Can essences be used in combination? What is the order of use?

Essence is also a kind of skin care product, which is familiar to many people. So can this essence be used in combination with other products? How to stack essences and use them in which order?

Can essences be used in combination?

It is best not to use them together, but you still have to choose according to your own skin condition. If your skin is fragile and has poor tolerance. Using essences in combination can easily cause skin problems such as acne.

Generally speaking, multiple essences can be mixed and used. Because no one has only one skin problem, mixing and matching is necessary.

As for the order in which various essences should be used, some people think that large molecule ingredients will affect the absorption of subsequent products, so small molecules should be used first and large molecules later. However, essences are known for their small molecules, and ordinary consumers are unable to determine the size of the molecules. Therefore, depending on the severity of your individual skin problem, the most serious and concerning one should be used first. In this order, moisturizing essence can also be used last, because moisturizing essence relies on gelatin film-forming agents and macromolecular ingredients to play a shrinking role.

If you want the best effect of essence stacking, the ingredients and order are essential.

Generally speaking, the earlier you use the essence, the stronger its effect will be. So if you want whitening the skin the most, put whitening first. If you want to remove wrinkles the most, put wrinkle removal first.

How to stack essences and use them in order

Generally speaking, they are used in the order of small molecules first and large molecules later.

For example, polyols such as glycerin, peptides, butylene glycol, and propylene glycol are small molecules, while various plant essential oils, minerals, vitamins, and moisturizing ingredients such as collagen and hyaluronic acid are large molecules. This also indirectly confirms the principle that moisturizing essence is generally put last if stacked. However, there are exceptions. For example, IPSA's skin beauty essence requires use after self-discipline (lotion and lotion in one), while Cosme Decorte Moisturizing Essence requires use before all skin care products, including lotion. Therefore, we still need to analyze the specific situation. Finally, I would like to remind you that products containing fruit acid cannot be used together with products containing hyaluronic acid, because fruit acid will destroy the molecular structure of hyaluronic acid.

It is better not to use essences in combination. If you must use them in combination, pay attention to the order.
