Learn the correct pressed serum layering order, when to apply it, and how to adjust for dry skin. A step-by-step botanical serum routine for 2026.
Quick answer
Apply Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum after cleansing and toning but before moisturizer. Press—don’t rub—a few drops into slightly damp skin, then seal with moisturizer. For very dry skin, use it morning and night.
Why this order matters for a pressed serum
Pressed serums are oil-based blends, so they behave differently from water-based serums. Water-based products need to go first because oil can block their absorption. Applying your pressed serum before moisturizer lets the oils sit closer to the skin, while moisturizer locks everything in.
If you reverse the order—moisturizer first, then serum—the oil may struggle to penetrate and can leave a greasy film. The exception is a very rich balm or ointment: use that as the final step, after the serum.
When to apply pressed serum: morning vs. night
For most skin types, pressed serum fits well in the evening routine, when its nourishing oils can work overnight. If your skin feels tight or dry during the day, a thin layer in the morning also works—just give it a minute to absorb before sunscreen or makeup.
If you use active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids, apply them first and wait a few minutes before the pressed serum. Oils can buffer strong actives if layered too quickly.
Step-by-step layering routine
- 1. Cleanse gently: Wash with a mild cleanser and pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp. A common mistake is over-cleansing or using hot water, which can strip skin before the serum goes on. Damp skin helps the serum spread and absorb more evenly.
- 2. Apply water-based treatments first: If you use a toner, essence, or water-based serum, apply it now and let it absorb for 30–60 seconds. Don’t mix oil and water-based products at the same time—they can pill. Wait until water-based layers feel tacky, not wet.
- 3. Press in the pressed serum: Dispense 2–4 drops of Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum into your palms. Press—don’t rub—into face and neck. A common mistake is using too much; start with 2 drops and add more only if skin still feels tight. Pressing avoids dragging skin and helps the oils melt in.
- 4. Seal with moisturizer: Follow with your usual moisturizer to lock in the serum. If you use a rich balm or ointment, apply it as the very last step. Avoid applying moisturizer first—it can block the serum. Moisturizer goes after the serum, never before.
- 5. Finish with SPF in the morning: In the morning, wait 1–2 minutes after moisturizer, then apply sunscreen. Don’t skip SPF—oils can make skin more sensitive to sun. Sunscreen is always the final morning step.
