Quick Answer

Apply the ABC Glow Whipped Serum after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer and sunscreen. Its whipped texture absorbs quickly, so you can layer it without waiting long between steps.

Why Layering Order Matters for a Whipped Serum

Whipped serums have a light, airy consistency that sinks in fast, but placing them too early or late can reduce their brightening effect. If you apply a thick cream before the serum, the active ingredients won't reach your skin. If you apply the serum after an oil-based product, it may slide off instead of absorbing. The correct order ensures the glow-enhancing ingredients work as intended.

Step-by-Step Routine for a Radiant Base

  1. Step 1: Cleanse and tone: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, then apply your usual toner. Wait until the toner is almost dry before moving on. Applying serum on damp skin can dilute the formula; let toner dry to about 80%.
  2. Step 2: Dispense and warm the serum: Pump 1–2 drops of ABC Glow Whipped Serum onto your fingertips. Rub your fingers together briefly to warm the product — this helps the whipped texture spread evenly. Common mistake: using too much. One pump is enough for the whole face; extra drops tend to pill.
  3. Step 3: Press, don't rub: Gently press the serum into your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin using your palms. Avoid rubbing in circles; pressing encourages absorption without disturbing the whipped consistency. Rubbing can cause the serum to foam and leave a white cast. Pressing keeps it clear.
  4. Step 4: Wait 30 seconds: Let the serum sit for about 30 seconds. The skin should feel slightly hydrated but not sticky. If it feels tacky, you may have applied too much; blot gently with a tissue. Checkpoint: the serum is ready for the next layer when it no longer feels wet to the touch.
  5. Step 5: Layer moisturizer and sunscreen: Apply your regular moisturizer, then finish with sunscreen if it's daytime. Because the whipped serum absorbs quickly, your moisturizer will glide on without pilling. For a radiant base, choose a lightweight moisturizer; heavy creams can break down the serum's glow effect.
