Are you looking for a dermatologist-recommended skin care routine? You are in the right place! I am a dermatologist and skin care expert and author of 3 bestselling books on skin care. Over 250 dermatologists, and medispas use my skin care regimen software to prescribe skin care routines. Now you have access to the same software that dermatologists use to recommend skin care routines to their patients! The dermatologists that use our software to build skin care routines follow these 3 important steps:

1. Diagnose
2. Prescribe
3. Educate

Traditionally, consulting a dermatologist was essential to determine the appropriate products for your skincare routine. For a decade, our software was exclusively available to doctors. However, in 2023, we let dermatologists use our skin type quiz for dermatology patients. Their patients could receive dermatologist-designed regimens directly from Skin Type Solutions if they signed up and were trained by us on the best way to prescribe skin care routines.

In 2024, we expanded access even further, enabling everyone to obtain a customized dermatologist-recommended skin care routine routine, regardless of whether they have a dermatologist or not. We understand that not everyone has easy access to a dermatologist, and appointments can be challenging to secure.

Now you can get a dermatologist-recommended skin care routine online. Right Here. Now.

All you need to do is take the quiz and you can build a dermatologist-recommended skin care regimen.

Once you take the quiz, you will be given a step by step skin care routine with my favorite products recommended. You can choose between a basic regimen that contains the 3 most important products:

1. Cleanse 
2. Protect 
3. Repair

Or you can choose a full regimen that has more products and works faster. 

For each step you have the ability to scroll through other products that are right for you and further customize your routine with the products you like.

Once you take the quiz, build a routine and purchase it- you will receive emails on Day 1, 30, 60, 90 and 120 that will guide you through the process.  You will know what to expect, how to know if your products are working, and what to do if you are not seeing any skin benefits. Every month the email tells you if it is time to change a product or move to a stronger retinoid.  This way your skin continues to improve. We also have a robust skin care library here that you can find the answers to any skin care questions you have.

We have many different types of skin care routines developed by dermatologists:

Antiaging Routines for your 30s

Routines for TeensAntiaging routines for your 40s

Routines for Dark Spots

Routines for Men

Building a personalized custom skin care routine is a puzzle that requires years of practice and research to do it properly. There are many companies that offer personalized skin care now- but they want you to buy their skin care brand. It is better to pick the best products from different brands and combine them into a an effective skin care routine.  That is what most dermatologist will do. Getting dermatologist advice can save you lots of time and money on skin care.

These are the types of things dermatologists consider when designing your routine:

• Skin Type
• Best ingredients to treat your skin concerns
• Ingredients to avoid
• pH of products
• Interactions of ingredients when used together
• Penetration and absorption
• Routine step order
• How many steps you are willing to do
• Cost
• What brand to use or do you want to combine brands
• When to splurge and when to save

I wrote an entire chapter on this in my Baumann's Cosmetic Dermatology textbook because skin care regimen design is very complex.

Need dermatologist advice on your skin care routine? You have several options:

• Find a board certified dermatologist
• Find a Skin Type Solutions trained dermatologist, physician or medical provider
• Take our dermatologist-recommended skin care routine quiz
• Dermatologist guided skin care shopping - look for your skin type octagon next to products that are good for your skin

It's so easy- get started now! You can find your skin type and get started even before you see your doctor to save yourself some time.
