Skincare order

Hey lovelies, I have been lucky enough to be selected to join the trilogy sensitive skincare trial team!! There are 6 products and I have never had such a skincare routine before! I am just confused about what order to put the oil and serum products on in? The products are to be used daily or twice daily are a cleansing cream, eye cream, serum, a restoring oil and a moisturiser. I am not sure whether to put the oil on before the serum (after cleansing), or the other way around? Or if I shouldn't be using both at the same time? Both the instructions on the boxes for the oil and serum say to apply after cleansing. The other instructions on the various boxes say to put the eye cream on before moisturising, so I'm just unsure of the order of the oil and serum. Sorry if this is a silly question! Any tips/thoughts would be awesome! Thanks :)

   As a general rule with skincare layering you go from lightest to thicker products. Generally water based products go on before oil based ones, unless it's thick like a moisturizer. I'm guessing the serum is lighter and absorbs quicker than the facial oil so I would apply it first and then layer the oil on afterward. Or if it's too heavy you could use the serum during the day and night but only layer the oil over it at night.

When I got a skincare regime to trial it came with instructions... if it didn't this time, maybe google the range?

I'm lucky enough to be on this trial too, and will be usign the serum by day, and oil by night.

That's what I would do too. It will also make it easier to tell the difference between those two products for reviewing purposes. Congrats on getting on such an awesome trial.

Lucky! Trilogy is awesome. I would use the serum before the moisturizer, and then top the moisturizer with oil (as that's my current skincare order) but the other suggestion of using oil at night is also a good one.

I agree with the above. I always use facial oils as the last step in my routine to seal in the moisture of the previous layers.
For the typical korean beauty routine I follow, it goes 
cleaner>serum>toner>light moisturiser>cream>oil
Although I think you can also use toner before the serum, depending on the type of serum you're using.

Hello!

Check out this really good sensitive skin blog by the Trilogy Team which includes a handy pyramid for the products.

Essentially the serum can be used at any time, to calm sensitive flare ups/irritation.


BUT - we want to know what works for you - so try this way, try how you would instinctively use it before reading this.  Experiment and have fun!

I am eagerly awaiting mine to arrive. I have also been wondering what order to put the products on as this is different to my usual routine. Can't wait to try this range. Thanks for the information ladies.

I haven't used so many products on one day, but I guess, it's better to use oil in the evening in order to mpoisturize your skin at night.

Congrats for the ladies for the lucky trials. Use serum in the morning and oils before going to sleep.
