It IS my serum. What else do you need/use?

I am using genifique and also SKINN DWP serum. Should this go on first or after hydroshield?

I was under the impression you layer thinnest first. I use some Dr. P serums that are very thin, almost watery and I always put those on first, let them dry and then use my Hydroshield.

If the Skinn serum is a peptide serum, peptides typically are meant to go on first. If the Genifique is more a vitamin C serum, you may want to put that one on first, or alternate putting it on first. At night, you may want to put on the Hydroshield first, since that one contains retinol.

The more steps need to be done, the less likely I am to do them. I try to stick to one serum and if I want more than that, I mix them together before I apply them. They may not work 100% as effectively as they would if I layered them, but if they sit unused on the counter, they are 0% effective.

Is the Skinn DWP serum you use his resurfacing essence? If it is that should go on before anything else. If not do what the other ladies suggested.

You might want to look at the ingrediants and see if you need to use all 3 products on your skin.

Do you use the primer at night to seal in the products?

OP - easy answer is thinnist to thickest. But I cocktail them.

My understanding was to use the hydroshield first as it then enables any other product you use to sink in deeper.

That may be the easiest answer, but again, peptides, since they are the cell communicators, would seem to me, that they should go on first. However, I do not know what ingredients are in everything that OP is using.

Usually peptide serums are the thinnest or watery anyway in order to penetrate as deeply as possible.

If you do not apply by ingredient, then you may not be getting the full benefit (inasmuch as possible) from that ingredient. I should also think that your order of application would be on what skin issue you are addressing, hence any serum or product you are using.

Hopefully, you are not using all those things because someone else said you needed them. But there really is a reason for everything you use.

Dr. D. usually says to use it as the last serum as it'll seal in the products and moisture. I usually use it last, let it set, then any cream. If I'm using something like Alpha Hydrox's AHA Souffle, I'll use it next as it's more of the moisturizer.

I use Hydroshield because it has worked really well for me. This winter I have been mixing it with Dr. Gross' clinical concentrate hydration booster (I have been thinking of replacing that with hyaluronic acid if I can find a cheaper price). Usually, I mix it with Paula's Choice Resist super antioxidant concentrate serum. It appears to be working. I think the magic of peptides has been overrated.

Crisso, you might be surprised to know that there are a lot of natural ingredients that have peptides in them. It is only recently that the synthetics have taken over the skincare world.
