### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-02-12, version 7.4.65*

I’ve been using this app for years since it came out & I really like it, I love to be able to not only add products to my routines but also tools. I also love that the app tells me when i shouldn’t mix two products. 

That said, the UI has not changed much since the app came out, the routines sections feel a little cluttered and confusing, would love to finally see an UI update & a more clean / clear routine section.

### 2/5 — Great idea… in theory

*2024-10-20, version 7.1.3*

The idea behind it is great and would be useful to me except there is pretty much no products already inputted into it so you will have to manually enter EVERYTHING unless it’s some products from The Ordinary, Hylamide, Loopha, Fountain; The Chemistry Brand or NIOD. Seems quite low effort that other things haven’t slowly been added in over time. Paying for an app that is still so underdeveloped was a bit annoying but I support it none the less and hope to can get developed better in the future

### 3/5 — Very bad

*2024-08-01, version 7.0.24*

No useful information

### 3/5 — Love this app … but recent issues

*2024-06-22, version 7.0.20*

Been using this app for a few years now but in the past few weeks it’s been erasing my morning routine hours later after it’s been completed.

### 5/5 — An app that will match your skincare obsession in the best way✨

*2024-03-03, version 7.0.11*

I truly didn’t think I could love an app so much. I’m new to skincare, but when I get into a new hobby, I get *into* it. I’ll spend hours researching, putting info in spreadsheets, etc. I read about this app on Reddit and was intrigued. People had rave reviews so I downloaded it and omg I am so impressed. As someone who loves all my data to be organized, I love how many little details I can include in the products and how many customization options there are. The app is as meticulous as my routine and makes doing it even more organized, which makes it more fun for me 😅 I’m someone who loves tracking ROI (and I’ve already gotten incredible ROI from this app alone), so the fact that this app not only tracks usage, but also tells me the actual $ value I’m getting from the product, is amazing.

The developer is super responsive to feedback, which I appreciate so much. They have thought of literally everything in terms of customization, and the guide is so clear. I love how it shows potential conflicts but also gives the option to ignore them. I have done far too much research to be considered sane, but for someone just getting started, the automatic layering suggestions are so helpful! I only wish I had discovered this app sooner. If you love organizing and tracking your skincare routine, you NEED this app!

### 5/5 — Definitely a great app!

*2024-02-02, version 6.8.10*

I really love this app. Personally it works great to keep me on top of my skincare routine. Especially since my mind is always so forgetful about what products I have or haven’t used and to keep me on track of what order I should apply my routine. It’s the only app I need tbh. Well worth the purchase!

### 5/5 — Skincare Routine is your recipe for your best complexion!

*2024-01-27, version 6.8.10*

I honestly can’t say enough good about Skincare Routine. 

On and off for years I’ve searched and tried several skincare apps and found fault with all of them. Most tried too hard to be everything. Some had motivational quotes, others tried to incorporate a social aspect where you could connect with other users, and most tried too hard to be cute but put less effort into making the features really useful and valuable. And the UX and UI for most was lacking at best.

So when I found Skincare Routine I was at the end of my rope. I got so much more than I ever could have imagined. There is literally not enough time or space here for me to expand on every single feature I appreciate, so I’ll just hit the highlights.

The photo journal is priceless. It’s one thing to THINK your skincare is working. It’s another thing to be able to scroll back weeks or months and see how much your complexion has changed.

Another thing I like is that you can share your AM or PM routine easily. This is perfect for the TikTok genre or any other social media platform. You can even edit the color of the background and post or print it, or share it with friends.

If you use products from the Deciem brand you can easily add them as they’re in the app’s database. But if you don’t, it’s no big deal. Lay out your products, spend about half an hour and just enter in as much information for each product as you choose; you can even take a picture of the product so it shows in the app. After that, each product will show up in your routine in the order you’re supposed to apply them. 

I also like that you can edit what days and AM and/or PM for products. I can even specify how many times a week for each product. So, for instance, I only use a Vitamin C facial mask twice a week, so I set the days it’s to be used and then set a max of twice a week so that it doesn’t show in my routine after I’ve used it twice.

You can get as macro as you choose to fit your routine to your specific needs.

I used to have the best products but would use them willy nilly then wonder why I wasn’t seeing the promised results. Now? I’ve streamlined my products and still have better results by knowing what to use and when and being disciplined, checking off each step daily. Having a true skincare routine is like having a recipe for my best skin.

And then there’s Chris. Seriously, the man care about his app. On occasion I’ll reach out to with a question or a suggestion and he’s all ears. 

I talk about this app everywhere, all the time. There’s not one single day I am not grateful for Skincare Routine’s ease of use and rich list of features. 

If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try all the others and then try Skincare Routine. You’ll breathe a sigh of relief and never go back to those others again. Promise!

### 5/5 — I appreciate everything about this app

*2023-12-12, version 6.8.10*

There are so many delightful layers to this powerful app. It was already great to be able to see all my products on a calendar. The more I used it though, the more features and capabilities I didn’t know existed began to appear. (At first it seems a little complex, but you just have to commit about an hour to playing with it, and going through each setting, and suddenly it’s crystal clear.) There is so much thoughtful customization, automation , and versatility in this app. It’s honestly refreshing to have such a high quality app. It’s also beautiful to look at. It has saved my skincare routine in that I was getting way too confused about what to use, and not use, when. I also love that it’s a one time purchase. It’s refreshing to not have to commit to yet another subscription. It all makes me feel warm feelings and gratitude for the app developer. You are a MVP! Thank you!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2023-11-07, version 6.6.76*

Ok

### 3/5 — Deciem should be more extensive…

*2023-08-28, version 6.6.73*

I recently downloaded the app after someone recommended it on Reddit but the issue I have with it so far is that the product deciem only consists of 6 brands. I know it’s impossible to have every single product out there but it would be nice to have other popular brands available instead of having to manually add them. Looking forward to updates.

### 4/5 — Not enough info

*2023-02-24, version 6.6.8*

The app is great and I like the functionality. A friend was telling me about something like this and I recommended the app to her. She was happy as it does exactly what she wanted as well. I wish adding products was faster because the first time takes longer with every product for sure, but it's fine when it's just one at a time after that. Maybe a bigger database of common products will be available someday. I like to use it on my iPad to add the ingredients and look at my list, it syncs with my phone which is perfect. I like how it tells you which products not to mix and why. I have two products added manually that show in red without explaination but hopefully the developer can figure out what's creating the product conflict.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-12-03, version 7.2.9*

I dk why you have to make the app with only your products. If I’m paying for a skincare app I should be able to add any product. This is BS. 
I’m p!ssed.

### 1/5 — Total waste of $4

*2025-09-11, version 7.2.9*

This app only covers certain brands. If I wanted to add all my products and their ingredients manually, I would’ve just made a note in my phone to keep track of my routine. Do not recommend. Wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-05-29, version 7.2.7*

This app is awful. I do not understand these reviews. Save your $3.99. You have to custom input every single one of your products very manually all for you to basically set up a checklist that you determine when you add them. You could get the same effect by just creating a routine in your notes app to be honest. There are better apps out there that do this.

### 1/5 — Useless for anything but TO

*2024-12-22, version 7.1.6*

Who rates this well?

### 1/5 — Only for the ordinary products

*2024-04-15, version 7.0.12*

This app is worthless for people that use products outside of the Ordinary. Complete waste of money. In todays world there should be a scan option to pull in products outside of the ordinary ones. They got my $3.99. Don’t let them have yours!!!! HORRIBLE

### 1/5 — Prélèvement sans souscription

*2023-11-11*

J’ai téléchargé l’application parce que j’étais à la recherche d’une application qui allait m’aider à être plus assidu vis-à-vis de ma Skin car routine. Donc j’ai téléchargé cette application mais je n’ai souscrit à aucun abonnement et pourtant j’ai été prélevé donc je trouve que cette application est très moyenne, et bien sûr, j’aimerais être remboursé.

**Developer response:** Bonjour. Cette application n'a pas d'abonnement, il n'est donc pas possible que vous soyez facturé pour un abonnement. Veuillez vérifier s'il s'agit d'une autre application. Veuillez m'envoyer un e-mail si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide.

### 1/5 — So para the ordinary

*2023-09-14*

Uma M!!! Eu uso Skinceuticals

### 1/5 — It’s an app for DECIEM/the ordinary

*2023-06-05, version 6.6.8*

Don’t even bother if you don’t use their products. There is a custom option, but they don’t have a database and you’ll be sitting there inputting hours worth of information when other apps have preloaded databases that will do it for you. Don’t waste your money. Actively trying to get a refund now.

### 1/5 — Has not kept up

*2023-06-04, version 6.6.8*

Missing a lot of products.

### 1/5 — Invasive

*2023-02-12, version 6.6.8*

I used to love this app and use it all the time. I paid for it so that I could have premium access. Now all of a sudden, it’s requiring that I put my email or my personal information in, in order to even use it. I can’t even skip through the requirement. That’s outrageous, I should have unfettered access to this app without putting in my personal information like security questions or my email regardless, since I paid for this. I deleted it.

### 5/5 — JUST BUY IT

*2026-05-20, version 7.4.77*

When it comes to Skincare, I have no idea what I can and cannot use on a daily basis. I have a lot of products that don’t work together. This app is perfect to let me know what days. I can use certain products. I’m able to take a picture and track my Skincare. It lets me know what’s working for me and what’s not I don’t constantly have to guess on what’s next in my skin care routine just lets me know. i’m able to type in every single product and it lets me know what’s in it and it’s just an absolute lifesaver. I recommended to everyone whether you’re new to  Skincare or your advance. This is definitely the app for you. I paid the five dollars and I’ve never regretted it. It’s my holy Grail absolutely wonderful. Just download the app and thank me later.!!!

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2026-05-12, version 7.4.77*

I’ve been using this app for over 5 years and recommend it to anyone I know who wants to better track their skincare products & routines. I love that I can input open and expiration dates of products, it tells me how many uses I get from each product, and helps me remember what I did the day before so I keep myself on track. The developer is also SUPER responsive to questions and feedback, often incorporating user asks into updates. Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — 100% met my needs

*2026-04-11, version 7.4.77*

I started to take my skincare seriously 12 mths ago and was trialling a large range of products. I could not have designed this App better myself to meet my needs and enjoy using it morning & night to track my use of a variety of cleansers, toners, serums, eye products & moisturisers along with masks. The App raises the possibility of any conflicts.

The creator of the App is very responsive & I was very grateful when they increased the font design to assist with my visual impairment. Great App.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2025-11-16*

My skincare routine is a bit complicated and there are a lot of products involved. This app helps me to apply everything in the correct order. Also it helps with changing products, for example when want to apply a product only once in 5 days.

### 5/5 — Solves the Mystery

*2025-05-21, version 7.2.3*

I absolutely love this app. It takes the mystery out of what products conflict with each other, and in what order to do your routine. I found all the brands I use. Simple and effective. Love it!💕

### 5/5 — The Skincare Solution

*2025-02-18, version 7.1.10*

This app is exactly what I was hoping to find. I was (re)researching all my skincare products and taking notes on flash cards to try to develop a routine that would rotate products on certain schedules and pair the right things together and avoid pairing things that don’t mix well, etc. when I felt inspired to see if there was an app that carries out all these functions. This is that app. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now and it has GREATLY simplified the game. It’s also taken the brainwork and stress off the table, as well as brain space devoted to (trying) to keep a past record of what I have used in days prior. I highly recommend this app for anyone wishing for a personal skincare manager.

### 5/5 — Customizable and user-friendly

*2025-02-01, version 7.1.7*

I love how customizable this app is. You can add any skincare product and input the ingredient list, product type, and more, making it easy to keep track of your routine. It also lets you set specific usage schedules and manage potential ingredient conflicts, giving you full control over your skincare regimen.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-01-05, version 7.1.7*

Really helps me to stick to my skincare routine. Absolutely love that everything is customisable. There is even a built-in timer option for masks and other products so I never miss the moment to wash them off! I also like the minimalist look of the app.

### 5/5 — Best app!!!

*2024-04-11, version 7.0.12*

Love this app, I have many skincare products always unsure of layering but this app makes my skin care routine super easy and flawless application. No conflicts esp with using different acid and anti age treatments. Get this app you will love it

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2024-03-06, version 7.0.12*

I’ve been focusing on skin care for a little over a year. This app has been a game changer. I have oily, sensitive, rosacea prone skin and I can’t use retinol or Bakuchiol. Super fun trying to find an age-well routine. 🙂 Being able to log what I’m using and how my skin reacts has helped me continually improve my skin. It is now the best it’s been in my lifetime and I’m 45. Thank you for building this wonderful little tool!
