Build Your Perfect Skincare Routine

A basic effective routine needs 3-4 steps: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen (morning), and possibly a treatment product. More isn't always better—focus on quality ingredients that address your specific concerns. Our routine generator helps you find the right balance.

The general rule is thinnest to thickest consistency: Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Eye Cream → Moisturizer → Face Oil → Sunscreen (morning). Treatments like retinol go on clean skin before moisturizer. Wait 1-2 minutes between layers for better absorption.

Patience is key! Hydration and plumping effects can show in days. Brightening and texture improvements typically take 4-6 weeks. For anti-aging and acne treatments, expect 8-12 weeks for significant changes. Consistent daily application is essential for results.

Some products work for both (cleanser, moisturizer, antioxidant serums), while others are time-specific. Retinol and AHAs are best used at night due to sun sensitivity. Sunscreen is strictly morning use. Our routine builder creates separate AM and PM plans tailored to your needs.
