The order of using essences together: which ingredient in essence is the most hydrating

The usage of essence is very simple and it is usually used after toner. What is the order for using serums in combination? Which ingredient in serum is the most hydrating?

The order of using serums

Principle 1: Apply the one with lower viscosity first: When using multiple bottles of essence, you can determine the order of use based on the oil content and stickiness of the different essences. Generally, the one with lower viscosity should be used first. This will ensure that the essences used first and last are absorbed by the skin and the essence used later will not be blocked.

Principle 2: Apply the one with higher water content first: When using multiple essences, you should use the one with higher water content first. You can compare the water-to-oil ratio of different essences and use the one that is more hydrating. Because essences with high water content are more skin-friendly, they are absorbed faster. And when the skin is moisturized, it absorbs other nutrients more quickly.

Principle 3: Apply the essence that can penetrate deep into the skin first: When using, you should first use the essence that can quickly penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin. This type of essence is easier to reach the deep layer, so the absorption effect is more guaranteed. Large-molecule, difficult-to-absorb essences can be absorbed by deep skin cells with the help of opened absorption channels.

What ingredient in essence is the most hydrating?

Glycerin is one of the most common moisturizers, which can form a "water film" on the surface of our skin. If the skin is low on moisture, the moisturizer will release the moisture; if the skin is already well hydrated, it will not absorb any more moisture. This not only moisturizes effectively, but also makes the skin feel more comfortable. Because the skin's natural moisturizing system has been "attacked", the number of natural moisturizing factors is insufficient, and it is unable to transport moisture from the dermis to the epidermis, resulting in skin dehydration, dryness and flaking. At this time, you can use essence containing glycerin to "save" our dry skin.
