Build your routine
One routine, every concern.
Skin can have more than one concern — pick all of yours and we merge the proven per-concern routines into one. Shared steps combine, conflicts get resolved (never hidden), and anything that would overload week one waits in a visible Phase 2 queue. Every step is cited.

Each step shows one real product — our pick, swap freely. Where we have no exact match we say “closest we have”; where we have nothing, “bring your own.” We never invent a product.
Adds the picks above to your routine — nothing you already have is removed, and every pick is swappable. Steps without a shop match are skipped, never faked.
Saves your concerns + tier, not a fixed product list — replaces any routine you saved before.
How long this takes
Give it time: the longest of your actives takes up to ~52 weeks for full results — think months, not overnight. The soonest visible change is ~0 weeks in.
- vitamin c (l-ascorbic acid): first results ~12wk, full ~24wk · source, source
- sunscreen: first results ~0-12wk, full ~52wk · source, source
We never add these up — the longest window is your headline; each active runs on its own clock.
