Learn the correct order to layer The SUPER Hydrator and Resurfacing Compound for optimal hydration and exfoliation without irritation.
Quick answer
Apply the Resurfacing Compound first on clean, dry skin, then follow with The SUPER Hydrator. This sequence lets the active ingredients work without interference and seals in moisture.
Why the order matters
The Resurfacing Compound combines multiple active ingredients to improve texture, pores, and discoloration. Applying a heavy moisturizer first can block these actives from penetrating. The SUPER Hydrator, on the other hand, creates a 3D moisture shield that locks in hydration—but only if it goes on after treatment products.
If you reverse the order, you risk diluting the exfoliating benefits and reducing the hydrator's ability to form an even barrier.
Step-by-step layering guide
- Start with clean, dry skin: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Wait 30 seconds to ensure skin is completely dry before applying any products. Skip toner or any water-based step before the Resurfacing Compound to avoid diluting the actives.
- Apply Resurfacing Compound: Pump 1-2 drops onto fingertips and press evenly over face and neck. Avoid rubbing vigorously. Let it absorb for 60 seconds. Common mistake: using too much product. A pea-sized amount is enough—over-application can cause pilling.
- Follow with The SUPER Hydrator: After the compound has dried, apply a dime-sized amount of The SUPER Hydrator to your face and neck. Gently press in until fully absorbed. Checkpoint: If you feel any tingling after the compound, wait an extra 30 seconds before applying the hydrator.
