Skincare Routine Tracker Log
Read full descriptionHide full description
PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Tick off your skincare routine every morning and night — and actually keep it going. SkinRoutine is a skincare tracker, routine planner and skin diary in one calm, editorial space. Build your AM and PM step lists in the order you apply them, check off each step with a tap, keep a streak, log how your skin feels, and track every product on your shelf down to the day it expires. Where other apps grade your face or push a shop, SkinRoutine only organizes the routine you chose — and every ingredient note it shows is quoted from a named public source like the AAD or the FDA, never invented. WHAT YOU GET • Your morning routine waiting when you open the app — "3 of 6 done", a progress ring closing, each remaining step in the order you apply it • A streak counter that turns "I always quit skincare" into a 30-day chain you won't want to break • A shelf that warns "18 days left" on an opened vitamin C serum before it turns brown and useless • A two-minute skin check-in — condition 1–5, breakouts, mood, concern tags, a photo — that grows into a swipeable progress timeline • Insights that answer "is this routine working?": your 30-day consistency, your skin condition trend line, your most-logged concerns • Ingredient safety notes with the source attached — retinoid sun and pregnancy guidance from the AAD, the FDA's AHA sunburn alert — shown only when your routine actually contains those actives, and never locked behind a purchase PERFECT FOR • Anyone starting a retinoid who wants to ease in slowly and stay consistent • Multi-step routine devotees who keep forgetting whether they already did the essence • Breakout-prone skin that needs a diary to spot what actually triggers it • People with a drawer of half-used products and no idea which ones are past their best WHY NOT JUST A NOTES APP OR A HABIT TRACKER? Because they don't know skincare. A generic tracker can't split AM from PM, can't count down a product's post-opening expiry, can't chart skin condition against routine consistency, and will never tell you — with a source — why a retinoid belongs at night. SkinRoutine does all of that out of the box. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your routines, journal entries and progress photos stay on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no feed. Photos of your face are yours alone. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) SkinRoutine Pro unlocks unlimited steps per routine, a weekly treatment routine alongside AM and PM, an unlimited product shelf, and the SPF reapply reminder with custom reminder times. Available as a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your journal, insights and safety notes are never locked. Add tonight's PM routine now — it takes two minutes, and tomorrow morning your streak starts at 1.

Selv checks your skincare routine for ingredient clashes and puts every product in the right order, morning and evening. Add what you already use. Selv looks at the actives inside, flags pairs that don't belong in the same routine, like a retinoid and an exfoliating acid on the same night, and tells you what to do instead: alternate nights, move a step, or ask your dermatologist. WHAT SELV DOES - Routine Check: catches ingredient clashes across your morning and evening routines. - The right order: every step where it belongs, thinnest to thickest, sunscreen last. - Guided setup: tell Selv your sensitivities, preferences and favorite brands, and it checks for them. - Quiz picks: recommendations that work with what you already own. - What's in it: fragrance, sulfates, parabens and more, read from the ingredient list. - Stay consistent: streaks, reminders and your Skin Score. - Restock alerts: know a product is getting low before you run out. - Favorites and requests: heart the products you love, and ask us to add anything missing. HOW SELV WORKS - Free. You never pay. - Recommendations can't be bought. Brands can't pay to change what Selv tells you. - Your data is never sold. - No account needed. Your routine lives on your phone. Sign in only if you want it backed up. - Selv may earn a commission when you shop through a link in the app, at no extra cost to you. Selv is a routine tool, not medical advice. For prescription treatments, follow your dermatologist.
