Morning Routine Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct order for a morning skincare routine?

Cleanser, antioxidant serum, eye cream, moisturizer, then sunscreen. Sunscreen always goes on last, before makeup.

Do I need sunscreen if my moisturizer has SPF?

A moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher can be enough for everyday use if you apply a generous amount. For extended time outdoors, use a dedicated sunscreen and reapply as directed. For the evening, see our PM routine.
