How to Build a Skin Pharm Skincare Routine
A complete step-by-step guide to selecting and using Skin Pharm products for your skin type and concerns.
Step-by-Step Routine Guide
Identify Your Skin Type and Concerns
Before choosing products, determine whether your skin is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive. Identify primary concerns: acne, aging, dark spots, redness, or texture. Skin Pharm offers a Skin Quiz on their website to help match products to your needs.
Start with a Cleanser
Choose between Gentle Rinse (hydrating cream cleanser for dry or sensitive skin) or Power Wash (exfoliating gel cleanser for oily or acne-prone skin). Cleanse twice daily — morning and evening.
Add a Toner
Crystal Clear clarifying toner pads can help brighten and clarify skin. Use after cleansing, morning and evening, to prep skin for serums.
Apply Targeted Serums
Choose serums based on your concerns: Youth Serum for anti-aging and hydration, Glow Factor for brightening (vitamin C), Night Watch for retinol (evening only), or After Hours for retexturizing therapy.
Use an Eye Product
Eye Sculpt hydrating eye cream can help brighten and de-puff the under-eye area. Apply morning and evening after serums.
Moisturize
High Beam (brightening lotion) or Face Whip (nourishing moisturizer) help lock in hydration. Apply after serums and eye products.
Apply Sunscreen (Morning Only)
100% Mineral Tinted SPF or Sheer Defense SPF should be the last step in your morning routine. Reapply throughout the day as needed.
