How to Layer Your Skincare Products in an Anti-Aging Skincare Routine

What goes on first- Vitamin C serum or Hyaluronic acid? When do I apply my retinoid? Definitely a popular topic especially since we want our skincare products to work at their full capacity! Here I go over the order of application of popular ingredients in a morning and nighttime anti-aging skincare routine. Hope this helps!!

  1. I tried the Eucurin Radiant with SPF and didn’t see much difference in my age spots and the fragrance would irritate my eyes.
