What is actually on your shelf?

Take one photo of the products you use. We read the labels, tell you which active ingredients you already own, and tell you whether any two of them are ones that should not go on your face the same night. It takes about thirty seconds and costs nothing.On a laptop? Type the product names instead — you get the same answer.

One photo of the products you actually use. Labels facing out.

Here is what comes back

An example, so you know what you are about to see. Product names are generic on purpose — we do not advertise brands.

4 products I could read

Retinol night serumretinol
Salicylic acid exfoliantsalicylic acid (BHA)
Vitamin C morning serumvitamin C
Barrier repair moisturiserniacinamide

There was one more label I couldn’t make out. I would rather tell you that than guess at the name.

Two of these should not be used on the same night.

That is about the products, not about you — a photo shows a shelf, not your evenings. Which two, and what to do about it, is the part the paid routine answers, along with the order, the nights, and what to stop.

Yours will not look like this one. It is built from whatever is actually in the photo, and if a bottle is turned away or we do not carry it, you will be told there was a label we could not read rather than shown a guess.

The honest small print

Your photo is not stored. It is read once to identify the products and then discarded. We do not keep it, and there is nothing here to sign up for.

Nothing you type is stored either. If you type the names instead of photographing them, the list is matched against our own product records and thrown away with the request. It is not sent anywhere and there is still nothing here to sign up for.

We only report products we can actually identify. If a label is at an angle or the name is one we do not carry, you will be told there was a label we could not read rather than shown a guess at what it said.

This is not medical advice, and it is not a safety check. We compare the ingredients we recognise against published layering guidance. We do not know your prescriptions, your allergies or your medical history, so nothing here should be read as a page telling you a shelf is safe. See the medical disclaimer.

If you want the part that says which two, in what order, on which nights, and what to stop — that is the paid routine. If you would rather just read for a while first, the guides are free too.
