With so much focus on finding the right skincare products for your skincare concerns, it can be easy to forget the order in which you apply these products is also important. Which products or ingredients work best together? When should you apply sunscreen? Our step-by-step approach equips you with the key principles to help you find the best order for your skincare routine.
The best skincare products are designed to help your skin reach its full potential. Beyond the products themselves, it’s important to also consider the order you apply them. For instance, some products need direct skin contact for absorption, while others still work well when applied at the end of your routine.[1]
Why not just use less products? Research shows that a more comprehensive skincare routine which includes a cleanser, toner, eye cream, serum, day cream, and night cream promotes healthier-looking skin compared to a routine with only a cleanser and day cream.[2]
Considering your skincare routine order, can help you to achieve soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin.
There are three key principles for ordering your skincare routine. Firstly, always cleanse as the initial step. Secondly, apply lighter skincare products – like serums – before thicker products.[1] Finally, consistency is key. Studies show that a consistent routine can help improve some skin concerns, such as dry skin.[3]
To ease yourself into a skincare routine, it’s best to try a few products before settling into a routine. You may see some immediate benefits from a new product, but sometimes skincare products take time to work. Once you have introduced a product, you should wait at least 28 days to see the potential benefit.[4]
Your morning routine is designed to get your skin through the day. It should include products that can protect your skin from environmental factors such as pollution or sun damage, as well as helping to address your unique skin needs.
Cleansing in the morning removes impurities from the night and prepares your skin for all the skincare goodness you’re about to apply.
Consider your skin requirements when choosing your cleanser. If dry or sensitive skin is a concern, use a creamy cleanser such as Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser, which removes impurities while maintaining hydration. If you have oily skin, then Cetaphil’s Pro Oil Control Foam Wash can remove excess oil without over-drying or stripping your skin.
Serums are a secret weapon for your skincare routine. They’re packed full of concentrated ingredients, so a little goes a long way.
You should apply serums directly to cleansed skin for best results. Serums need direct access to skin for absorption, unlike thicker products like moisturizers which have greater penetrating ability.
If you’re concerned about skin brightness, you might want to consider a serum that contains vitamins and antioxidants, like Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Antioxidant-C Serum.
Whether it's the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, or puffiness, the skin under your eyes needs special attention. That’s where eye creams come in. These should be applied directly after serums, as they are also concentrated to target a key concern.
Use Cetaphil’s Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream to brighten and smooth the delicate skin under your eyes. With this gel-cream formula, your eyes will be left looking refreshed for that well-rested look.
Moisturizing is essential. Moisturizing boosts skin resilience and helps support the skin barrier, helping to prevent dryness.
Moisturizers are the penultimate skincare routine step in the morning. They not only boost hydration but help lock in the benefits of the products applied before them. They can contain SPF but so you may need to apply additional sunscreen as well (see step 5).
If you have dry or sensitive skin, Cetaphil’s Optimal Hydration Healthy Daily Cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid to leave you with a healthy-looking glow. If you have dull, uneven skin, then Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Day Cream with SPF can help brighten your complexion.
Sunscreen is another essential skincare routine step. Using sunscreen daily protects your skin from sun damage more effectively than intermittent use.5 While moisturizers help boost your skin’s ability to protect itself against the environment, sunscreens directly limit the damage from harmful UV rays.
Chemical sunscreens contain UV light blockers in the form of chemicals that soak into the skin to prevent harm from the sun.[6] Mineral sunscreens block harmful UV rays through a physical barrier – they don’t need to be absorbed and sit on top of the skin.[6]
If you’re looking for more protection, Cetaphil’s Sunscreen with SPF 50 contains a higher sun protection factor.
Your bedtime skincare routine should focus on nourishing and protecting your skin from dryness. Products at night can also target your long-term skin goals. So, whether you wish to tackle dehydrated skin or prevent acne breakouts, a bedtime routine can help.
To prepare your skin for sleep, it is crucial to remove impurities accumulated during the day. If you wear makeup, start your night routine with Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser is enhanced with a blend of ingredients that help improve skin resilience while cleaning deeply.
Since bedtime is the best time to tackle specific concerns, choose a serum that has a long-lasting benefit. For example, Cetaphil’s Optimal Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum is both nourishing and replenishing. It’s easy to layer and is absorbed instantly.
Cetaphil eye creams are long-lasting, often working for 24 hours or more, so you may not need to use the same one twice a day. However, you could use an eye cream in the morning to help your eyes look bright and fresh, and your night eye cream could target dryness.
Cetaphil’s Deep Hydration Refreshing Eye Serum can be used at night to tackle the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, allowing you to wake up looking refreshed.
It’s beneficial to use a moisturizer as the last layer at night to lock in moisture.
To boost hydration, consider using Cetaphil’s Optimal Hydration Night Cream, which works to tackle dryness throughout the night, leaving you with refreshed skin in the morning. You could also try Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Renewing Cream, which works to decrease the appearance of dark spots.
Your skin is unique – that’s why it is essential to learn what works for you. Once you know what order you should apply your skincare you can adapt your products. You should explore products for any specific skin concerns you may have, such as acne-prone skin or rough and bumpy skin.
There are other products you can include in your skincare routine, such as face masks. These don’t need to be used daily, but you can use Cetaphil’s Derma Control Purifying Clay Mask up to three times a week. You can use a face mask in between your morning and bedtime skincare routine.
Use Cetaphil’s Skincare Finder to discover how to personalize your routine for your skin type.
Some studies suggest that using the same product daily can sometimes lead to a plateau effect (where products stop working so effectively).7 If you think this has happened to you, you can try rotating your routine, also called skin cycling. This is where you switch one product for another for a short time and then switch back again. Then you repeat the process. Another benefit of rotating your skincare routine is that it allows you to try out different products.
Other ways to rotate your skincare routine include using different serums every other day. If your skincare concerns include brightness and maintaining hydration, then you could use Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Antioxidant- C Serum one day and Cetaphil’s Optimal Hydration Serum the next.
Another way would be to use stronger products and milder products on alternative days, i.e., alternating Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser with a more exfoliating cleanser such as Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Gentle Renewing Cleanser.
A comprehensive daytime and bedtime skincare routine is the best way to look after your skin in the long term, but it’s important to get the order of your skincare routine right.
Once you know what order to apply skincare products, be consistent! Using your products every day, and maybe occasionally rotating them, can help your skin reach its full potential.
Everyday soaps can be harsh and irritating, so choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type. Look for one that maintains your skin’s normal pH balance and doesn’t damage its natural protective barrier. All Cetaphil cleansers are clinically shown to maintain your skin’s pH and natural moisture, making them ideal for sensitive skin. If you have oily skin, look for a cleanser specially designed not to clog pores (non-comedogenic) and that regulates sebum/oil, like Cetaphil Pro Oil Control Foam Wash.
Limit cleansing your face to twice a day (in the mornings and evenings) and, after cleansing, be sure to pat the skin dry. Avoid rubbing your face with your towel to ensure you don’t cause irritation.

Be sure to choose a product with broad spectrum UV protection to protect you from both UVA rays (that cause aging) and UVB rays (that cause sunburn)(2). And remember, while water resistance helps ensure that your sunscreen doesn’t wash (or sweat) off, extended exposure to the sun requires a second helping of sunscreen.

Winter can take a toll on your skin, whether oily, dry, or sensitive. Cold air, indoor heating, and biting winds lead to dryness, dullness, and irritation. It's essential to adjust your skincare routine for the season to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

In severe cases, this can cause cracking or peeling, which can be painful and difficult to manage.
Another common issue during the colder months is increased skin sensitivity. You may notice that your skin reacts more easily to environmental triggers, becoming red, inflamed, or even developing rashes. Those with sensitive skin are at greater risk of these issues. Hence, choosing products that offer a protective layer without irritating is essential.
This is where Cetaphil comes in. Known for its gentle yet effective formulas, Cetaphil's range is designed to provide deep hydration without irritation. Whether dealing with dryness or sensitivity, their cleansers and moisturizers restore your skin’s moisture barrier, leaving it soft and healthy even in the harshest winter conditions.

In winter, it's important to switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Cleansing is still necessary to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, but harsh cleansers can do more harm than good during colder months.
Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle formula cleanses without stripping moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and balanced.
Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells, which can accumulate faster in the winter. However, over-exfoliation can worsen dryness and irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Stick to exfoliating once or twice a week with a mild scrub or an exfoliant with ingredients like lactic acid or salicylic acid.
For sensitive skin, opt for a gentle exfoliator like Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, which sloughs off dead skin cells without causing irritation.
Toners help to hydrate and prepare your skin for the next steps in your routine. In winter, choose toners that contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients lock in moisture and help restore your skin’s natural hydration levels.
Avoid toners with alcohol, which can be drying. Instead, go for a gentle hydrating toner to keep your skin soft and comfortable.
Serums are concentrated products that target specific skin concerns. For winter, a hydrating serum like Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Serum provides long-lasting moisture for up to 48 hours. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and glycerin, this serum hydrates the skin and enhances moisture retention, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and smooth.
If your skin is particularly dry or sensitive, use serums that are fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, like those from Cetaphil’s product range. These serums are designed to lock in hydration without causing irritation.
Moisturizing is perhaps the most critical step in any winter skincare routine. Even if you have oily skin, skipping moisturizer can make your skin produce even more oil to compensate for the dryness. Use a rich but non-greasy moisturizer that suits your skin type.
Cetaphil’s Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion offers intense hydration for sensitive skin, clinically proven to nourish and protect for 48 hours. The Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Cream offers deep hydration and relief from irritation, tightness, and roughness for those with extremely dry skin.
Many people tend to skip sunscreen during the winter months, but UV rays are still present. Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV rays, making it just as important to wear sunscreen in winter as in summer. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to protect your skin.
Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Brightening Day Protection Cream SPF15 offers sun protection and hydration in one step, making it a convenient choice.
Adding a hydrating face mask or oil into your routine once or twice a week can give your skin the extra boost it needs. Look for products with natural oils like jojoba or almond oil or hydrating ingredients like glycerin.
Cetaphil’s products are often recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin, ensuring you can pamper your skin without worrying about irritation.

Another benefit of rotating your skincare routine is that it allows you to try out different products.
Other ways to rotate your skincare routine include using different serums every other day. If your skincare concerns include brightness and maintaining hydration, then you could use Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Antioxidant- C Serum one day and Cetaphil’s Optimal Hydration Serum the next.
Another way would be to use stronger products and milder products on alternative days, i.e., alternating Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser with a more exfoliating cleanser such as Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Gentle Renewing Cleanser.

During nighttime, your skin becomes more permeable. Meaning, it allows better absorption of skincare products at this time. The night is, therefore, the perfect time to apply hydrating ingredients that can work their magic while you sleep. Over time, it can soothe your skin’s dryness, preventing flakiness and irritation.
Before we get to your ideal dry skin night routine, you need to prepare your skin. This involves cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser to remove the dirt, makeup, and impurities that have accumulated throughout the day. Doing so ensures that your skin is clean and ready to absorb the nourishing ingredients in your skincare products. It also helps to maintain your skin's natural barrier, which is vital to retain moisture and protect your skin against external irritants.
Remember to use a cleanser formulated for dry skin and avoid over-cleansing as it can further dehydrate and irritate your skin. If you are not sure which skincare products will work best for your dry skin, try out the Cetaphil AI Skin Analysis Tool. It will help you understand your skin better and pick products with ingredients that are good for your skin.

Here is a step-by-step guide to the best dry skin night routine that you can adopt to get healthy and hydrated skin.
If you have dry skin, it is crucial to use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. For this, avoid foaming cleansers and instead, opt for products that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides. These components help maintain the moisture levels in your skin while the cleansing agents effectively remove any impurities and dead skin cells.
After cleansing, use a hydrating toner to soothe your skin and keep your skin balanced. Look for products with ingredients like rose water, aloe vera, and chamomile that calm irritation and impart your skin with an added layer of hydration. A good toner restores the natural pH of your skin and prepares it for better absorption of serums and moisturizers, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the overall regimen.
Serums are packed with concentrated active ingredients that target specific skin concerns. To address your dry skin, look for ingredients that offer deep hydration, like hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E, or peptides. These compounds penetrate deep into your skin and provide essential nutrients and moisture that help to plump and hydrate it. This step of the skincare regimen ensures that your skin receives a potent dose of hydration, setting the stage for your moisturiser to lock it in.
The final step in your dry skin night routine is to lock in all the hydration with a rich night cream or sleeping mask. These products create a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the night. You can look for creams with ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, and oils like jojoba or argan oil. These are rich and nourishing ingredients that ensure your skin remains soft, supple, and well-hydrated by morning.
Overnight masks and facial oils can provide intensive hydration and nourishment for your dry skin. These commodities are designed to deliver active ingredients deeply into your skin while you sleep, thus addressing specific concerns like dryness, dullness, and fine lines. Incorporating an overnight mask or facial oil into your routine a few times a week can, therefore, enhance your overall skincare regimen. These products boost your skin's hydration levels and ensure you wake up with a radiant, refreshed complexion.
The most notable benefits of overnight masks and oils for dry skin include:
●\tDeep Hydration: Masks and oils penetrate deeply, providing intense moisture.
●\tBarrier Repair: They help to repair and strengthen the skin's barrier.
●\tSkin Renewal: Active ingredients work overnight to rejuvenate and renew the skin.

●\tSkipping Moisturiser: Always apply a moisturiser to seal in hydration. Skipping this step can lead to moisture loss and increased dryness.
●\tOver-exfoliating: This can damage the skin barrier and increase dryness. Stick to gentle exfoliation once or twice a week.
●\tNot Using a Humidifier: If your environment is dry, using a humidifier can help maintain moisture in the air and prevent your skin from drying out.
●\tIgnoring Patch Tests: Always patch test new products to ensure they don't irritate your skin. This is especially important for sensitive, dry skin.

To fix dry skin on your face overnight, you can use a hydrating cleanser, apply a rich serum, followed by a moisturiser, and consider using an overnight mask or facial oil.

The best routine for dry skin involves using gentle, hydrating products. Start with a gentle cleanser, followed by a hydrating toner, a nourishing serum, and a rich moisturiser. You can also incorporate overnight masks and facial oils into your regimen about twice a week. This offers added hydration and addresses your specific skin concerns.
To avoid waking up with dry, flaky skin, ensure that you have a night skincare routine suitable for dry skin. You can use a rich night cream or sleeping mask that locks in moisture. Using a humidifier in your room can also help maintain air moisture levels, preventing your skin from drying out. Additionally, drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Yes, people with dry skin can use retinol. However, it should be introduced gradually and always followed by a rich moisturizer to prevent dryness and irritation. Start with a lower concentration and increase the dose as your skin adapts to this ingredient. Retinol can help you with skin renewal and improve its overall texture, making it a beneficial addition to your routine.
While you can skip toner, using a hydrating toner can enhance your night routine by soothing and preparing your skin for better absorption of serums and moisturisers. Toners with hydrating and calming ingredients are particularly beneficial for dry skin as they add an extra layer of moisture and help balance your skin's pH levels.

However, washing your face with water alone simply isn’t sufficient to remove the build-up of dead skin cells, oil, make-up, or other bacteria, which can lead to skin becoming dehydrated, greasy, or blocking pores.

Water alone is not sufficient to remove dirt, make-up, and other impurities. Therefore, washing your face with only water does not provide very many benefits. In addition, the pH levels in water can be damaging to the skin; the average pH level of water is a 7. The optimal pH value for the skin on the face and body lies between 4.7 and 5.75. A pH of 7 (that of pure water) is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and above is alkaline, so, skin’s natural pH is mildly acidic. This mildly acidic pH is created by the skin's acid mantle, the water element of the hydrolipid film that protects the external layers of skin.
Consequently, it’s crucial to find an appropriate skin cleanser that works to re-balance your skin’s ideal pH level. Understanding the type of skin you have and its demands is crucial, as is establishing a routine to take care of your skin. Choosing a cleanser and moisturizer suited for daily use, products that are not too harsh or intense is very important.
Cetaphil’s cleansers and moisturizers are designed for daily use and contain beneficial ingredients that are easily tolerated by both sensitive and combination to oily skin types. Products such as Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser and Daily Oil Free Facial Moisturizer SPF 35 can be used on a daily basis and contain ingredients that are tolerated by combination to oily skin types.
Using these products is the best way to promote healthy-looking skin and begin a skincare regime that works. It’s also important to remember that washing your face with water only, if you have oily skin, is not necessarily the best way forward, it’s always better to establish both a skincare schedule and routine.
