Good skincare isn’t about owning the most products — it’s about the right few, in the right order, for your skin type and concerns. Start by finding your skin type, then build from there.
The core routine
Almost everyone benefits from a simple framework: cleanse, treat, moisturise, and — every morning — protect with SPF. Layer products from thinnest to thickest, save exfoliating acids and retinoids for the evening, and introduce one new active at a time. Our free routine builder turns your skin type and concerns into a personalised AM/PM routine.
Reading ingredients
Learning to read an INCI list helps you avoid pore-clogging oils if you’re acne-prone, fragrance if you’re sensitive, and pregnancy-unsafe actives if relevant. The free ingredient checker flags these for you in seconds.
Skin and your hormones
Skin changes across the menstrual cycle, in pregnancy, and in perimenopause. Premenstrual breakouts and hormonal acne are common and treatable. Match your routine to where your skin is now rather than a fixed regimen.

In the US, the privacy of reproductive-health data is a key consideration — choose apps and providers that are transparent about how your data is stored and shared, and confirm options with your healthcare provider or insurer.
