The Best Skincare Routine For All Skin Types (Yes, Even Yours)

What's Your Skin Type?

Oily. Dry. Combo. Sensitive.

We’ve been told our skin has to fit under one of these labels and that each one needs a completely different routine.

But here’s the truth: most skin types aren’t static, nor are they all that different.

Your skin can be oily one week, dry the next, breakout-prone during your cycle, or reactive when the seasons change.

So instead of overcomplicating your shelf, what if you built a routine that actually works with your skin, not against it, no matter what it’s doing that day?

Here’s how to build the ultimate universal skincare routine, with just five steps all tailored to support clear, balanced, and healthy looking skin.

Step 1: Start with a Low-pH, High-Powered Cleanser

A good cleanser should do one thing well: clean your skin without stripping it.

Harsh cleansers, especially foaming or high-pH ones, can damage your skin barrier, increase your risk of irritation or inflammation, and trigger more oil production or sensitivity. But here’s what most people don’t realize:

👉 Powerful doesn’t have to mean harsh.

You don’t need to feel squeaky clean or tight for your cleanser to be effective. In fact, if your skin feels tight after washing, that’s a red flag. Your barrier’s been compromised.

That’s where Panaclear changes the game. Our Complexion Perfection Face Wash is:

It’s a high-powered formula built to cleanse deeper, not harsher.

Instead of blasting your skin with actives, it works with your biology to remove the real root cause of recurring breakouts without creating new problems.

Look for any cleanser with:

  • Gentle surfactants (not sulfates)
  • Hydrating or barrier-friendly ingredients like glycerin, panthenol, or oat extract
  • A low pH (around 4.5–5.5)

Panaclear checks all the boxes and then some.

Step 3: Target Trouble Spots with a Smart Serum or Spot Treatment

You don’t need a 7-step serum lineup. Just one that’s doing the work.

✅ If you’re dealing with breakouts, our Flawless Finish Spot Treatment is your go-to.

It’s formulated to:

  • Cleanse away biofilms - NOT dry out your skin
  • Reduce the appearance of redness associated with breakouts
  • Leave your skin with a silky smooth finish

And it doesn’t rely on the usual harsh suspects like benzoyl peroxide meaning less irritation, no peeling, and no flaking under makeup.

For general skin support, you can layer in a niacinamide or hyaluronic acid serum, but keep it simple. One or two solid actives are better than three or four conflicting ones.

Step 4: Lock In with a Barrier-Supporting Moisturiser

Yes, even oily skin needs moisturiser.

Skipping this step can make things worse by forcing your skin to overproduce oil or leaving it vulnerable to irritation.

Look for:

  • Ceramides
  • Squalane
  • Fatty acids
  • Lightweight, non-comedogenic options formulated for oilier skin
  • Richer creams with occlusives for dry or sensitive skin

Your moisturiser’s job is to seal in hydration, reduce water loss, and protect your barrier. All things every skin type needs.

Step 5: Finish with Broad Spectrum SPF Every. Single. Day.

There’s no point in investing in a great routine if you skip SPF.

UV damage breaks down collagen, weakens your barrier, worsens post-acne marks, and accelerates skin aging no matter your skin type.

Choose a sunscreen that:

  • Is broad spectrum (UVA + UVB)
  • Suits your finish preference (dewy vs matte)
  • Doesn’t pill under makeup

🧴 Tip: If sunscreen tends to irritate you, try mineral formulas with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide especially if your skin is breakout-prone or reactive. While they may leave you with a slight white-cast, it may be the better choice depending your skin’s needs.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Overthink It. Simplify It!

Great skincare isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works. Consistently.

A routine that includes:

  • A gentle, effective cleanser
  • A spot treatment or serum
  • A balanced moisturiser
  • Reliable SPF

…is enough to support clear, calm, balanced skin across all skin types.

So yes, this routine is for oily skin.

Yes, it’s for sensitive skin.

And yes, it works if your skin doesn’t fit neatly into a box or label.
