The Art of Layering Serums for Different Skincare Needs

The Art of Layering Serums for Different Skincare Needs

Master the art of layering serums to boost hydration, target concerns, and get the most from your skincare routine.

We are big fans of layering serums, and now that we have an exciting new addition to our facial serum collection, Ectoin Repair Serum, it’s time to put together some very clever power pairings. Doing this allows you to get the most out of this important step in your routine, since serums are designed to be highly concentrated formulas that target specific skin concerns, the more the merrier. 

Whatever your skin concerns, dullness, redness, hyperpigmentation or dehydration; the concept is simple. You just layer on different serums so that you get all their dedicated benefits. You can either blend the serums together in the palm of your hand before applying or layer them one at a time. If you choose the latter, apply the serum intended to target your primary skin concern first, allow it to absorb then follow up with your second choice. 

To Soothe Sensitivity

Try: Ectoin Repair Serum + Face Oil 
Sensitive skin requires extra care, and the key to calming it is supporting the skin barrier. As showcased in our Strengthen & Repair DuoEctoin Repair Serum helps to repair the skin barrier and protects against environmental stressors, while nourishing Face Oil locks in moisture and reduces discomfort. 

To Restore Lost Lustre

Try: Hyaluron Serum + Vitamin C Complex Serum 
If your skin is looking tired or dull, our Hydrate & Glow Duo is for you. Powered by optimally balanced low and high molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, Hyaluron Serum draws plumping moisture deep into the skin, while Vitamin C Complex Serum brightens and energises, restoring a dewy, refreshed and radiant glow. 

To Target Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation

Try: Vitamin C Complex Serum + Ectoin Repair Serum 
For uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation, stabilised vitamin C combined with mushroom extracts in Vitamin C Complex Serum gently fades dark spots. Paired with Ectoin Repair Serum, this duo enhances cell turnover, encouraging a more even, brighter complexion. 

To Deeply Hydrate

Try: Hyaluron Serum + Face Oil 
For ultimate hydration, layer Hyaluron Serum with Face Oil. This combination draws moisture deep into the skin and keeps it there, ensuring lasting hydration while minimising moisture loss and strengthening the skin barrier for a plump, healthy look. 

To Reduce Redness & Blemishes

Try: Ectoin Repair Serum + Nutrient Serum 
A calm and clear complexion starts with a healthy skin barrier. Ectoin Repair Serum reduces redness, soothes irritation and supports the skin barrier, while the Nutrient Serum promotes cell renewal, helping to keep skin smooth, balanced, and breakout-free. 

To Refine Skin Texture

Try: Vitamin C Complex Serum + Nutrient Serum 
For smoother, more refined skin texture, this combination works wonders. Vitamin C Complex Serum promotes cell turnover, while the Nutrient Serum lifts and rejuvenates, delivering anti-ageing benefits and leaving skin firmer, smoother and visibly refined. 

By layering serums that complement each other, you can customise your skincare routine to address your specific concerns, ensuring your skin stays healthy, radiant, and glowing.
