One of the most common areas of confusion in skincare is knowing what goes first. Many people aren’t sure whether serum comes before moisturiser, if oil should be applied before cream, or where sunscreen fits into the routine. Even the best products won’t deliver optimal results if they’re layered incorrectly.
That’s why we’re here to clear up the confusion. We’ve created simple day and night routines to help you layer your products correctly and get the best results from your skincare.
The Golden Rule of Layering
Rule 1: Apply from thinnest to thickest
Start with lightweight, water-based products and build up to richer creams so each layer can absorb properly.
Rule 2: Finish with facial oil
Facial oils should always be your final step, helping to seal in moisture and lock in the benefits of everything underneath.
Think of it like getting dressed — lightweight pieces first, heavier layers last.
🌞 Morning Routine
- Cleanser
- Toner (if using)
- Treatment (serums + actives)
- Eye Cream
- Moisturiser
- Facial Oil
- SPF
🌙 Evening Routine
- Double Cleanse (if using makeup/SPF)
- Toner (optional)
- Treatment (serums + actives)
- Eye Cream
- Night Cream
- Facial Oil
How Long Should You Wait Between Products?
As a general guideline 60–90 seconds between layers is enough. Allow strong actives (like retinol) to absorb before moisturising and give SPF a few minutes to set before applying makeup.
Common Layering Mistakes
- Applying oil before serum (blocks absorption)
- Using too many active ingredients at once
- Skipping SPF
- Over-exfoliating
- Layering products with conflicting actives
