Do you put hyaluronic acid on before or after face oil?
The water-based hyaluronic acid can’t penetrate the oil, meaning it can’t get to your skin to do its job. If you’re putting oils on before your hyaluronic acid, it’s just sitting on top of that barrier. Apply your hyaluronic acid product first, and layer any facial oils (like oil-based moisturizers) on top of that.

Do you put hyaluronic acid on before or after moisturizer?
“It’s important to apply HA before your other serums because it helps to seal in the moisturizer you’ll be putting on top,” confirms board-certified dermatologist Shari Sperling, DO.

Should I put face oil on before or after moisturizer?

Do you apply rosehip oil before or after moisturizer?
Order matters—if you apply rosehip oil before you moisturize, the rosehip oil gets in the way, and the moisturizer won’t 100% absorb into your skin. Always moisturize first (to replenish hydration), and apply rosehip oil after (to protect hydration).

Ideally, put on the lotion first, then follow with baby oil to act as a shield to hold the moisture in. Personally, I feel like baby oil does best over a moisture product, even water.
