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.
