Welcome to the world of serums, where the magic of skincare is bottled up in potent, lightweight formulas designed to transform your skin. But with great power comes great responsibility—and by that, we mean mastering the art of layering. Yes, it’s not just about putting on products randomly one after the other. To get the best out of your serums, knowing how to layer them correctly is key.
Layering serums is like building a perfect skincare sandwich. Think of it this way: the right combinations of ingredients can do wonders—like brightening dull skin, fading dark spots, plumping up fine lines, and even fighting acne. But, the wrong order could mean wasting all that goodness, or worse, irritating your skin.
But how do you use serums together? That’s where our ultimate guide to layering face serums comes in. We’re here to help you layer like a pro, ensuring each serum works to its full potential, giving your skin the TLC it deserves.
Why does layering matter?
Your skin has different needs throughout the day. In the morning, it craves protection from free radicals, pollution, and UV rays, which is where your brightening and antioxidant-rich serums (like Vitamin C) come into play. At night, it’s all about repair—using powerful ingredients like Retinol to renew and rejuvenate while you sleep.
But here’s the catch: some ingredients work brilliantly together, while others don’t. For example, Vitamin C and Retinol can clash if used at the same time, causing irritation. The key is knowing when to apply each serum and in what order to get the most benefits. Don’t worry; it’s simpler than it sounds, and by the end of this guide, you’ll be layering like a skincare expert!
Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid (AM/PM Routine)
First up, the power duo: Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. These two are like the ultimate glow-getters that every skincare routine needs.
AM: Kickstart your morning with the PureSense Grapefruit Squeeze Radiance Face Serum, loaded with Vitamin C and Grapefruit Extracts, which brighten and shield your skin from harmful environmental damage.* This serum gives you that fresh-out-of-the-shower glow that stays all day long!
Follow up with a Hyaluronic Acid serum to lock in moisture and plump up your skin. The PureSense Watermelon Burst Glow Face Serum is packed with 2% Hyaluronic Acid, giving you the hydration boost your skin craves.*
PM: Got more to give at night? You can repeat this duo before bed to wake up with fresh, plump skin. Hydrate and brighten—it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Pro Tip: Always apply Vitamin C first (it’s the active powerhouse!), followed by Hyaluronic Acid to seal in all that good hydration.
Salicylic Acid (PM) + Vitamin C (AM)
Here’s the perfect routine for my acne-prone friends out there. We’re talking breakout control and post-acne scar fading at its finest.
PM: Start your night routine with the PureSense Guava Groove Acne Clarifying Serum which contains Salicylic Acid and Guava Extracts. It works to unclog pores, reduce breakouts*, and leave your skin feeling clearer and refreshed.
AM: Follow up the next morning with the PureSense Grapefruit Squeeze Radiance Face Serum, giving your skin a fresh burst of brightness and evening out those pesky post-acne marks with the power of Vitamin C.
Pro Tip: Keep Salicylic Acid for your PM routine and Vitamin C for the AM—don’t mix them in the same routine to avoid irritation.
Vitamin C (AM) + Retinol (PM)
Now, here’s a combo that will make your skin thank you! Brightening by day, anti-ageing by night.
AM: Again, it’s PureSense Grapefruit Squeeze Radiance Face Serum to the rescue. This serum, packed with Vitamin C and Grapefruit goodness, brightens your complexion while protecting your skin from environmental stressors.* It's like giving your skin a fresh glass of OJ in the morning!
PM: Now for the nighttime treat—Retinol. The PureSense Rosehip Revive 0.3% Retinol Face Serum is perfect for tackling fine lines, wrinkles, and boosting your skin’s cell renewal process. It also harnesses the power of Rosehip Oil to nourish while the retinol works its magic. You’ll wake up looking fresh and rejuvenated!
Pro Tip: Always pair Retinol with Vitamin C for that one-two punch of brightening and anti-agEing, but make sure to use them in separate routines—Vitamin C in the AM, retinol in the PM. And don’t forget sunscreen!
Retinol (PM) + Hyaluronic Acid (PM)
Here’s a night routine that’s all about anti-ageing and hydration—because your skin deserves the best after a long day.
PM: Apply the PureSense Rosehip Revive 0.3% Retinol Face Serum to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin texture. Let the Rosehip Oil in this serum give your skin that nourishing boost while retinol works on reversing signs of ageing.*
Follow up with PureSense Watermelon Burst Glow Face Serum, with 2% Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture and prevent any dryness that Retinol might cause.* The Watermelon Extracts give your skin an extra soothing effect!
Pro Tip: Retinol can sometimes dry out your skin, which is why adding Hyaluronic Acid after it is a skincare must! Keep your skin hydrated and plump while Retinol works its magic.
How to layer your serums like a pro?
Let’s break it down even further—here’s the perfect order for your serums:
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face, because fresh skin is happy skin.
- Apply serums: Start with the lightest serum first. In this case, that’s Vitamin C, followed by heavier serums like Hyaluronic Acid or Retinol.
- Moisturize: Seal in all that serum goodness with a moisturizer.
- Sunscreen: In your AM routine, always end with sunscreen (especially when using Vitamin C or retinol!).
There you have it—the ultimate cheat sheet to layering face serums like a pro. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, fine lines, or just want to amp up that natural radiance, there’s a PureSense serum (or two) ready to take your skincare game to the next level.
So go ahead, grab your fave serums, start layering, and say hello to healthy, glowing skin!
