How to Layer Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C (And What to Use)
Summary: Yes, you can and should safely layer hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, as they are a perfect pairing. The best product to use is a lightweight hydrating serum or moisturizer, like the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum or Gel Moisturizer, which are designed to boost hydration and layer beautifully.
How to Layer (The Right Way) For the best results in your AM routine, the order matters. Apply Vitamin C first to clean, dry skin. It's the "active" ingredient and needs to penetrate first to be effective. Apply Hyaluronic Acid second. The HA will pull moisture into the skin, helping to hydrate, plump, and buffer against any potential irritation from the vitamin C. The Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic line is ideal for this. The lightweight Serum or fast-absorbing Gel Moisturizer sinks in immediately to hydrate without interfering with your vitamin C, helping to combat dryness and boost your glow.
For the ultimate AM routine, apply your vitamin C serum first, followed by a lightweight, fast-absorbing hyaluronic acid product to lock in moisture and plump the skin.
