Non-Negotiable Basics in a Skincare Regimen


Non-Negotiable Basics in a Skincare Regimen - Rodan + Fields

Achieving skin that feels confident and looks its best is simple: start with non-negotiable steps backed by dermatologists and science. In a landscape crowded with products and promises, streamlined routines deliver results worth switching for.

Recognized Steps: The Cornerstones of Real Skincare

1. Cleanser: The Starting Point

Dermatologist-designed cleansers prep skin, removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping moisture.

2. Hydration: Moisturizer

Moisturizers restore the skin’s moisture barrier and lock in vital hydration, delivering visibly smoother and softer skin.

  • Choose lightweight or richer formulas based on personal needs, morning and evening.

3. Sunscreen: Protection Is Non-Negotiable

Daily SPF is clinically backed to reduce the risks associated with sun exposure while lessening the visibility of premature aging.

4. Serum: Targeted Benefits

Serums deliver concentrated ingredients, like collagen or hyaluronic acid, to address specific beauty concerns, from fine lines to uneven tone.

  • Apply serum after cleansing, before moisturizer, for maximum efficacy.

Some conditions (like adult acne or sensitivity) may demand dermatologist-recommended beauty treatments as part of your core routine.

Simplify, Consistently

Order matters:

Stick with these steps every day. The right products, used in the right order, drive real change, without overpromising or chasing beauty clichés.

Universal, Personalized Results

These steps form the backbone for every skin type and life stage.

  • Teens: cleanse and protect with SPF to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. 
  • Adults: incorporate targeted serum for radiance and hydration
  • Mature skin: focus on moisture and sustained SPF protection

Smart Tips for Everyday

  • Double cleanse nightly if using makeup or SPF
  • Add toner post-cleansing for extra balance if needed
  • Patch test every new formula for peace of mind
  • Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors
