Serum & Ampoule

So that yourface serumto be as effective as possible, it must be applied on aclean, slightly damp skin, just afterthe cleaner(and possiblya tonerOran essence). Take 2 to 3 drops in the palm of your hand, warm them between your fingers, thentap gentlyon the face and neck, without rubbing.

This applies to all types of serums:moisturizing face serumwith hyaluronic acid,anti-blemish serumwith niacinamide, or evenbakuchiol serumto soothe and smooth without irritation. Remember to let the serum absorb for 30 to 60 seconds before applying your cream.

Yes, you can definitely layer two serums if your skin has multiple needs! This is actually a common practice in Korean routines. This is called “layering,” as long as you follow a few simple rules:

1. Apply the thinnest one first (e.g. hyaluronic acid serum), followed by the thickest one (e.g. retinol serum or anti-aging serum).
2. Do not mix two powerful actives if you are a beginner (e.g. retinol + vitamin C may be too strong).
3. Listen to your skin: If there are signs of discomfort or tightness, reduce to just one serum.

A good duo, for example, can combine a hydrating facial serum in the morning and an anti-blemish serum in the evening.

Facial serum is generally used morning and/or evening, after cleansing and beforemoisturizerThe ideal is to adapt the application according to the type of serum:

• Hyaluronic acid serum is very good to apply morning and evening, as it deeply hydrates.
• Retinol serum is best used in the evening because it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun.
• The anti-blemish serum or radiance serum can be applied in the morning, always followed by an SPF cream.
• Anti-aging serum is often used in the evening, to maximize nighttime cell regeneration.

💡 Holy Skin Tip: In the morning, focus on radiance and protection. In the evening, focus on restorative care.
