Routine builder — about 90 seconds
A routine that checks itself.
Choose your skin type, what’s bothering you and how used you are to actives. The builder lays out morning and night, spreads strong actives across the week and explains every move.
How the checker thinks
Four rules, applied in order.
Barrier first
Niacinamide and ceramides go in every routine. Nothing strong starts on a weak barrier.
One strong active a night
Retinal and acids never share a night. If both are needed, they take turns.
Start slow
New to retinal? Three nights a week for a month, then build to five.
SPF closes every morning
If there’s an acid or retinal at night, the morning ends with SPF 50. No exceptions.
General guidance only — not medical advice. Ask a dermatologist about prescription treatments, pregnancy or any persistent skin condition.
