If you've ever stood in front of your skincare shelf wondering which goes first—serum or moisturizer? SPF or oil?—you’re not alone. With so many active, high-performance products in your arsenal, knowing how to layer them is key to getting the most out of every single drop.

At MyCHELLE, we understand that skincare isn't just self-care—it's a science. Especially for women like you who are ingredient-conscious, results-driven, and loyal to what works. Here’s how to layer your skincare correctly so your skin stays youthful, radiant, and protected—without irritation or waste.

Step 1: Cleanse with Intention

Start with a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin barrier.

Try: MyCHELLE Refining Sugar Cleanser – A dual-action formula that gently exfoliates while nourishing with natural oils. Perfect for morning and evening use to prep skin without over-drying.

Step 2: Apply a Targeted Serum (or Two)

This is where the magic happens. Serums are your power players—packed with actives that address concerns like fine lines, uneven tone, or dryness.

Try:
  •  Perfect C Pro Serum (25% Vitamin C) in the morning for antioxidant protection and brightening.
  •  Remarkable Retinal Serum at night to encourage cell turnover and soften the look of fine lines without harsh chemicals.

Pro tip: Always apply serums to damp skin for better absorption.

Step 3: Lock It In with Moisturizer

Moisturizers seal in the active ingredients and strengthen your skin barrier—crucial for sensitive or mature skin.

Try: Supreme Polypeptide Cream – A deeply hydrating formula combining Matrixyl and Proteasyl Peptides to improve skin firmness and texture over time. Lightweight enough for day, rich enough for night.

Step 4: SPF is Non-Negotiable (Yes, Even Indoors)

Sun damage is the #1 cause of premature aging, so SPF should be your skincare finale every single morning.

Try: Sun Shield Liquid SPF 30  – Mineral-based, lightweight, and reef-safe. It’s the ultimate “no bad stuff” sunscreen that blends seamlessly without leaving a white cast.
We know you never skimp on sun protection, and this product was made with your skin’s needs in mind.

Extra Tips from the Skincare Pros:

  •   Thinnest to Thickest is the golden rule. Let each product absorb fully before applying the next.
  •  Skip the scent. If your skin is sensitive, go for fragrance-free versions.
  •  Night = Repair. Save your most active treatments like retinals and peptides for nighttime.
  •  Listen to your skin. No one knows your skin better than you.
