Received a gift
Got skincare as a gift: does it fit?
A new cream, a serum, a set? Before you try everything at once: check quickly whether it suits your skin and what you already use.
In four steps
- 1
Read the label
Is there an active (retinol, retinal, acids like AHA, BHA, salicylic acid, vitamin C)? Is perfume or "fragrance" on the list? That decides how carefully you start.
- 2
Do the bathroom check
In the questionnaire we ask what you already have. Add the gift there. The routine then shows whether it fits, whether it doubles up with something or whether two things are better not used together.

One thing at a time
Only one new product at a time, for at least a week. Then you know what your skin likes and what it doesn't.

Pass on what doesn't fit
Unopened, it can be given away or swapped. Opened jars only last so long: the open-jar symbol with "12M" shows the months after opening.
