Question people ask

What should I check before buying a skincare product in store?

Plain answer

Check the full ingredient list, your skin concern, the product role, fragrance or active load, and whether the formula makes sense beside what you already use. The shelf label cannot know your routine.

What usually happens

The display makes the product feel urgent. Your skin needs a slower decision.

Rico move

Open Rico in the aisle, scan the ingredient label, and decide whether to buy it, skip it, slow down, or compare a better-fit swap.

Better-fit swap path

If the scan shows a weak fit, look for a product doing the same job with a calmer formula or lighter texture.

Start with one scan

Free scan: Use Rico to scan or paste the ingredient list and get the plain-language product-fit read before you buy or apply.
