Ingredient watchlist from our library #

• Formulation changes: always check the exact label when you repurchase.
• Retinoids and stronger actives: these are common reasons products move out of the safe-leaning group.
• Product-level scoring matters more than brand reputation alone.

How to use these picks #

• AM: keep the routine simple and pair your core product with a plain moisturiser and sunscreen if relevant.
• PM: use the calmer products from the same brand or category and avoid layering too many actives.
• If your skin is reactive: introduce one change at a time and re-check the exact product name.
