A simple, evidence-based skincare routine
Cleanser, active, moisturiser, SPF — why the basics matter more than a ten-step routine.
Morning
Gentle cleanser, an antioxidant such as vitamin C if tolerated, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Evening
Cleanse, then a well-studied active such as a retinoid (introduced slowly), followed by moisturiser.
Why less is often more
Layering many actives increases irritation. Consistency with a few proven products usually beats frequent switching.
When to see a professional
Persistent acne, sudden pigmentation or changing moles should be assessed by a dermatologist.
