You’ve probably heard of this buzzword that’s taken the skin care world by storm. But leather bike it’s really just a rebrand for something you might already be doing. (Hats off to you if you are!)

We recently met Dr. Rina Weimann (@drrinaderm) to uncover the truth behind this popular term making waves on social media. Are you ready to participate?

Meet the expert

Rina Weimann (Allawh), MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group.

What exactly is leather bike?

Let’s start from the beginning. This term was coined by a dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowerefers to a four day cycle which is as follows: on the first night, peeling; in the second, retinoids; finally, the next two nights are for rest of and hydration. Then repeat!

Turning your nightly skincare routine into a cycle builds up in time to help the skin barrier recover. Dr. Weimann explains, “I often recommend alternating retinoids with gentle hydrating moisturizers to minimize skin irritation or redness while maintaining consistency.”

But that’s really it innovator? According to Dr. Weimann, not really. “As a dermatologist, the skin recycling method is not entirely new.” Chances are, you may already be doing it without even realizing it. So why all the hype?

Less is more

If you like the idea of ​​glowing results from exfoliants and retinoids, you’re in good company. However, more is not always better. “Embrace product iteration,” says Dr. Weimann. “With all the options out there, it can be easy to take on too much, adding new skincare products every month or even weekly.” But results require time, patience and regularity.

This is where leather recycling comes in — it’s an easy way organize your evening skin care routine and keep your barrier strong by maximizing benefits. “While age-defying ingredients like glycolic acid and retinol are great for promoting healthy skin renewal, it can be important to take days to stick to gentle, hydrating ingredients,” says Dr. Weimann . With her expertise, let’s break down what a typical four-day skin cycling routine it would look like

A skin rotation routine for beginners

Night one: exfoliator

The first phase focuses on ingredients with exfoliating properties, such as glycolic acid — a popular alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known for renewal, smoothing and shine benefits.

On the first night, apply your exfoliator to clean, dry skin. You can continue with other products like eye cream or night moisturizer, just remember to save the retinoids for the next night.

Night two: retinoid

On the second night of the cycle, the focus is on retinoids. Retinol, retina — these age-defying ingredients boost turnover, blur fine lines, and redefine your skin’s texture.

After cleansing and using an eye cream, apply your retinoid product to dry skin. You can supplement your routine with one night cream that will moisturize and soothe your skin.

Keep in mind that when it comes to retinoids, an adjustment period is important – AKA retinitisation. So your skin may need less frequent application to begin with.

Nights three and four: rest

Now it’s time to sit back, relax and hydrate. On the third and fourth day of the cycle, your goal is to help your skin barrier recover using moisturizing products. Dr. Weimann confirms, “Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, vitamin E and niacinamide for an extra boost in skin hydration, improving elasticity and skin barrier strength.” The result? Irresistibly firm, hydrated skin.

A good rest-night routine includes cleansing, then an eye contour cream followed by a hydrating serum. Finally, look for a repair cream that helps rejuvenates the skin and strengthens its antioxidant defense.

Personal touch

Now that you’ve got the basics down, it’s time to personalize. Dr. Weimann explains in detail, “Adjust your skin turnover routine based on your skin type.” Whether you have sensitive, oily or combination skin affects your skincare range, and so does skin turnover.

“For those with oilier skin, you may find it beneficial to add an exfoliant up to three times a week,” she shares. And what about those on the more sensitive side of things? “Sensitive skin can only tolerate a topical exfoliation once a week.”

But skin type is not the only factor to remember. “Seasonal changes can also affect the skin’s cycling routine,” explains Dr. Weimann. “During late fall and winter, our skin becomes increasingly dry and thirsty for that extra boost of hydration,” she continues. However, that doesn’t mean you should throw away your retinoids. If your skin is especially sensitive in the colder months, “apply your retinoid at dinnertime and wash off before bed.” Dr. Weimann explains, “A shorter contact period still provides benefits, with less chance of skin irritation.”

Above all, it’s all about getting to know your skin. No matter how effective your products of choice are, you won’t see the results you’re hoping for if your skin barrier is stressed.

What about other ingredients?

Along with retinoids and exfoliants, you can also incorporate other ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and vitamin E into your skin care routine. Just make sure you don’t overdo it. It’s best to limit your routine to one or two complementary skincare ingredients and apply them during rest nights, or as part of your daily routine.


Overall, skin cycling is a great way to organize your skin care routine and practice a dermatologist’s favorite philosophy: let the skin barrier rest to see results. Dr. Weimann leaves us with one final pearl of wisdom: “When it comes to creating your skin recycling program, talk to a board-certified dermatologist about your skin concerns and find out which ingredients will benefit you most.”
