The Ultimate Guide To Layering Serums

Learn Which Serums Will Work Best For You
Serums Are Tailored to Target Your Skin's Specific Needs

To enhance your daily look and style, you layer your clothing and you layer jewelry…why not layer your serums to enhance your skin texture? Using more than one serum allows you to address a variety of skin concerns.

When to Apply A Serum:

Serums are applied after toner and before your face oil and moisturizer. The texture is lightweight, so it can be easily absorbed. Plus, the ingredients target a particular issue, and a serum can make a visible impact on your complexion. Just think about it… if one serum can transform your skin…imagine what happens when you master the art of layering.  

Vie de Mer Tip: You can have two serum routines: one for the morning and one at night. 

How Many Serums Can You Layer At One Time?

We recommend at most three. If you add more than that, you’re just throwing money away. As a general rule for applying serums, remember that the lightest-textured serums go first and the thickest-textured serums go last.

Serum Treatment For Dry Skin: Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Vitamin C Serum

Serum 1 (After Cleansing & Toning) - Apply Vie de Mer Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Plumper Serum 

This is a serum you should always be using. A must-have in any skincare routine. 

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

We all have Hyaluronic Acid in our skin–it’s what locks in moisture. As we age (and depending on our environment/lifestyle) our skin loses Hyaluronic Acid each year. Applying a Hyaluronic Acid serum keeps the moisture and “plump” in our skin by rejuvenating, resurfacing 1,000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin.

Highlighted Active Ingredient: Vie de Mer Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains 20% concentrated Hyaluronic Acid, making it 10 times more effective than leading brands (most serums only contain 2% concentrated Hyaluronic Acid). 

Ideal for all skin care routines (dry, normal, oily, sensitive) that may suffer from dehydration.

Serum 2 - Follow With Vitamin C Serum

Some people apply Vitamin C at Night, there is no problem with that, but we do recommend applying this serum in the morning after hyaluronic acid serum because the sun does not like vitamin C and once the sun rays hit the skin with vitamin C, it reflects back. This advanced Vitamin C Brightening Serum restores radiance and vitality to lackluster skin. 

Highlighted Active Ingredient:  Vie de Mer Vitamin C Serum also boosts collagen production and helps combat and repair free-radical damage without irritating your skin. It addresses lack of radiance by working to improve the texture of skin and diminishing the appearance of dark and uneven spots. 

Vie de Mer Tip: Vitamin C Serum should only be used during your daytime skincare routine.
