My picks, three ways

Every product here is one I researched and believe in. Tiers go by price per ounce, compared only within the same category, so a $20 vitamin C can be a Basic while a $20 cleanser is a splurge.

Can I use these together?

Pick two ingredients to see whether they layer well, need different times of day, or should be kept apart.

Layering order
  1. Cleanser
  2. Toner or essence (thinnest, most watery)
  3. Serums and treatments, thinnest to thickest
  4. Eye cream
  5. Moisturizer
  6. Face oil or occlusive (night)
  7. Sunscreen (morning, always last)
