Concern scanner
Start from the skin problem, then narrow by active and tolerance.
Dark spots and uneven tone
Vitamin C forms, azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, and irritation risk are separated.
Dryness and barrier stress
Ceramides, panthenol, humectants, and occlusive load are reviewed by routine slot.
Shortlist desk

Cards pair editorial notes with active type, likely skin fit, caution flags, and value signals so affiliate picks still feel auditable.
Vitamin C without guesswork
Stability, packaging, concentration, and morning routine fit in one view.
Ceramide creams by finish
Heavy night creams and daytime-friendly gels are not scored in the same lane.
Sunscreens people reapply
White cast, eye sting, finish, and makeup behavior sit above brand hype.
Comparison frame
Dense tables stay readable on desktop and collapse cleanly on mobile.
