What order do you put hyaluronic acid?

Apply hyaluronic serums after cleansing (and toning, if you use a toner). Moisturizers go over the top. During the day, your SPF will be your last skincare step. Most people notice a difference in how their skin feels immediately after applying a hyaluronic acid product.

What do I put on first hyaluronic acid?

The ideal pH levels of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid do not overlap and this can lead to one (or both) ingredients being less effective. Two separate serums is the way to go! When applying both serums, be sure to apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum first (as it is the thinner of the 2) and follow with the HA serum.

What can I layer hyaluronic acid with?

When it comes to establishing a good serum layering skincare routine it is always a good idea to stick to one active ingredient. This can then be layered with hydrating and nourishing serum formulas containing hyaluronic acid and other ingredients such as vitamin E and glycerin.

What order should you apply retinol and hyaluronic acid?

You should use hyaluronic acid after retinol. And to maximise the benefits, you should use retinol first and then wait at least 30 minutes before applying hyaluronic acid.

What goes first hyaluronic acid or BHA?

You'll want to use your BHA product first, not only because BHAs are lower in pH but also because they are oil soluble and AHAs are not. A word of caution though – if you notice any redness, sensitivity, or excessive dryness, that's a sign to slow down with your acids.

Do you put hyaluronic acid on before or after moisturizer?

"It's important to apply HA before your other serums because it helps to seal in the moisturizer you'll be putting on top," confirms board-certified dermatologist Shari Sperling, DO. She adds that it works great as a moisturizer because of how well it binds to water, plumping and hydrating your face.

Do you apply vitamin C or hyaluronic acid first?

A thick moisturizer with hyaluronic acid would be applied after a vitamin C serum, but a hyaluronic acid serum will come before a face cream with vitamin C in its formula. In the case that you have two separate serums, it still comes down to thickness. Apply whichever is thinner first.
