Some people rejoice in making their beauty routines from a cocktail of different brands. Some are label loyalists. Why complicate life when the steps are all right in front of you? 

A few dermatologists I’ve also talked to advise sticking to one brand is the best, especially if your skin is reactive. Beauty enthusiasts make a case for simplified routines as it helps you easily identify which ingredients benefit you the most. 

Whatever your reasons may be for taking a more straightforward route for skincare, here are a few brands that might just be what you’re looking for.
