Most tween skin is strong and balanced, so less is more. Start with a gentle cleanser when tiny bumps first appear. No bumps yet? Washing with water is perfectly fine.

Not sure which tab? Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and cystic acne are all forms of acne. Any bumps or clogged pores → choose Acne.
NO ACNE : If skin is completely clear, washing with water is perfectly fine. MILD ACNE with Normal Skin : Introduce a cleanser once the first tiny bumps or blackheads appear. Don’t wait for a full breakout. MILD ACNE with Oily Skin: Start with cleansing and hydration. Most mild acne at this age responds well. For MILD ACNE : Give this cleanse and hydrate routine one month and if the bumps and acne don’t clear, we introduce spot treatments.(Glow Exfoliant or Clarifying Serum). Refer to moderate/severe acne tab.
Morning Routine
Calming Cleanser Gentle cleanse. Introduce once tiny bumps start appearing.
Hydrating Serum (When skin starts getting oily) Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
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.
Sunscreen SPF 47 PA+++ (Outdoors only) Skip on indoor days.
Evening Routine
Soothing Cleansing Gel (Skip if sunscreen is not worn) First cleanse. Removes the day’s sunscreen thoroughly and gently.
Calming Cleanser Second cleanse. Gentle cleanse without stripping.
Hydrating Serum (When skin starts getting oily) Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
Barrier Booster Moisturiser (On tight areas) On areas that feel tight after Hydrating Serum.
Moisturiser: Most tweens don’t need one in tropical climate. If skin feels tight after Hydrating Serum, add a small amount of Barrier Booster on tight areas only. Or mix a pea/grain-size amount into Hydrating Serum for a richer moisturiser. Learn more here
Moderate to Severe Acne: Many Tiny Bumps (Whiteheads), Blackheads, Pimples, and Cystic Acne
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.
Glow Exfoliant (Acid-based Spot Treatment)
Salicylic Acid (BHA) + Mandelic Acid (AHA) Dissolves pore blockages from within. Resurfaces and fades marks.
The Routine once the spot corrector that reduces / flattens Acne fast is identified:
Morning Routine (Use one Spot Corrector only)
Calming Cleanser Gentle cleanse without stripping.
Glow Exfoliant (Spot only) If this was your Half-Face Test winner.
Hydrating Serum (Whole face) Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
Clarifying Serum (Spot only) If this was your Half-Face Test winner.
Sunscreen SPF 47 PA+++ (Outdoors only)
Evening Routine (Use one Spot Corrector only)
Soothing Cleansing Gel (Skip if sunscreen is not worn) First cleanse. Removes sunscreen and oil thoroughly.
Calming Cleanser Evening cleanse. Gentle cleanse without stripping.
Glow Exfoliant (Spot only) If this was your Hallf-Face Test winner.
Hydrating Serum (Whole face) Acts as an oil-free moisturiser. Hydrates and strengthen skin barrier.
Clarifying Serum (Spot only) If this was your Half-Face Test winner.
When acne clears: Stop the spot treatment. Continue Calming Cleanser + Hydrating Serum + Sunscreen outdoors. If needed, add a small amount of Barrier Booster on tight areas only.

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 your skin vulnerable to issues like eczema. This is especially common in cold or dry climates.
Hydrating Serum is your water layer, the essential first step that replenishes hydration in 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 moisture needs. What works in Singapore’s humidity may not be enough during autumn or winter in colder countries. Start with Hydrating Serum as your water base, then adjust the oil level to what your skin actually needs. Layer or mix in Barrier Booster Moisturiser if your skin feels tight or reactive. Add a few drops of Balancing Facial Oil when you need deeper nourishment. Your perfect moisture balance is yours to customise.
