Start Smart with Skincare: Your 3-Step Beginner's Guide (Without Wasting Money)

Introduction

If you're just starting out with skincare, the options can be overwhelming. The secret to a good start? Keep it simple.
Choose products with clinically proven ingredients and build up your routine step by step.
Anything beyond that is often noise – and a waste of your money.

Prescription makes it easy with a proven three-step foundation:

1. Cleaning
2. Hydrate
3. Protect

Later you can expand this routine with an exfoliant or builder. Our AI Skin Scan helps you choose exactly the right products for your skin type and goals.

Step 1: Cleanse

Why it's important:
A mild cleansing removes excess sebum, dirt and sunscreen without damaging the skin barrier.
Healthy skin starts with a clean, balanced base.

Recommended by Prescription:

• Al oe Vera Cleanser: soothing and hydrating
• Edelweiss Cleanser: mildly foaming, strengthens the skin barrier

Step 2: Hydrate & Restore (Moisturize)

Why it's important:
Hydration keeps the skin supple and helps restore the natural barrier.
A well-chosen moisturizer prevents dryness and supports recovery after cleansing.

Recommended by Prescription:

• Edelweiss Cream: light, restorative cream
• Bisabolol Balm: soothing for sensitive skin
• Recovery Oil (20% vitamin E): strengthens and nourishes intensively

Step 3: Protect (SPF)

Why it's important:
UV radiation is the main cause of premature skin aging and pigment spots.
Daily protection with SPF is the most effective anti-aging step.

Recommended by Prescription:

• SPF 50 Drops: light, non-greasy formula that protects against UVA + UVB

Extend after 2–4 weeks: Exfoliant + Builder

When your skin feels stable, you can expand the routine.

Exfoliants remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture:

• Salicylic Acid (pimple-prone skin)
• Glycolic Acid (finer skin texture)
• Mandelic Acid (sensitive skin)

Builders target specific skin goals:

• Niacinamide: strengthens the barrier and reduces redness
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): antioxidant, evens out skin tone
• Retinol: stimulates cell renewal and reduces fine lines
• Zombie Cell Serum with Eterwell Youth™: reduces senescent (“zombie”) cells and stimulates cell renewal (source: DSM-Firmenich ).
