Face Moisturizer vs. Serum, What Comes First? Discover the Right Skincare Order

Introduction: Face Moisturizer vs. Serum, What Comes First?

If you’ve ever stood in front of your mirror wondering, “Face Moisturizer vs. Serum, what comes first?”, you’re not alone! In India’s humid, dusty, and pollution-prone climate, getting your skincare order right matters more than you think. Using products in the wrong sequence can block absorption, waste expensive actives, or even cause breakouts.

Let’s break down the correct order and why it’s key to healthy, radiant skin. From serums to moisturizers, we’ll help you build a simple, effective routine, so your skin gets the maximum benefits from every step.

Face Moisturizer vs. Serum, What Comes First? The Science Explained

The golden rule of skincare layering is: apply from thinnest to thickest consistency. That means:

👉 Serum comes first, followed by your moisturizer.

Here’s why:

• Serums contain concentrated actives like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, or Vitamin C. They’re lightweight and designed to deliver powerful ingredients deep into your skin.
• Moisturizers seal in hydration and create a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and shielding skin from external pollutants.

If you apply moisturizer before serum, you create a barrier that can stop the serum from penetrating your skin properly. That means your powerful serums won’t work as effectively and no one wants to waste their skincare investment!

🌙 Pro tip: When using products like the iViCH Mirakel Serum and iViCH Ultra Hydrating Night Repair Cream, apply your Mirakel Serum first to boost glow, then lock it in with the Night Repair Cream for deep overnight nourishment.

Do’s and Don’ts for Using Serum and Moisturizer

✅ Do’s:

• Do apply serum on clean, slightly damp skin for better absorption.
• Do follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the serum’s actives and keep skin hydrated.
• Do use a night repair cream that suits your skin type, like the iViCH Ultra Hydrating Night Repair Cream, for long-lasting moisture while you sleep.
• Do let your serum absorb for 30–60 seconds before layering your moisturizer.

❌ Don’ts:

• Don’t apply thick moisturizer before your serum, it will block the serum’s actives.
• Don’t mix serum and moisturizer in your palm thinking it’ll save time; you’ll dilute the effectiveness of both.
• Don’t skip moisturizer at night thinking serum is enough. Even oily skin needs a proper night repair cream to balance oil production and strengthen the skin barrier.

How to Layer Serum and Moisturizer for Maximum Results

✨ Step 1: Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove dirt and excess oil.
✨ Step 2: Apply a few drops of your serum (like iViCH Mirakel Serum) gently, patting it into the skin.
✨ Step 3: Once absorbed, follow up with iViCH Ultra Hydrating Night Repair Cream for a deep hydration boost overnight.

Remember, your Night Repair Cream is not just for hydration. It helps with skin repair, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and keeps skin plump while you rest. Applying it correctly ensures your skin drinks in all the benefits without interference from external pollutants or drying air.
