Ayuna Minimum II Essential Awakening Care Rich

3-piece set with Cream II 50ml, Essence 15ml, and Balm 15ml

When the skin is drier, more mature, or more demanding, getting to know a new skincare line requires a slightly different approach. A light, breathable day cream often feels insufficiently comfortable on this skin, especially during the winter months or with daily exposure to artificial light, office work, and dry air. For this skin type, a richer base is not a luxury but a necessity.

Ayuna Minimum II is a 3-piece set that opens the essence of the Ayuna skincare program for dry and more demanding skin. The set combines the nourishing Cream II (Rich Rejuvenating Treatment with Mediterranean beeswax), Essence (High Protein Cream-in-Oil Peel), and Balm (Volcanic Revitalizing Mask). The difference with the regular Minimum set lies at the core: where Cream I is ultra-light and breathable, Cream II offers a velvety soft climate-adaptive texture that adjusts to temperature, humidity, and environmental dryness—a cream that intensely nourishes the skin without feeling heavy.

Benefits

• Richer Cream II in the full 50 ml size for about two months of daily use
• Compact Petit Sizes of Essence and Balm to fully experience both treatments
• Specifically tailored for dry, mature skin and use in colder months
• Combines daily nourishment, weekly exfoliation, and detox treatment in one ritual
• Protects and nourishes the skin barrier thanks to Mediterranean beeswax and jojoba wax
• A luxurious gift for someone with dry skin who values conscious skincare

What’s in the set

Ayuna Cream II 50ml — Rich Rejuvenating Treatment: The richer variant of Ayuna’s iconic Cream, with the same exclusive C5 BioCell® Complex—a biotechnological synergy of five plant stem cell cultures—supplemented with Mediterranean beeswax, jojoba wax, and polyglycerols. The adaptogenic texturizer actively adjusts to temperature and humidity, allowing the cream to perform optimally in both dry cold and humid heat. Ideal for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin seeking intensive nourishment without clogging. The full 50 ml size is sufficient for about two months of daily use.

Ayuna Essence 15ml — High Protein Cream-in-Oil Peel: A cream-in-oil peel that works in three consecutive phases: alpha-amino acids for gentle chemical exfoliation, microcrystalline cellulose for mild mechanical polishing, and a nourishing oleo-essence as a finishing touch. Especially valuable for dry skin because the oleo-essence phase immediately nourishes the skin after exfoliation—no dryness or tight sensation. The 15 ml Petit Size offers five to seven full treatments.

Ayuna Balm 15ml — Volcanic Revitalizing Mask: A detox mask with volcanic glass, activated charcoal, and pullulan. The mask works in three ways: as a full-face mask for deep cleansing, as an instant eye-lift under the eyes, or as a targeted spot treatment. Often used for mature skin as an instant eye-lift before special occasions. Made Safe® certified, with a direct lifting effect thanks to the tightening pullulan film. The 15 ml Petit Size is sufficient for about five face masks.

How to use the set

1. Start with Essence as a weekly exfoliation step—once or twice a week, ideally in the evening
2. Use Balm once or twice a week as a detox mask or as an instant eye-lift under the eyes
3. Apply Cream II daily in the morning and evening as the core product of your routine
4. Do not combine Balm and Essence on the same evening—give your skin time between treatments
5. When using Cream II in the morning, always finish with sun protection such as Ayuna Velo or Velo X
6. In winter months or during travel, Cream II can also be applied more generously at night

• Skin in dry climates, cold months, or frequent air travel
• Adult skin with loss of resilience and visible dryness lines
• A luxurious gift for someone with dry skin who values conscious skincare
• Those who found the regular Minimum set too light and seek more comfort

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ayuna Minimum and Ayuna Minimum II?

Both sets contain the same Essence and Balm in Petit Size but differ in the cream. Minimum contains Cream I with a light, breathable texture and velvety matte finish—suitable for all skin types, warmer climates, and combination skin. Minimum II contains Cream II with a richer, climate-adaptive texture and Mediterranean beeswax—specifically for dry, dehydrated, and mature skin. When in doubt, your own skin condition is decisive: if your skin feels tight or dry by midday, Minimum II is the logical choice.

Why is Cream II in 50 ml and Essence and Balm in 15 ml?

This distribution reflects the role of each product in the routine. Cream II is a daily product used both morning and evening and consumes the most supply—hence the full 50 ml size. Essence and Balm are weekly treatments that last longer; a 15 ml Petit Size is more than enough to consistently practice the weekly rhythms.

Can I use Minimum II when it’s warm outside?

Yes. Although Cream II is richer than Cream I, the texture remains breathable thanks to the adaptogenic texturizer that adjusts to temperature and humidity. In extremely warm periods, a lighter dose can be used, or Cream II can be reserved for the evening ritual while applying a thin layer in the morning under sun protection.

Is Minimum II suitable as a vegan gift?

Cream II contains Mediterranean beeswax as a nourishing ingredient and is therefore not vegan. For strictly vegan recipients, the regular Minimum set with Cream I is a better choice. Essence and Balm within the set are fully plant-based.
