A simple order helps keep a routine comfortable and consistent.
Step 1: Cleanse
Use a gentle cleanser and pat skin dry.
Step 2: Apply one targeted treatment
Use the product according to its current label. Introduce one active at a time and patch test first.
Step 3: Moisturize
A lightweight moisturizer can help support the skin barrier.
Step 4: Protect in the morning
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, especially when using exfoliating or retinoid products.
Avoid over-layering
Using several strong actives at once can increase irritation. If you are using a prescription or medicated product, follow professional advice and the current packaging.
