Wait… What Order Am I Supposed To Use My Products In?
May 11, 2026 · Cozette Molejon
One of the most common questions we get is what order to use your products in — and honestly, I get it. Especially once you start building a real routine and suddenly have cleansers, serums, masks, moisturizers, oils… all the things. 😭
The good news is: it really doesn’t have to be complicated.
A simple rule I always tell people is to go from thinnest to thickest.
For most routines, that usually looks like this:
Cleanser → Toner or Mist → Serum → Moisturizer → Oil (if you use one)
Your lighter, water-based products usually go on first, while thicker creams and oils go last to help lock everything in. ✨
Another thing I always tell people is: you do not need to use every single product every single day. Your skin likes consistency way more than doing too much.
Masks, exfoliants, and stronger treatments can be rotated throughout the week, while your everyday routine should focus on keeping your skin clean, hydrated, and supported.
Also pls apply your serums on damp skin when you can 👀 especially hydrating serums. It helps your skin hold onto moisture better and honestly just feels nicer overall.
At the end of the day, skincare should feel supportive, not stressful. Your routine does not need 12 steps to work. Keep it simple, pay attention to your skin, and stay consistent 🤍
