New here, have some questions :)

Post by Sabrina » Tue May 18, 2010 6:06 pm

Hello! I'm new here and just recently discovered SN and I am hooked!
So I've tried a few things and I really love the Super Serum, the Vit C serum, the Rose serum, Green Tea serum, and the Firming moisterizer.

My questions are:

1. Are there any that shouldn't be layered together (for example, should I not layer the Super Serum and Vit C serum)?

2. When layering, should certain things be layered first?

3. Is it possible to use "too much"?

4. Is it better to just use 1 or 2 things consistantly, or switch it up? For instance, would I get the most benefits from using the Super Serum exclusively (along with a moisturizer) or is it good to use that in the morning and the Vit C serum at night?


Thanks so much for your help! :)

These are fine to layer together. The only interactions for concern would be Super Serum and the AHA or BHA Toners.
2. When layering, should certain things be layered first?
I would layer what you want to sink in the most first.
3. Is it possible to use "too much"?
Yes. Logically, our skin can only absorb so much. I think layering more than two might be overkill. I know that is not a very exact answer, but I really am not the expert. I layer two without issue. I think the third serum layer will not sink in very well.
4. Is it better to just use 1 or 2 things consistantly, or switch it up? For instance, would I get the most benefits from using the Super Serum exclusively (along with a moisturizer) or is it good to use that in the morning and the Vit C serum at night?
I like to mix it up a little, but there isn't any reason you could not stick with one serum at a time.

Thanks so much for your help! :)
