Subscription kits are an easier way to start a skin care routine than diving into that rabbit hole of a lotion aisle at the pharmacy. Because kits show up every few weeks, they simplify things, which leads in turn to better consistency — the key to any successful regimen. These kits are designed to be as fussy as you want to get, from a basic three-bottle morning routine to larger sets that will fill a medicine cabinet shelf (and a good chunk of your morning). Most boxes give you enough product for about 30 days so you can see which works for you before subscribing. Plan on finishing the kit, as it’s common to see results in about three to six weeks.
