The Truth About 1 Minute Skincare
In skincare, time has become a luxury. Between long ingredient lists, multi step routines, and social media trends that encourage layering product after product, it is easy to believe that results only come from doing more. The truth is, more steps do not always mean better skin.
Dr. Kaplan has always challenged the idea that skincare needs to be complicated to be effective. As a board certified dermatologist, he saw patients overwhelmed by routines they could not realistically maintain. Products were being layered on top of each other with the expectation that each one would perform at its best, even though the skin can only absorb so much.
As Dr. Kaplan often explains, “Skincare should work with your skin, not against it. If a routine is too complicated, people will not stick with it, and consistency is what actually delivers results.”
That belief is what led to the creation of truly efficient formulas that respect both the skin and real life.
What 1 Minute Skincare Actually Means
One minute skincare is not about rushing through your routine or cutting corners. It is about using high performance formulas designed to deliver visible results without unnecessary steps.
The Diamond Contour® Supercharged 1 Minute Daily Facial[‘-[ was developed as a true multitasker. It exfoliates, cleanses, brightens, and smooths skin in a single step, eliminating the need for multiple exfoliating products that can irritate or overwhelm the skin barrier. Used daily, it helps maintain clarity and glow while keeping the routine simple and consistent.
The same philosophy applies to the Diamond Contour 1 Minute Skin Tightening Retinol Concentrate. Retinol is one of the most effective ingredients in dermatology, but it is often avoided because of complicated usage rules or irritation from over layering. This formula was designed to deliver clinical strength retinol in a way that fits seamlessly into a nightly routine, without the need for additional treatment steps.
According to Dr. Kaplan, “The goal is not how many products you use. The goal is how well each product performs. When a formula is done correctly, it should earn its place in your routine.”
Why Fewer Steps Can Mean Better Results
The skin has limits. Applying too many serums and treatments at once can actually reduce penetration and increase sensitivity. Instead of allowing each ingredient to work properly, products can sit on the surface of your skin or interfere with one another.
By streamlining the routine, the skin is able to better absorb active ingredients, recover between treatments, and maintain a healthier barrier. This is especially important with ingredients like retinol, where consistency and proper formulation matter more than quantity.
Dr. Kaplan often reminds patients that results come from repeatable habits, not extreme routines. “If you cannot commit to it nightly, it is not the right routine for you. Skincare should fit into your life, not take it over.”
Why Doing Less Can Actually Do More for Your Skin
One minute skincare is not a shortcut. It is a smarter approach built on dermatologic science, performance driven formulas, and respect for the skin’s natural function. When products are designed to do more in less time, you do not lose results. You gain consistency, clarity, and healthier skin over time.
If your routine feels complicated, this is your sign to simplify. Start with the 1 Minute Daily Facial in the morning and the 1 Minute Skin Tightening Retinol Concentrate at night, and let your skincare work harder in less time. Because the most effective routine is the one you will actually use, every single day.
