Thayers-focused skincare routine for combination skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

A routine for combination skin built around Thayers products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides help hydrate dry cheeks, while moisturizers and serums with niacinamide help control an oily T-zone and reduce enlarged pores. Cleansing toners with salicylic and glycolic acid also help clear out pores.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to balance the oily T-zone and dry cheeks.
