Guide to the Zelens Power Vitamin Alphabet
Unique to Zelens and developed by Dr. Marko Lens, the Powers are high-potency vitamin concentrates formulated to correct skin issues. Plus, when used alongside your serum, Powers help to enhance the results.
Using a Power in your skincare routine also helps to personalise your routine, allowing you to adapt to your skin’s needs every day. We know skin can behave differently on a daily basis, so the Powers are designed to reflect this, meaning you could use a different Power everyday if needed.
Designed to be lightweight for layering with the rest of your skincare, Powers are easy to incorporate into your routine. After cleansing, apply 2-3 pumps of your favourite Power to face, neck and décolleté. Then follow with your serum and moisturiser.
Here’s our guide to the Powers Vitamin Alphabet, helping you decide which Power suits your skin goals and concerns.

Featuring Dr. Lens’ pioneering use of provitamin D3 and replenishing lipids similar to those already found in the skin, Power D helps to strengthen skin’s natural barrier and build its resilience to environmental stressors. A strong barrier acts as a shield for your skin against the damaging effects of the environment, including stress and pollutants. A weak or compromised barrier means skin is more prone to dryness, redness and sensitivity.
Power D intensely nourishes skin to leave it supple, plumper and healthy looking. You should use Power D in your routine if you have dry skin or you’re concerned about sensitivity.
How to use: after cleansing, apply 2-3 pumps face, neck and décolleté. Alternatively, mix a pump of Powder D with your moisturiser.
