Start here if you are new to conscious skin care!

If you cut into skin care now, and the words retinol, chemical peeling, or niacinamide, don't say much, then it's not easy to adjust. We've made this page for you, we're going to guide you through the most important things, step by step, and how to put together a cool skin care routine. :)

Determine your skin type!
Before you choose any product, explain what your skin type is! The skin type is actually the placement of your skin on a dry, greasy scale, and it is very important because it determines what kind of body is used for the basic care products (cleansing, moisturizing, sunscreen). There are four types of skin to distinguish:

Dry: Your skin is stretched, stretched, and sometimes even peeled in spots.
Normal: No dry or greasy feel. Your skin is smooth and pleasant.
Combined: Your skin is sometimes greasy (T-line) and drier elsewhere.
Greasy: Your skin is greasy and shiny almost everywhere.

Determine your skin problem (s)!
By skin problem we mean things like signs of skin aging, acne or rosacea. If you are young and lucky, you may have no problem. :) Or it may be easy to have multiple skin problems at the same time, such as acne, but anti-aging is also important.

You should decide what is the most important problem for you, and if so, you can also identify secondary, possibly tertiary skin problems. The skin problem will primarily be determined by the most important active ingredients and the high-active treatments containing them (peelers, serums, booster).

Basic care based on (mainly) skin type
There is no uniform definition of what basic care is, but we mean these three things: Wash, Moisturizing and Moisturizing + SPF (ie Sunscreen Moisturizer).

A super simple basic routine looks like this:

MORNING EVENING
1. Wash 1. Wash
2. Hydrataló + SPF 2. Hydrataló
The primary consideration for choosing the three basic products is your skin type, but you can also consider your skin problems. Many basic care products combine to care for a skin type + a skin problem.

General:

Dry - Normal Skin: Choose a creamy / oily, non-foaming formula from the scrub, and look for richer, denser materials from a moisturizer and sunscreen.
Combined - Greasy Skin: Avoid over-foaming and drying of greasy skin (we don't have one, but we write to know it anywhere you choose) :) because it will damage the skin in the long run. Look for light, gel, fluid, matting formulas from moisturizers and sunscreens.
You can choose the basic care products here (watch the lower-case part of the product under the category that helps you to find out what type of skin and possibly skin problem):

Washers | Moisturizers | Moisturizers + SPF

High active substance treatments (mainly) based on skin problems
Now, the two-step basic routine comes pro and truly personalized. Products with high levels of active ingredients are the ones that can help you with your skin problems, but if you do not have any particular skin problems, but you want to give your skin the maximum, then you should use these to boost your routine. We classify two main product categories: home chemical peelers and serums (also known as booster, treatments).

Home chemical peelers
Virtually no matter what your skin problem is, a well-chosen chemical peeler will surely help. They are much, much better versions of skin scrubs, which, unlike erasers, remove dead epithelial cells without physical irritation, and they also have many extras depending on the type of acid.

Help in choosing a nutshell:
In the name of every peel you can find, you can find exactly what kind of acid is in it and how much. Based on this, you will be able to narrow down what your products are for:

Anti-aging Focus / Uneven Skin / Normal to Dry Skin -> AHA: 5% is gentle, 8% is medium, and 10-12% is percussive.
Problem skin (blackheads, acne) focus / Combined-oily skin -> BHA and mandelic acid: The liquid (look for the Liquid word in the name of the product) is worth looking at as our 2% BHA peelers, or the Mandelic Cheer Up is for you. If you don't like liquids, your 2% BHA gel will be your product.
Sensitive, reddened skin focus -> PHA and BHA: BHA products for you will be more creamy, look for "lotion" (1 and 2% versions) or Calm Down for you, in combination with PHA and BHA acids.
How do you use it in your routine?
THE Serums, booster, treatments
These three terms practically mean: high-active products that focus on either a skin problem or on a starchy substance (which often also suffers from multiple skin problems). Except for some exceptions, most serums or treatments are suitable for all skin types, and the choice of skin is the choice.

Help in choosing a nutshell:
A useful little list of what (main) active ingredients you might want to look at depending on your skin problem. :)

Anti-aging (wrinkles, firmness, health):
Prevention -> Antioxidants: You can find antioxidant serums here for a detailed article on what antioxidants are here.
Correction -> Retinol, Vitamin C, Peptides: Anti-aging agents that help the skin to produce its own collagen. Here you will find the retinol sera, here the vitamin C sera here and the serum containing the peptides.
Problematic, acne, wide pore skin -> Azelain Acid, Niacinamide, Retinol: Azelaic Acid Serums are found here (primarily for inflamed acne), niacinamide serums here, and retinol serums here.
Sensitive, reddened skin -> Anti-inflammatory drugs, Azelain acid: If your skin is specifically rosacea, then an azelaic acid serum is a super choice, and if you are looking for a soothing serum, you should look at Paula's Choice Calm Serum or Hylamide Booster Sensitive Fixet.


Pigment Spots -> Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinol: Vitamin C and niacinamide reduce the production of pigment-causing melanin, while retinol helps the pigment spots on the surface to "spin" faster. Vitamin C serums are found here, niacinamide serums here, and retinol serums here.
Water Deficiency -> Hyaluronic Acid, Water Binders: Here you can find moisturizing, hyaluronic sera and our expert article on hyaluronic acid here.


How do you use it in your routine?
You can use most of the sera either in the morning or in the evening as you feel comfortable once a day or twice a day. Exceptions to this are retinol serums, which should be used in the evening, and the antioxidant sera if used once a day should be the morning.

You can use more than one serum at a time, one after the other, and you should follow the "lighter to thicker" principle in order to determine the order. More than three serums at the same time, we recommend not to layer yourself, and many have missed it.

If you add one or more serums to the basic routine + peeler, the routine looks like this:

MORNING EVENING
1. Wash 1. Wash
2. Serum (s) 2. Exfoliating *
3. Serum (s)
3. Hydrataló + SPF 4. Moisturizing
* Not necessarily every day, the frequency is individual.
Here you can see the sera (grouped by sub-category of active ingredient):

Serums / Boosters / Treatments
Eye Serum / eye cream
Products containing high levels of active ingredient that specifically target the typical problems of the eye (eg dark circles, swelling or dorsal legs).

Most of the products we have at our disposal can also be used around the eye (with the exception of the highest active ingredient peelers and retinol serums), so if you are aiming for a general anti-aging, healthy skin care, feel free to look at the moisturizing creams and serums. too.

If you only have eye-specific problems like dark circles, or if you like to use a special product around the eye, you may want to look at our eye care products here:

Eye Cream & Eye Serum
Extras - optional plus things
Things that are not basic accessories and not problem-solving superstars, but if you enjoy skin care, you love to use a multi-step routine or a maximalist, you can make your routine even more complete and perfect.

Toners / Mistek
Liquid-like products that soothe, moisturize and even do something else depending on what type of skin they are. Immediately after facial cleansing, use them before the sera, or if the exfoliating liquid is a liquid, after the liquid exfoliator.

It looks like it is complemented by the routine tonics so far:
