PROVEN SkinSpecific routines are complete solutions on their own, but they’re also designed to work well with other products. You can safely mix and match to address changing skin needs, though we recommend starting with one routine first to gauge your skin’s response, making adjustments as desired.

You don’t need to see a dermatologist before starting the Acne Routine. The formulas are designed to be approachable and effective for most skin types. If you have a medical skin condition or are using prescription treatments, check with your dermatologist to ensure the routine fits your current care plan.

SkinSpecific provides targeted routines focused on a single primary concern. The Acne Routine uses science-backed ingredients selected to support clarity and balance. PROVEN Pro is fully personalized and adapts to your unique skin profile and environment, helping address multiple skin concerns at once.

We recommend keeping your routine simple. The Acne Routine already includes ingredients selected to support clarity, and adding more active treatments may lead to dryness or irritation. If needed, you can pair it with gentle, localized options like blemish patches.

With consistent use, each product typically lasts 6–8 weeks. This may vary depending on how much you apply.
