A SIMPLER PLACE TO START
Map your skin and answer seven short questions about how your skin usually feels, what you are using now and how much routine fits your life. We’ll build a considered starting routine from products currently stocked in Melbourne—and explain the reason behind every step.
Your routine, reasoned
Morning
1. Moisturise
Why it’s here
Keeps hydration in place before sun protection goes on.
2. Appropriate sun protection
Why it’s here
The daytime step with the clearest long-term role.
Evening
1. Cleanse
Why it’s here
Removes sunscreen and the day’s buildup without stripping.
2. Targeted step, only if relevant
Why it’s here
Included only when one concern is worth addressing.
3. Moisturise
Why it’s here
Leaves the barrier comfortable overnight.
Left out for now
A second hydrating toner, an extra serum with the same role, or a mask added out of habit— steps that duplicate the routine or add complexity without a clear purpose.

The Routine Finder provides cosmetic product guidance. It does not diagnose or treat acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis or another medical condition. If your skin is persistently painful, severely irritated or changing unexpectedly, seek advice from an appropriately qualified health professional.
WHAT DO YOU NOTICE MOST?
Start with how your skin usually feels and the concern you most want your routine to support.
There are no perfect answers. “Not sure” is always available.
WHAT ARE YOU ALREADY USING?
We consider your existing routine so we can avoid unnecessary duplicates and overly complicated recommendations.
More products do not automatically make a better routine.
WHAT EARNS A PLACE?
Receive a routine using products available from Skin Grocer, shown in usage order with the reasoning behind every recommended step.
If a step does not have a clear role, we leave it out.
A routine that fits real life
A useful routine does not need to fill a bathroom shelf. Begin with cleansing, moisturising and appropriate daytime sun protection. Add hydration, treatment or a mask only when you understand the role it will play.
You do not need to buy every step shown here.
Remove sunscreen, makeup and the day’s buildup without leaving skin feeling unnecessarily stripped.
A morning cleanse is optional. Double cleansing is most useful when removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen.
Explore cleansersSupport hydration and comfort with a texture that suits how your skin feels.
Choose a lighter texture when rich creams feel heavy, or a richer cream when skin still feels tight.
Explore moisturisers
During the day, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen listed for sale in Australia and follow its labelled directions.
Sunscreen is regulated differently in Australia and Korea, so Skin Grocer links to Australian guidance rather than recommending an unverified product.
Read Australian sunscreen guidanceAdd one optional step only when you can explain what it contributes to your routine. Introduce one new product at a time so you can better understand how your skin responds.
Add a hydrating toner or serum only when it has a clear role.
Use strong actives according to their directions. Introduce one new active at a time.
Tell us what your skin feels like, what you already use and how much routine fits your life. We’ll suggest a starting point using products currently stocked in Melbourne.

THE DAILY RITUAL
Korean skincare does not need to mean ten steps. Begin with the essentials, add only what has a clear role, and introduce one new product at a time.
A simple starting point
Your three, not ten.
Cleanse · Optional hydration · Moisturise
Example routine only. Product suitability varies by individual. The visual represents a simple base routine—not a complete morning routine; appropriate sun protection is explained in the Morning guide.
Your morning routine prepares your skin for the day. Not every person needs every step.
Use a gentle cleanser if your skin needs it, or rinse with water if that feels more comfortable.
An optional toner, essence or serum can support a specific routine goal. It is not compulsory.
Use a moisturiser when your skin needs additional comfort or moisture support.
Finish with appropriate sun protection suitable for lawful Australian supply and follow its labelled directions.
Your evening routine removes the day and supports a comfortable moisture routine overnight.
Remove makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup using a cleanser appropriate for what you wore that day.
Double cleansing is optional—not a requirement for everyone.
Use one relevant toner, essence or serum if it has a clear role in your routine.
Finish with a moisturiser suited to your preferred texture and level of comfort.
You do not need to use every category shown. Introduce products gradually, patch-test where appropriate and stop using a product if significant irritation develops.
