your skin) 

Boost:  Once or twice daily (depending on your skin) 

Revive:  Twice daily. Morning & night. Follow with SPF.

Yes, all four products are safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For extra caution, you can do a patch test before use and confirm with your health practitioner that the products are suitable for you.

They have been purposefully created to support age management; balanced microbiome; collagen production; hydration, and nourishment - beneficial to all skin types.

Absolutely! You must! Our skincare range has been formulated with plenty of hydrating and deeply nourishing ingredients, that are ideal for those with dry skin to replenish moisture levels and protect the skin from further dryness. Our products will not leave skin feeling dry after use. Our Revive moisturiser provides lasting locked-in hydration and is incredibly restorative.

Yes, our skincare range has been formulated to be gentle and non-irritating. We use a variety of soothing, calming, and protective ingredients and only use natural fragrances. However, if your skin is highly sensitive, please do a patch test prior to using it on a larger area.

All the Happy Skin by Lisa Curry products work beautifully on oily or combination skin.

The Niacinamide in Cleanse, Boost and Revive works to rebalance sebum (oil) production, whilst the fruit acids in Exfoliate support cell turnover and gentle exfoliation.

Niacinamide is also very effective on acne skins. Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory that works to reduce the swelling and redness associated with acne. It also works to regulate the amount of acne-causing oil being produced by the glands in your skin.

We recommend following our expert-curated steps for optimal results. However, each of these skincare products works powerfully alone, since each formula is individually designed to take your skin to new heights. You will still see results from using any of the 4 products as part of your routine.

We recommend using our 4-step Probiotic Skincare System for optimal skin results, however we do understand that you don't want to waste any of your current products, so you may select our individual products and use them with other brands. You will still see results from using any of our 4 products as part of your existing routine.

This varies from person to person, however we estimate on average that the 4 products, used morning and evening, following the directions for application will mean that the range will last around 2 months.

My whole life, I’ve tried my best to look after my body, mind and soul. I never thought that spending a lifetime in the water and sun could have harsh effects on my skin - until now. But I do know that it’s never too late to start having the best skin care routine possible. 

My skin reflects my age and my life - the good, the bad, the indifferent. I have had my cake and eaten it too. In hindsight, I could have stayed out of the sun more, covered up more, eaten better, but as my mum says - it is what it is. And now I choose to eat better, move moderately, stress less, love and appreciate more and take better care of my skin with my beautiful cosmeceutical skin products. A simple, effective, corrective and preventative 4 step daily routine that suits my life. A life worth living - just like yours.
