Sensitive dry skin, Do I use first before moisturizer or last? TIA⚘

I love the Tatcha facial oil. Although not cheap a little goes a long way. I put it on first then moisturizer, I also put it on over the moisturizer if I notice dryness during the day. I really don’t think any wrong way to use. ❤️

I don’t think there is a “wrong” way to use oils, either. But most vendors say to use the oil after the moisturizer if you use one. The idea is that the oil locks in the moisturizer.

I don't think it matters either. Sometimes I even mix a little oil in with my moisturizer and apply it that way.

I use oil before my moisturizer but agree with the others that there isn't a wrong way.

I tried oils both ways - before and after moisturizer - and after works better for me.
I moisturize with a medicated cream, and feel it penetrates serums but not oils. So oils are last for me.
Edited: Meant oils after moisturizer - the last step.

I use it before a moisturizer, but I sometimes mix a few drops in with my moisturizer also. Right now I am using Paula's Choice oils.

I got a sample of a facial oil when buying a moisturizer and the sales person said I could mix it in.
personally not sold on them but the sample is nice

I apply my oils to clean damp skin. Then I apply my moisturizer, serums, and such.

I read that oils should go on last because creams/serum can't penetrate oil so moisturizer should go on clean skin first.
