How to Layer Skincare Products the Right Way
You’ve got your cleanser, serum, moisturizer… but does the order matter? Absolutely. Layering products correctly helps them absorb better and work more effectively.
🧼 Step 1: Cleanser
Always start with a clean face — morning and night.
💦 Step 2: Toner or Essence (Optional)
Preps the skin, adds hydration, and improves absorption.
💉 Step 3: Serums and Treatments
Apply thin, active formulas first (Vitamin C, niacinamide, etc.) — from lightest to thickest.
🧴 Step 4: Moisturizer
Locks everything in and hydrates your skin barrier.
☀️ Step 5: SPF (AM only)
Your final and most protective layer — never skip it.
💡 Tips:
-
Let each layer absorb for 30–60 seconds
-
Use 2–3 serums max per routine
-
Oil always goes last (if you use one)
