Medical disclaimer

Routine For You gives general information about skincare products and ingredients. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

See a professional when you need one

If you have a skin condition such as severe or painful acne, eczema, rosacea, sudden changes in moles, or a reaction that does not settle, see a dermatologist or doctor. Do not delay or replace medical care because of something you read here.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

We flag ingredients that are commonly avoided or that need a doctor’s opinion during pregnancy, but our flags are not a substitute for advice from your own doctor. Check every new product with them.

Patch-test new products

Try any new product on a small area for a few days before using it on your face, and introduce one new active ingredient at a time.

Product information

Ingredient lists are copied from each brand’s own listing at the time we checked it. Brands change formulas, so always read the packaging of the product you buy.
