Love this duo
"I really love how this duo feels when I put it on my skin at night. I began it in the winter and thought it would be too thick for the summer but I was wrong. It’s a year round lotion for me."

Super Bundled Deal!
"The great thing about Yonka is that they offer bundles and pairings at a discount for some of their most loved and popular items, of which this is one. I hadn't tried either of these items and wanted a serum I could use in the evening, and a moisturizer that I could use over the Vit C during the day. This was the perfect combo and I love them both! Really works well to reduce fine, and even more stubborn, lines around my mouth and between my eyebrows. Both great products overall!"
Great alone or together
"I have relatively good skin, but I find that around the sides of my face I’m getting laugh lines, which, I guess, is a good thing. I would like to create more firmness there and this duo does the trick. Sometimes I use them alone, however most often I use them together, and only after a couple weeks, I am noticing a difference. Yonka certainly helps you age gracefully!"
Love this!
"Works great, I can’t wait to see the results after I have used it longer, but so far I am impressed."
I LOVE these products. They
"I LOVE these products. They have made a huge difference in the overall appearance of my skin and make me look younger. I really wish they came in larger sizes because they are not cheap and I run out quickly. But they work so well that I keep ordering them!"
Products that work
"I have used the optimizer duo off and on for more than 15 years. It truly out performs any of the anti-aging products currently on the market. You see results within days."
Nice duo!
"I've been using this duo for a couple of weeks now twice daily and already notice my fine lines have lessened. Also non greasy and fast absorbing."
Customer
"Very good product"
Great product
"Both products have no to little scent, absorb quickly & evenly and do not leave your skin feeling or looking greasy or shiny. I feel like my skin looks refreshed, even toned and plumper since I started using this in December."
Perfect
"So light and fresh look"
Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Advanced Optimizer Duo good for mature or aging skin?
Yes. The Advanced Optimizer Duo is formulated specifically to address signs of aging by combining targeted actives that support firmness and radiance. The serum contains redensifying hibiscus peptides, soy peptides, marine collagen and vitamin C–enriched rosehip extract to help strengthen skin structure and promote revitalization, while the crème delivers marine collagen, lupin and milk peptides plus co-enzyme Q10 and shea butter to boost collagen production, protect against oxidative stress and deeply hydrate. This pairing is designed as a 30-day intensive treatment used morning and evening after Lotion Yon-Ka, making it well suited for mature skin showing loss of elasticity, fine lines, or dullness. Those with very reactive skin should perform a patch test and consult a professional for personalized advice.
Can people with sensitive skin use the Advanced Optimizer Duo?
Yes, many people with sensitive skin can use the Advanced Optimizer Duo, but with appropriate precautions. The formula is free of parabens and sulfates and focuses on botanical peptides, marine collagen and nourishing shea butter that support barrier function and hydration. The serum is a silky, fast-absorbing gel which can feel lighter on sensitized skin, while the crème is richer and more emollient. Because the duo contains concentrated active ingredients and botanical extracts, we recommend patch testing before full-face use and introducing the products gradually. Those with known allergies to any listed ingredients should avoid use, and consult a dermatologist if you have a history of severe sensitivity.
How should I use the Advanced Optimizer Duo for best results?
Use both products morning and evening after cleansing and toning with Lotion Yon-Ka. Apply the Advanced Optimizer Serum first to clean, toned skin to allow its fast-absorbing gel and peptide complex to penetrate, then follow with the Advanced Optimizer Crème to lock in hydration and deliver collagen-supporting peptides and co-enzyme Q10. The system is designed as a 30-day intensive treatment, so consistent twice-daily application promotes synergy between the lightweight serum and the richer cream. This routine benefits anyone seeking targeted firming and anti-aging care; those combining multiple actives should layer or alternate products thoughtfully and perform a patch test on new regimens.
How long before I see results from the Advanced Optimizer Duo?
The Advanced Optimizer Duo is designed as a 30-day intensive treatment, and many users report visible improvements in firmness and radiance within that timeframe. The serum’s peptide complexes and vitamin C–enriched rosehip extract work to revitalize skin texture, while the crème’s marine collagen, lupin and milk peptides support collagen production and hydration for a plumper look. Results depend on individual skin condition, consistency of twice-daily use, and other factors like sun exposure and overall skincare routine. For sustained benefits, continue regular use beyond 30 days and pair the duo with Lotion Yon-Ka and sun protection; consult a skincare professional for expectations tailored to your skin.
What is the difference between the Advanced Optimizer Serum and the Advanced Optimizer Crème?
The Advanced Optimizer Serum is a silky, fast-absorbing gel formulated to deliver concentrated redensifying hibiscus and soy peptides, marine collagen, and vitamin C–enriched rosehip extract for immediate revitalization and structural support. The Advanced Optimizer Crème is a luxurious, velvety moisturizer that complements the serum with marine collagen, lupin and milk peptides, co-enzyme Q10 for antioxidant protection, and shea butter for deep hydration and a plumping finish. The serum targets rapid delivery of actives and skin-strengthening benefits, while the crème seals in moisture, fortifies texture and provides longer-lasting nourishment. Using both together offers synergy; using only one provides some benefits but not the full dual-phase effect.
Can I use the Advanced Optimizer Duo with retinoids or other active treatments?
Yes, the Advanced Optimizer Duo can be used alongside other actives, but with considered timing and monitoring. The duo focuses on peptides, marine collagen, vitamin C–enriched rosehip and antioxidant co-enzyme Q10, which complement retinoids by supporting collagen synthesis and combating oxidative stress. For sensitive or reactive combinations, apply the retinoid at night and introduce the Duo gradually, or consult a skincare professional to establish a compatible layering order. Always perform a patch test when combining potent actives and monitor for irritation. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or separate application times to maintain skin barrier integrity.
Is the Advanced Optimizer Duo suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, with some considerations. The Advanced Optimizer Serum is a fast-absorbing gel that suits oily or combination skin because it delivers peptides and marine collagen without heavy residues, helping strengthen structure without excess oil. The crème is richer and contains shea butter, which provides deep hydration and may feel heavier on very oily or acne-prone skin. For oily complexions, use the serum morning and evening and apply the crème sparingly or as a targeted evening treatment. Those prone to breakouts should patch test and monitor results, adjusting the crème frequency if needed, and consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.
Will the Advanced Optimizer Duo improve skin firmness and elasticity?
Yes. The Advanced Optimizer Duo is formulated to support visible improvements in firmness and elasticity through a combination of targeted peptides and marine collagen. The serum delivers redensifying hibiscus peptides, soy peptides and marine collagen to strengthen skin structure and protect against aging, while the crème adds lupin and milk peptides plus co-enzyme Q10 to promote collagen production and combat oxidative stress. Together these actives hydrate, plump and help redefine contours when used consistently as the 30-day intensive treatment. Individuals with early to advanced signs of laxity will benefit most, although outcomes vary and sustained use delivers the most reliable results.
How does using both products in the Advanced Optimizer Duo compare to using only the serum or only the crème?
Using both products is intended to deliver synergistic results that exceed either product used alone. The serum provides rapid, concentrated delivery of peptides, marine collagen and vitamin C–enriched rosehip extract for structural support and revitalization, while the crème supplies long-lasting hydration, additional peptide complexes, co-enzyme Q10 antioxidant protection and shea butter to reinforce texture and moisture. Together they create a two-step ritual that targets immediate absorption and sustained nourishment, designed as a 30-day intensive. Using only the serum gives lightweight peptide benefits without the same level of moisture and barrier support; using only the crème offers nourishment but less immediate peptide concentration.
Can I apply makeup after using the Advanced Optimizer Duo?
Yes. The Advanced Optimizer Serum is a fast-absorbing gel and the crème has a velvety finish, so makeup can be applied after allowing the products to fully absorb. For best results, apply the serum first, follow with the crème, then wait a few minutes for the skin to set before applying sunscreen and makeup. This sequence helps the active peptides and collagen-supporting ingredients penetrate while the crème provides a hydrated base for makeup application. Those who prefer a lighter makeup base can use the serum with a minimal amount of crème, especially in the morning, to reduce any perceived weight under foundation.
