What app tells you the right order to apply skincare?
The order rules are simple. Remembering them at 6:45am is not.
More than a list
Ordering is where routines quietly go wrong: a watery serum over a heavy cream mostly sits on top, and sunscreen under moisturizer protects less than it should. Selv handles the sequence so nothing has to be memorized, shows method and timing for each step (how to apply, how long to wait), and adjusts when you add or retire a product.
It also checks the chemistry
The same engine that orders your routine checks it against 57 ingredient interaction rules, so you find out before your skin does when two products clash. Retinoids default to evenings, vitamin C to mornings under SPF, exfoliating acids get flagged when stacked with strong actives.
Start from your shelf
Selv builds from what you already own, so starting costs nothing: no account, no subscription, and your data stays on your device. Free on the iOS App Store worldwide, listed as Selv Skin: Routine Tracker.
Common questions
Does it know where sunscreen goes?
Always last in the morning routine, and the app treats that as non-negotiable. It is the one step Selv will consistently keep at the end.
What if I hand-type a product it doesn't know?
Products can be added by type (cleanser, serum, moisturizer), and the app orders them correctly from the type alone.
Does it handle AM and PM differently?
Yes. Morning and evening are separate routines with separate ordering: vitamin C defaults to mornings, retinoids and strong actives to evenings.
