morning routine

Morning Routine

  1. Calming Cleanser
    Gentle cleanse. Introduce once tiny bumps start appearing.
  2. Hydrating Serum (When skin starts getting oily)
    Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
  3. Clarifying Serum (21years old onwards ; Below 21yo, skip)
    Protects against environmental damage such as UV rays. Apply a thin layer on whole face.
  4. Barrier Booster Moisturiser (On tight areas only)
    Apply on areas that feel tight after the Hydrating Serum, typically cheeks, forehead, or around the mouth. Not needed on areas that feel comfortable.
  5. Sunscreen SPF 47 PA+++
    Every single day. The pigmentation adults get in their 30s was built during their teens and 20s.
evening routine

Evening Routine

  1. Soothing Cleansing Gel (Skip if sunscreen is not worn)
    Removes the day’s sunscreen thoroughly and gently.
  2. Calming Cleanser
    Gentle cleanse without stripping.
  3. Glow Exfoliant (1-2x a week ; Do not exfoliate full face daily)
    Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps dissolve buildup within pores.
  4. Hydrating Serum
    Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
  5. Barrier Booster Moisturiser (On tight areas)
    On areas that feel tight after Hydrating Serum. Mix or layer to customise your moisturiser.

Patch test first. If introducing Clarifying Serum for the first time, test on one small area for a few days before using all over the face.

Moisturiser: Most teens don’t need one. If skin feels tight after Hydrating Serum, add a small amount of Barrier Booster on tight areas only or mix with Hydrating Serum to apply together. See below how to customise moisturiser to achieve perfect water and oil balance click here.

Whiteheads, blackheads, small bumps are the most common form of acne at this age.
The fix: Balance the skin, stop stripping it, and introduce the right targeted treatment.
Whether it’s mild, moderate or severe acne, we start with introducing spot treatments.
Once acne is cleared up, follow the routine in the No Acne tab.

The 5-Day Half-Face Test with Skinlycious Starter Kit

Find your match by applying one treatment on the blemishes on each side of the face for 5 days. Compare which spot corrector reduced acne faster. That tells you whether this skin responds better to acid-based or vitamin-based treatment. See our Clear Skin Solutions.

Glow Exfoliant (Acid)

Salicylic Acid (BHA) + Mandelic Acid (AHA)
Dissolves pore blockages from within. Resurfaces and fades marks.

Clarifying Serum (Vitamin)

Stabilised Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) + Niacinamide.
Reduces acne. Fades red/brown post-acne marks.

The Routine once the spot corrector that reduces / flattens Acne fast is identified:

    Gentle cleanse without stripping.
  2. Glow Exfoliant (Spot only)
    If this was your Half-Face Test winner.
  3. Hydrating Serum (Whole face)
    Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
  4. Clarifying Serum (Spot only ; ≥ 21yo Whole Face)
    If this was your Half-Face Test winner for reducing acne.
    21yo can start using on whole face for antioxidants protection.
  5. Sunscreen SPF 47 PA+++
    UV darkens post-acne marks into stubborn hyperpigmentation, so sunscreen reduces that darkening.

Personalised Moisture Balance

Find Your Perfect
Water and Oil Balance.

Every moisturiser decision you’ve ever made — too greasy, too heavy, broke me out, not enough — comes down to one thing: the balance between water and oil in your skin.

Your skin needs both. Water keeps cells plump, resilient, and balanced. Oil seals that water in and protects the barrier. When that ratio is right for your skin type, the visible signs of imbalance — rough texture, frequent breakouts, reactive sensitivity — have less reason to show up.

When your skin is low on water:

It overproduces oil to compensate — causing oilier skin, clogged pores, and breakouts. Oily skin is often dehydrated. Dehydrated skin can also flake and become reactive, even if it doesn’t feel dry.

When your skin is low on oil:

It can’t hold onto moisture regardless of how much you apply. You’ll experience tightness, flaking, itchiness, and a weakened barrier — leaving skin vulnerable to skin issues like eczema. This is especially common in cold or dry climates.

Hydrating Serum is the water layer — the essential first step that adds hydration into the skin. For oily skin or in humid weather, this alone is often enough. But if your skin needs more, Skinlycious lets you customise.

STEP 1

Hydrating Serum

Adds water into the skin. Enough for most oily skin.

Add-on (if needed)

Barrier Booster Moisturiser

Adds oil. Seals moisture in. Barrier support.

Add-on (if DRY)

Balancing Facial Oil

Adds more oil. Further seals moisture in.

Everyone’s skin has different degree of dryness — what works in Singapore’s humidity may not work in Cold Countries’ autumn/winter. Start with Hydrating Serum as your water base, then adjust the oil level to what your skin actually needs. Layer on or mix in Barrier Booster Moisturiser if your skin feels tight or reactive. Add a few drops of Balancing Facial Oil if you need deeper nourishment. Your perfect moisture balance is yours to customise.
