I always hear Manuela talking about mixing/cocktailing serums and creams.
Is there any of the serums/creams that should not be mixed with each other? I feel like by mixing them, it will take away the effectiveness of the active ingredients. Thanks for any replies.

I doubt Manuela would say its ok to do if it rendered them ineffective.Serums first then creams is the protocol.

I meant putting them together in the palm of your hand (say a few drops of one serum and a few drops of another serum or cream) and them mixing them up together at the same time so they become one.

Yes i understood what you meant..I have been doing this for yrs now.What i meant was mix serums in hand apply then mix creams apply.Dont mix serum with creams...I might do 2 or 3 creams at a time..I add my ceramide serum to my creams because its a creamy serum.

I understand what you are saying. You're afraid of overly diluting actives. I think Manuela mentioned one time she would limit mixing serums to five serums. If you are concerned, you could limit your mixing to two or three, and then layer. Supposedly, her serums are potent, and hence hold up to mixing.
In was in the house today (snowing out) and put on retinol serums (not Isomers) let them sink in for about a 1/2 and then put on Isomers ARC serum. When I'm rushing out the house for work, I don't have time to do that.
I would let the serums sink in first before putting on any creams, as they are more diluted in strength.
I have not heard Manuela ever caution about not mixing her products. I have heard people warning not to mix copper and C.

Well, with the TTV Six-Piece Intense Age Renewal System kit yesterday, Manuela was demonstrating mixing the serum and cream together before applying to the skin. She put two drops of the Glutathiosome serum and two pumps of the Re-Densify cream in the palm of her hand and rubbed her palms together to mix, then applied to the skin. She said you can do the same thing with the other serum and cream in the kit that is used in the evening.
