AI Skincare Routine

A personalized skincare
routine built by AI.

Quartz builds a clear morning and night skincare routine that matches your skin type, your concerns, and the products you already own. Instead of guessing layer order or copying a viral routine that doesn't fit your skin, you get an AM/PM plan that respects ingredient interactions, climate, and how your skin actually behaves week to week.

  • AM and PM routines tailored to your skin type and concerns
  • Smart product picks — or use what you already have
  • Safe layering rules (retinoid, AHA/BHA, vitamin C, SPF)
  • Adapts when you break out, travel, or run out of a product

Why most skincare routines fail

The two most common mistakes in skincare are stacking too many actives at once and copying someone else’s routine wholesale. A routine built for oily, acne-prone skin in a humid climate is wrong for dry, sensitive skin in dry winter air. Quartz personalizes the routine itself, not just the product picks, so your skin actually responds.

  • Cleanser type matched to oil production, sensitivity and makeup use
  • Active ingredients introduced gradually to avoid barrier damage
  • SPF, hydration and barrier support sized to your climate
  • Pause / swap rules when your skin reacts or you travel

How Quartz builds your skincare routine

You share a few facts about your skin: type, common concerns (acne, texture, redness, pigmentation, aging), what you’ve tried, what irritates you, and what climate you live in. Quartz combines that with rules informed by dermatology best practices to write your AM and PM routine, step by step.

  • AM: cleanser, treatment (antioxidant / hydration), moisturizer, SPF
  • PM: cleanser, treatment (retinoid / acid / hydration), moisturizer
  • Weekly add-ons (exfoliation, masks) only when your skin can handle them
  • Clear product reasons so you understand each step

Ingredients Quartz handles for you

Some ingredient combinations work beautifully together; others irritate skin or cancel each other out. Quartz handles the layering rules so you don’t have to memorize them.

  • Retinoids paired with the right moisturizer and never with strong AHAs at the same time
  • Vitamin C placed where it absorbs best in the AM routine
  • Niacinamide and hydrators slotted in for barrier support
  • SPF treated as non-optional — every AM routine

Use what you own, buy what helps

Quartz doesn’t force you to buy products. If you tell it what you already own, your routine is built around your shelf. When a product genuinely helps your goal — for example, an SPF you’re missing — Quartz suggests options at different price points with clear reasoning.

Frequently asked questions

Does Quartz work for sensitive skin?+
Yes. You tell Quartz about your sensitivities and previous reactions, and the routine starts gentle, introducing actives slowly so your barrier stays intact.
Can Quartz replace a dermatologist?+
No. Quartz is great for routine building and product picks, but if you have a medical concern (severe acne, eczema, rashes) you should see a dermatologist.
Will my routine change over time?+
Yes. As your skin improves or seasons change, Quartz adjusts your routine — adding actives carefully, swapping moisturizers, increasing or reducing exfoliation.
Do I need to follow it every day to see results?+
You don't need to be perfect. Quartz is designed to keep you on track even when you skip a day, with a routine simple enough to follow on busy mornings.
Can I buy products through Quartz?+
Quartz suggests products with reasons. We don't force a checkout — you can buy wherever you like, or use what you already own.
