I love the simple life. Over the years, I’ve learned that simple doesn’t have to mean less effective. As a woman in STEM, I take science-based skincare very seriously, and I’ve found that more often than not, less is more. That’s why I’ve vowed to find the best 3-step system to make my skin healthier with all the glow I can muster.
Recently, I came across two amazing skincare brands that promise to whittle your routine down to a few core products: PROVEN Skincare and TULA. Both offer formidable complexion-care bundles, but one was the clear winner for me.
Find out which could simplify your skincare routine to achieve those glow-up goals:
For the most personalized skincare quiz… PROVEN
Don’t get me wrong—both brands have a skincare quiz to help you find the right product in their lineup. However, what pushes the PROVEN Personalized Subscription over the top is their award-winning proprietary Skin Genome Project™ database that harnesses insights from over 4,000 scientific papers and 20 million consumer reviews.
The scientific foundation ensures every ingredient is clean and cruelty-free, and the most clinically effective formulation on the market to promote my skin's long-term health.
The ultra-personalized quiz has the most thorough questions I’ve ever seen in a skincare quiz, and despite this attention to detail, only takes a few minutes to complete. TULA’s quiz also had a great 3-step product recommendation, but didn’t have the same level of customization or multi-functionality as PROVEN.
For those who prefer to shop in person… TULA
TULA is available in brick and mortar locations in both Ulta and Sephora, so if you value being able to purchase your skincare regimen in person, this might be a game changer for you.
PROVEN is currently online only, but you can get it shipped for free with a Personalized Subscription. This will run you $129.99, and includes a 1.7 fl ounce Cleanser, 1 fl ounce Day Moisturizer with SPF 40, and a 1 fl ounce Night Cream. And believe me: a little goes a LONG way.
For clinically effective skincare… PROVEN
The PROVEN 3 step routine is really all your skin needs to achieve a brighter, more youthful complexion, and we’ve got science to thank for that. 🔬🧪
Each product is formulated with clinically “proven” ingredients like Vitamin D, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Arbutin, and Green Tea Extract, among others. This regimen is personalized to meet your skin’s individual needs, so you can be sure that the product you receive will suit your skin.
For clean beauty and science-backed skincare aficionados… PROVEN
While both TULA and PROVEN are skincare product gems in the clean beauty and cruelty-free category, PROVEN really takes it a step further in their focus on clean ingredient sources and transparency in their sustainability practices.
PROVEN also has the edge on transparency with independent third-party research on every product result for every skin concern.
Overall winner… PROVEN
The PROVEN Personalized Subscription won me over with their 3-Step Skincare Quiz, tailored skincare formulations, and the attention to detail in every step of the process.
I want every skincare ingredient I put on my face to be effective, efficient, and ethical. While both products show promise in their respective skincare objective, PROVEN is exactly what my skin needs to stay healthy and look its best.
