Eye Rescue Serum & Eye Cream: How to Layer Them Correctly

Eye Rescue Serum & Eye Cream: How to Layer Them Correctly

Learn the correct order for layering Eye Rescue Serum under Nourishing Eye Cream, how much to apply, and a simple morning and evening routine for tired eyes.

The correct order: serum first, then cream

When you use both an eye serum and an eye cream, apply the lighter formula first. That means Eye Rescue Serum goes on before Nourishing Eye Cream. This order lets the serum's hydrating ingredients—including hyaluronic acid and caffeine—reach the skin, while the cream's rosehip seed oil and Q10 help seal in moisture and support the skin barrier.

The duo is designed for morning and evening use. In the morning, reach for the serum to refresh and revive tired eyes. In the evening, follow with the cream to protect against early signs of premature ageing while you sleep.

A simple morning and evening eye care routine

Follow these steps to layer the two products correctly. Adjust the amount to what feels comfortable for your skin.

  1. Morning: apply Eye Rescue Serum: Use the cooling rollerball applicator to glide the serum over the eye contour. This delivers an instant burst of hydration to brighten and smooth the eye area.
  2. Morning: let the serum absorb: Wait a moment so the serum can settle before applying anything else.
  3. Evening: apply Nourishing Eye Cream: After cleansing, gently pat a small amount of the cream around the eye area. The formula with rosehip seed oil and Q10 helps strengthen the skin barrier overnight.
  4. Evening: use the serum first if you prefer: You can also use the serum in the evening before the cream. The key is to always apply serum before cream.

How much eye cream should you apply?

The supplied product information does not specify an exact amount for Nourishing Eye Cream. As a general guide, a small pea-sized amount is usually enough for both eyes. Start with less than you think you need and add more only if the skin feels dry. Using too much can feel heavy or take longer to absorb.

For Eye Rescue Serum, the rollerball applicator helps control the amount. One gentle glide under each eye is a good starting point.

What each product in the duo does

  • Eye Rescue Serum & Nourishing Eye Cream: Eye Rescue Serum (10ml) is infused with hyaluronic acid and caffeine and has a cooling rollerball applicator. The rollerball makes it easy to apply a thin layer under the eye before cream, and the ingredients provide hydration and a refreshing effect.

  • Eye Rescue Serum & Nourishing Eye Cream: Nourishing Eye Cream (15ml) is enriched with rosehip seed oil and Q10. These ingredients help strengthen the skin barrier and protect against early signs of premature ageing, making the cream a good evening step after the serum.

Tips for layering eye products without irritation

The skin around your eyes is delicate, so apply both products gently. Use your ring finger or the rollerball applicator to pat or glide—never rub. If you wear contact lenses, insert them before applying eye products to avoid transferring cream to the lens.

If you are new to either product, you may want to introduce one at a time. The supplied information does not include patch-test results or suitability for specific skin types, so if you have known sensitivities, check with a healthcare professional before use.
