Four stages. You don’t pick one.

Stage 01

Read your skin

Eighteen questions. Six minutes. It decides where you start.

Find out what your skin is actually doing right now, before you buy anything.

1. 1

   Answer the read

   Answer for the last two weeks, not for your skin at its worst or its best. The read is only as good as how honestly you answer the tight-after-cleansing one.

2. 2

   Write down where you land

   You get a skin type, a barrier score out of 12, and a starting stage. Screenshot it. You'll compare against it later.

3. 3

   Stop everything else

   Whatever you're running now, park it.

   If you're on anything prescribed, that stays. Talk to whoever prescribed it before changing it.

Stage 02

Build the base

Four products. Nothing else. Hold it untouched.

Hold 28 days

Get a routine your skin tolerates completely before anything active goes near it.

1. 1

   Cleanser

   One, used at night.

2. 2

   Moisturiser

   Chosen off your read, from the database. Filter to your skin type and your oil level, then take the cheapest one that matches. Price is not the variable here.

3. 3

   Sunscreen

   Every morning.

Stage 03

Repair the barrier

Only if the base alone didn't settle it.

Hold 28 days

Get the skin holding water before asking it to tolerate an active.

Stage 04

Target the problem

One active. One change. Then wait.

Hold 14 days

Introduce actives on a schedule slow enough that you can tell what caused what.

1. 1

   Pick one thing to fix

   Texture, marks, oil, or breakouts. One. The database filters by use case so you can see the shortlist for yours.

2. 2

   Log it

   Date, product, frequency. When something reacts three weeks later you will not remember what you changed. Nobody does.
