THE POIRÉA METHOD

Less guesswork.
More understanding.

We match your answers against a documented catalogue of cosmetic products. The selection engine follows explicit rules; it does not make a diagnosis or predict your results.

Precautions come first

A known allergy, high reactivity, a treatment or an unusual sign may rule out a formula, limit active ingredients or pause recommendations. An allergy not included in our list requires a person to check the ingredients.

A selection for everyday life

Skin type, tightness, sensitivity and habits guide the ranking. The engine takes account of the skincare categories you already use and favours a short selection, with one product per step. Choosing an essential routine favours budget-friendly formats and limits targeted products.

Redness after using a product and tightness also limit targeted skincare, even if your skin generally seems tolerant. Marks or a wish for a more even-looking complexion give sun protection greater priority. Choosing a simple routine removes optional active ingredients, whichever plan you select.

Skin tone is a descriptive reference, never a beauty ranking. Undertones and age are not used to invent medical precision. Answers about your nose, eyes and mouth help put the guidance in context: cosmetics do not change facial structure.

Identifiable products, accessible sources

Documented product pages identify the reference and its sources. Where a merchant offer is verified, the button names the destination retailer. Manufacturer information may be provided separately. Check the version, ingredients, seller and current terms before buying.

Popularity does not replace relevance to your answers. Ranking considers declared needs, texture, sensitivity, size when you want a simple routine, and available formula evidence. A “gem” label is an assessment within the selection, not a guarantee of results.

The basics before active ingredients

Gentle cleansing, suitable moisturising and sun protection form the general foundations of the routine. This approach is consistent with guidance from theAmerican Academy of Dermatology. Sunscreen is applied after other skincare products.

Why might a selection be paused?

Some answers, such as dermatological treatment or an unsupported allergy, require a check the engine cannot make on its own. Your space identifies the answer concerned. Keep it if it is accurate; ask your healthcare professional before adding a product. A Premium subscription does not override this precaution.

A short selection can also reflect a lack of documented products for your restrictions. This differs from a loading error or a plan limit: an error should offer a retry, rather than imply that no suitable products exist.

Even in these situations, a separate list of documented basic skincare products remains available when the evidence allows. Review these pages with your healthcare professional; they do not confirm suitability and are not automatically added to your routine.

What role does affiliate revenue play?

Some retailer links are affiliate links: Poiréa may receive a commission under the partner’s terms. This income is not part of the recommendation score and cannot let a product bypass your restrictions. You buy from the retailer; an outbound click does not confirm an order.

What you can expect

Explained choices and a journal to track how your skin feels. Results and tolerance vary. The free account reveals up to 11 products. Premium previews complete the selection when other products meet your criteria, with no time limit. No skin transformation within a given period is promised.

Initial catalogue documented on 7 September 2026. Manufacturers may reformulate their products: the packaging is the reference for the formulation used.
