Routine Order Checker
Choose product categories already in a routine to see a typical AM and PM order. This does not select products or create a treatment plan.
How to use the result
Does the order prove that products are compatible?
No. Concentration, pH, formulation, prescriptions and individual tolerance can change how products are used. Follow product and prescriber instructions.
Do I need every selected step twice a day?
No. The output separates usual placement from frequency. Optional and AM- or PM-preferred categories are labeled.
Why product order matters
A common convention is to apply products from the thinnest to the thickest texture: cleanser first, then water-based serums, then moisturizer, with oils near the end. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last. Retinoids are usually used in the evening, and many routines alternate strong actives on different nights instead of layering them together.
How to use the checker
Tick the product categories you already use and the checker shows a typical morning and evening order. It works on categories, not brands, and it runs entirely in your browser.
Limits
The checker does not choose products, check every possible combination, or replace instructions from a prescriber. If a routine causes stinging or redness, simplify it and see the barrier guides below.
