Skincare is not one-size-fits-all. With numerous products available on the market, selecting the right ones for your skin concerns and needs can be overwhelming. It is important to have a process to ensure you make informed choices that support your skin's health and address your specific concerns.
The first step in choosing the right skincare products is understanding your skin type. Skin types generally fall into four categories:
Identifying your skin type will help you select products formulated to address its unique characteristics.
In addition to knowing your skin type, it's essential to identify any specific concerns you want to address. These may include:
Understanding your skin concerns will guide you in choosing products with ingredients that target these issues effectively.
When selecting skincare products, it's crucial to read the labels carefully. Look for key ingredients that address your skin concerns and avoid potentially irritating or harmful substances. Some common ingredients to look for include:
Avoid products containing alcohol, fragrances, and harsh chemicals, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Before incorporating a new skincare product into your routine, it is a good idea to perform a patch test to ensure your skin will tolerate the product. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin and monitor for any signs of irritation or allergy over 24-48 hours.
If you're unsure about which products are right for your skin or if you have persistent skin concerns, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist. They can provide personalized recommendations tailored to your skin type and concerns, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
Choosing skincare products that are right for your individual needs requires understanding your skin type, identifying your concerns, reading labels, and performing patch tests. By following these guidelines and seeking professional advice when needed, you can build a skincare routine that promotes healthy, radiant skin.

Feedback from our amazing patients!
"I can’t believe I did not know about this kind of service! This was absolutely perfect for my health concern and they were able to provide me with the necessary medication and with such cinch. Completely recommended this service. For minor health concerns, this can save you an unnecessary and costly trip to an urgent care center."
"Amazing!! Easy and fast! I didn’t have to take my 4 year old into an urgent care where only god knows what germs are there. The doctor sent the script right to my pharmacy within minutes!!!"
"I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was skeptical at first, but I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours. So instead of waiting & paying around 300$...I paid 40$!! I’m very pleased."
