Expert Guide to Layering Biossance Skincare Products
Properly layering your skincare products is key to ensuring that they live up to their maximum potential. When products are not layered correctly, skin tends to be dry, uneven, and can end up feeling greasy or sticky. Do it right and your skin will feel plump, hydrated, and supple. Understanding how to layer skincare can be daunting, but with the right guidance, you can ensure your skin reaps all the benefits.
Morning Skincare Layering Guide
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing your face in the morning depends on your skin type and personal preference. Technically, your face isnāt dirty because youāve been sleeping all night. But some people - especially those with oily or combination skin - may prefer an invigorating morning cleanse if theyāre feeling oily or simply craving that refreshing feeling of freshly cleansed skin. We recommend that all skin types use our Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser as a morning face wash. It works into a satisfying lather, digging deep to rid pores of excess sebum while calming the skin using organic aloe vera juice.

Step 2: Tone
You should always apply products from thinnest to thickest. That means liquids first and oils last (with the exception of sunscreen, which should always be applied last). When applied in this order, the products are able to absorb more effectively into the deeper layers of the epidermis. Thicker, heavier products are made of larger molecules and will not penetrate as deeply into the skin, so they should be layered on top to lock the thinner products in. If you have oily or combination skin, we recommend our 2% BHA Pore Minimizing Toner. This alcohol-free toner uses white willowbark extract, a natural beta-hydroxy acid, to gently exfoliate and resurface the skin without stripping it.Ā Meanwhile, sugarcane-derived squalane provides added hydration, helping to strengthen the skinās moisture barrier.
If youāre on the dry or sensitive side, jump into your morning skincare routine with our Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mist. This fast-absorbing hyaluronic acid spray is the ideal morning pick-me-up and lays a solid foundation for radiant, hydrated skin. You can also spritz it throughout the day for refreshing hydration.

Step 3: Eyes
Our eyes are very sensitive, so itās important to apply your eye treatments first and then follow through with your face serum to avoid irritation.
While both of our eye products can be applied morning and night, we particularly love using our 5% Niacinamide Brightening Eye Serum in the AM to revive tired eyes and instantly brighten. The first-of-its-kind roll-on serum targets dark circles and puffiness with a potent combination of 5% niacinamide, vitamin C, and caffeine for immediate and long-term results. The 360Ā° lymphatic roller and applicator glides over skin, delivering a cooling sensation that soothes and refreshes the delicate eye area with one swift motion.
When your eyes need a little extra love in the morning, you can also layer both of our eye products. Apply our eye serum first, then top with our Marine Algae Eye Cream for additional hydration and lift.

Step 4: Treat with Serums
Itās not necessary to use more than one Biossance serum at a time, as all contain powerful active ingredients that work best alone. Instead, we recommend alternating between our Firm and Lift Dual Serum and our Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum.
Suitable for all skin types, our Firm and Lift Dual Serum works to visibly lift areas prone to deep lines. The innovative Hydraliftā¢ Complex reduces visible wrinkles and soothes skin, while Hyaluronic Acid boosts hydration, and Squalane increases the potency of the benefits. The result is an overall sculpted look and your best skin.
Work our Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum into your morning rotation for instant plumping and hydration, plus improvement in skin firmness and elasticity.

Step 5: Moisturize
Follow your targeted treatment by choosing a moisturizer based on your skin type and concerns.
If youāre oily, we recommend our Probiotic Gel Moisturizer. This weightless gel moisturizer quickly absorbs into the skin, providing a smooth, balanced complexion thatās perfectly prepped for any makeup you wish to apply. The probiotic-packed formula soothes, reduces redness, and even minimizes the effects of daytime stressors, making it ideal for morning use.
If youād prefer a creamier product, our Omega Repair Cream is right up your alley. The omega fatty acids inside this luxe, whipped moisturizing cream restore and support the skinās natural moisture barrier, boosting radiance without adding shine.
Both of these moisturizers have also earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptanceā¢, which recognizes product innovations that provide benefits, and improve the quality of life for people with eczema and sensitive skin.
One of the most common questions about layering is when to apply facial oils. The answer: Oils should always be applied last in your layering routine unless youāre topping everything off with sunscreen. Oils lock everything ināthey seal in all the skincare.
Our best-selling Vitamin C Rose Oil gets the skin off to a glowing start in the morning with its hydrating, firming, and radiance-boosting benefits. You can also try mixing a drop of this oil with your foundation to boost glow and give makeup a dewy finish.

Sunscreen is essential. Even if itās raining outside, never leave your house without SPF. This crucial AM product provides the best production when applied as the final layer in your skincare routine before makeup application.

Night Skincare Layering Guide
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Start your nighttime skincare routine with a hydrating double-cleanse. Double cleansing is like sweeping the floor before you mop. The goal is to get rid of the makeup and debris thatās sitting on top of your skin so you can effectively clean whatās underneath.
We recommend starting with our Antioxidant Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup and impurities. This luxurious oil cleanser swiftly and efficiently takes the day off, removing daily dirt and debris and dissolving all traces of makeup. Squalane keeps the skin moisturized, while antioxidants defend against daily stressors. Follow it with Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser to clean out pores and soothe the skin after daytime exposure to UV rays and environmental pollutants.

Step 2: Tone
Your AM essential translates seamlessly into your nighttime routine. Just remember: 2% BHA Pore Minimizing Toner is meant to balance the skinās pH and prepare it to receive skincare. It doesnāt actually clean the skin and is not a substitute for a second cleanse.

Our Marine Algae Eye Cream is all about delivering deep hydration, making it the perfect evening eye treatment for every skin type. It expertly plumps the undereye area, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps to reveal a lifted look come morning.

The lipid and ceramide-rich formula provides deep hydration that plumps, smooths, and sets you up for a healthy-looking, well-moisturized complexion in the AM and all throughout the next day.
At night, aid your skin in its PM repair process with our most restorative repair cream, Ectoin Overnight Rescue. This rich, velvety night cream acts as a veil for your skin and includes ectoin, a powerful anti-stress molecule. It binds moisture to the skin, helping to regulate and repair the skinās moisture barrier while protecting skin cells and enzymes from environmental damage. Meanwhile sleep-promoting magnesium and peptides help calm stress-inducing neurotransmitters to optimize skinās capacity for repair. Youāll awaken to smoother, softer, plump, deeply hydrated and nourished skin thatās less sensitive with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
