How to Layer Skincare Products Correctly

Properly layering skincare ensures each product works effectively. A general rule is to go from thinnest to thickest texture.

1. Basic Order of Application

1. Cleanser
2. Toner or essence (optional)
3. Water-based serums (e.g., hyaluronic acid)
4. Treatment serums (e.g., niacinamide, vitamin C)
5. Eye cream (optional)
6. Moisturizer
7. Sunscreen (morning only)

2. Night Routine Adjustments

At night, you can swap vitamin C for retinol or other treatment products and skip sunscreen.

Give each layer a few moments to absorb and avoid using too many strong actives at the same time.
