skin care
The usual translation of 'gama' is 'range' and there are lots of related KudoZ questions, but I need a different meaning here.
This comes from a description of a group of 3 products that are intended to be used together to take care of one's skin. The description reads:
"Gama de uso diario para el cuidado completo de la piel" Then three different but related products are listed. The idea is that all three used together provide the best, complete care for a particular skin condition.
So 'gama' here refers to a range or selection of products used together. I don't find any translation for this meaning anywhere, and even the DRAE doesn't give a definition for this usage.
¿Algunas ideas? Gracias por la ayuda.

A set: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YQ4LW8 - One of the set sold separately: http://www.amazon.com/Nutra-lift-Step-Anti-Aging-Treatment/d... - Set does NOT mean they are ALWAYS sold together!

Thank you, Henry. I think that for any kind of marketing material, this is what you have to do. One thing I notice is that some who respond to these questions often don't take into account the gestalt, and the results are often most unfortunate....

Robert Forstag
: I really don't see how this works in the context of the whole sentence, and I think it would be most strange indeed to see a selection of skin care products characterized as a "suite" in English.

Well, Robert, there is an increasingly frequent use of "suite" in several fields to denote an array/range (including the medical field). Regards

selection
I don't see why you've got it in for "range", which is the word I'd use. You even say "'gama' here refers to a range or selection of products used together." But if you don't like range, what's wrong with your other suggestion, selection?

I mean, I would have thought it quite common for a firm to have a range of products that are used together for the "complete" effect, etc.

The skincare range works and that is why customers come back, time after time.

Another possibility.
"... used all three products for about 4 or 5 days, in the morning. The product literature claims that the natural rain water in the products makes for a uniquely soft and silky texture, and that was indeed the very first quality I noticed. The products literally glide on like silk, with the texture of finest powder; there is not a single touch of greasiness to the products. In combination, they felt like they worked very well to make my face feel rehydrated and moisturized but without the feeling of oiliness or cloying emollients I sometimes get form a series of three products used in the morning."
