Routine Table (DO NOT USE EVERYTHING AT ONCE)
| Routine Lane | Morning | Night | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner acne / marks | Cleanser or rinse → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Azelaic acid → Moisturizer → SPF 50 | Cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer → Tretinoin 2–3x weekly → Moisturizer | Best starting lane. HA helps reduce dryness from tretinoin. Do this for 8–12 weeks before changing everything. |
| Oily / jawline acne | Cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Clascoterone if prescribed → Azelaic acid → Moisturizer → SPF 50 | Cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Clascoterone if prescribed → Moisturizer → Tretinoin on retinoid nights → Moisturizer | Good for androgen-pattern oily acne, but clascoterone is prescription. HA helps keep the barrier from drying out while using actives. |
| Advanced retinoid lane | Cleanser/rinse → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Azelaic acid if tolerated → Moisturizer → SPF 50 | Cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer → Tazarotene 1–2x weekly at first → Moisturizer | Use HA as barrier support. Do not combine tretinoin and tazarotene. Tazarotene replaces tretinoin. |
| Barrier repair week | Rinse → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer → SPF 50 | Cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer only | Use when skin burns, flakes, stings, or looks shiny/tight. No actives. Just hydration and repair. |
| Isotretinoin lane | Gentle cleanser/rinse → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer → SPF 50 | Gentle cleanser → Hyaluronic acid on damp skin → Moisturizer/lip balm | HA can help dryness, but isotretinoin should be doctor-managed. Usually keep topicals minimal unless your derm says otherwise. |
| Estriol lane | Not default | Doctor-only if medically appropriate. Hyaluronic acid + moisturizer can still be used for hydration support. | Not a normal skinmaxx. Do not casually add hormones. |
