Why 10 Skincare Products Could Never Beat One Personalised Formula

An overflowing skincare drawer is something we’ve all experienced. Influencer routines and marketing hype have convinced us we need a product for everything: one for pores, one for glow, one for texture, one for breakouts. But the reality is, more products don’t always equal better results. In fact, they can do more harm than good.  

Here at MiQuest, we believe in less – but better. In this blog, we’ll explore why a 10-step routine might be working against you and why one personalised formula specifically designed for your skin can do more than a shelf full of treatments ever could.

The Myth of the 10-Step Routine  

The skincare industry thrives on excess. With new launches every week, multi-step routines, and endless promises, we can easily start to feel FOMO by not indulging. But the more you layer products, the more you’re likely to:

  • Overload your skin with actives that clash  
  • Trigger irritation or breakouts  
  • Waste time (and money) on products that weren’t made for your skin

This isn’t just inefficient, it’s exhausting. That’s why we created MiQuest: to take the overwhelm out of skincare and deliver something that actually works - personalised, prescription skincare designed for your skin’s real needs.

Why Our Single Personalised Formula Beats 10 Off-the-Shelf Products

One formula for multiple skin concerns:

Our prescribers combine clinically proven ingredients to target multiple issues in a single treatment – saving you steps, time, and stress

No more guesswork:

Using our medically certified AI, we analyse your skin to identify concerns like acne, redness, pigmentation or dryness, to help prescribe what actually works.  

Strictly tailored formulations:

Whether it’s azelaic acid for hyperpigmentation, tretinoin for fine lines, or clindamycin for breakouts, your Q-Stick is built just for your skin, and adjusts as your skin evolves.  

Better for your barrier:

Reducing how many products you use lowers the risk of irritation and supports long-term skin health. We prioritise fewer formulas, and more focus.  

Results you can trust:

We don’t care for trends or gimmicks. We provide formulations with real, medical grade designed to improve skin over time.

Save Time, Save Money, Save Your Skin  

The 10-step routine has many flaws. The average skincare enthusiast spends hundreds trying to “build the perfect routine.” But most of those products get abandoned after a few weeks.
