Why Most New Skincare Habits Fail (And How to Make This One Stick)

Buying a new product is the easy part. Actually using it consistently, three weeks in, on a day when you're tired and running late — that's where most routines quietly fall apart. Here's how to set up a daily MORE™ habit that actually survives past the first week.

Why New Routines Usually Fail

Most new habits don't fail because of motivation — they fail because of friction. If a product takes too long to apply, feels unpleasant, or lives somewhere out of sight, it gets skipped on the first busy or low-energy day, and skipped habits are easy to keep skipping. The products that actually stick tend to be the ones that are fast, easy, and visible.

Attach It to Something You Already Do

Habits stick best when they're attached to an existing routine rather than floating on their own as something to remember. Pairing MORE with a shower you're already taking every day — applying it right as you step out, while skin is still damp — means the habit rides along on a routine you're not going to forget, rather than competing for a separate moment of willpower.

Keep It Visible, Not Tucked Away

A product stored in a drawer or cabinet gets used far less consistently than one sitting in plain sight. Keeping a bottle visibly on the bathroom counter, rather than put away after each use, removes a small but real barrier — you don't have to remember it exists if you can see it every time you're in the room.

Lower the Effort as Much as Possible

A two-minute routine survives busy mornings; a ten-minute one doesn't. Part of why a fast-absorbing spray format works better for habit-building than a slow, heavy lotion is simple: less effort means fewer excuses to skip it, especially on the days a routine is most likely to get dropped.

Don't Let One Missed Day Turn Into a Dropped Habit

Missing one day doesn't undo a habit — treating that miss as a reason to give up entirely does. The goal isn't a perfect streak; it's getting back to the routine the next day without turning one skipped application into a week-long lapse.

Give It a Real Trial, Not a Trial Run

Most new routines need a few weeks before they stop feeling like a conscious decision and start feeling automatic. A keep-it-simple approach — same time, same spot, low effort — gives a daily MORE habit a genuine chance to become second nature instead of something that quietly fades after the first bottle. Orders ship free within the U.S., with a 30-day return window on unopened bottles.
