HARU— SKIN —
Skip to content

A general template, not personalised or medical advice. Start any strong active slowly, patch-test, and see a professional for anything painful, persistent or worsening.

Start with skin logic, then personalize.

Haru does not pretend everyone needs the same routine. The base is simple: cleanse, treat carefully, moisturize, protect. Then the details change by skin type.

Morning is protection

Cleanse only if you wake up oily or sweaty, hydrate, then finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day.

Evening is removal and repair

Remove sunscreen and makeup, cleanse gently, then use treatment only if your skin tolerates it. Finish with moisturizer.

SPF is the non-negotiable step

Reapply about every 2 hours when outdoors, and after sweating or swimming. Actives work better when UV is controlled.

Do less when skin is irritated

Pause retinoids, acids, scrubs and fragrance-heavy extras when skin stings, flakes, burns, or stays red.

Guide

Dry or tight skin

AM

Gentle rinse or creamy cleanser -> hydrating toner/serum -> ceramide moisturizer -> SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> hydrating serum on damp skin -> richer moisturizer or sleeping mask.

Watch out

Avoid foaming cleansers that leave skin squeaky, daily acids, and layering too many actives.

Oily or breakout-prone skin

AM

Light cleanser -> niacinamide or calming serum -> gel moisturizer -> lightweight SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> BHA 2-4 nights/week or acne treatment -> non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Watch out

Do not skip moisturizer; over-stripping often makes oiliness worse.

Sensitive or redness-prone skin

AM

Minimal cleanse -> centella/panthenol serum -> barrier cream -> mineral or gentle SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> soothing serum -> ceramide moisturizer. Add actives one at a time only.

Watch out

Avoid starting retinol, vitamin C and exfoliating acids in the same week.

Combination skin

AM

Gentle cleanser where needed -> light hydration -> moisturizer only where dry -> SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> treatment by zone: BHA on oily areas, barrier care on dry areas -> moisturizer.

Watch out

Do not force one heavy routine on the whole face if your T-zone and cheeks behave differently.

Dullness or uneven tone

AM

Cleanser -> vitamin C or niacinamide -> moisturizer -> SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> gentle AHA 1-3 nights/week or retinoid on alternate nights -> moisturizer.

Watch out

Do not exfoliate daily for glow. Irritation creates more uneven tone.

First simple routine

AM

Cleanser if needed -> moisturizer -> SPF.

PM

Cleanser -> moisturizer.

Watch out

Add only one new product at a time, then wait 1-2 weeks before adding another active.

Based on dermatologist-style routine basics: gentle cleansing, moisturizing, broad-spectrum SPF 30+, cautious active use, and sunscreen reapplication outdoors. Haru is guidance, not a medical diagnosis.
