Learn the correct order to layer Bio-Retinol + C Skin Booster and Vital Glow Vitamin C Cream for maximum brightness and anti-aging benefits without irritation.
Quick answer
Apply Bio-Retinol + C Skin Booster first on clean, damp skin, then follow with Vital Glow Vitamin C Cream. This order lets the booster absorb deeply while the cream seals in hydration and adds a brightening layer.
Why this order works
The Bio-Retinol + C Skin Booster is a lightweight face oil that needs direct contact with skin to deliver its bio-retinol and vitamin C. Applying it first ensures these active ingredients penetrate effectively. The Vital Glow Vitamin C Cream is a richer moisturizer that sits on top, locking in the booster and providing additional hydration and stabilized vitamin C for all-day radiance.
When to use each product
Both products are suitable for daily use, but if you are new to bio-retinol, start with the booster every other night and gradually increase. The vitamin C cream can be used morning and night. Avoid applying the booster around the eyes if you have sensitive skin, and always follow with sunscreen during the day.
Step-by-step layering routine
- Cleanse and pat dry: Start with a clean face. Gently pat skin until slightly damp—this helps the booster spread evenly. Skipping damp skin can reduce absorption; a light mist of toner works too.
- Apply Bio-Retinol + C Skin Booster: Dispense 2-3 drops onto fingertips and press into face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Wait 30 seconds for it to sink in. Using more than 3 drops can make the cream slide off; start small.
- Follow with Vital Glow Vitamin C Cream: Take a pea-sized amount and dot on forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck. Smooth outward and upward until fully absorbed. If you feel tackiness, wait an extra 15 seconds before applying makeup or sunscreen.
