Quick answer

Apply Vita C Eye Cream first, then Vita C Day Cream with SPF. The eye cream's lightweight formula absorbs quickly around the delicate eye area, while the day cream's sunscreen and moisturizing layer should go on top to protect your whole face.

Why layering order matters for vitamin C products

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that boosts collagen and brightens skin, but how you layer it affects how well it works. The Vita C Eye Cream targets the eye area with a concentrated blend to reduce dark circles and signs of aging, while the Vita C Day Cream adds SPF protection and hydration for your entire face. Putting them in the wrong order can dilute the eye cream's effect or reduce the sunscreen's coverage.

The trade-off between targeted treatment and all-over protection

The eye cream is designed for a smaller, more delicate area and uses a lighter texture so it can sink in without interfering with makeup or other products. The day cream, on the other hand, contains natural sunscreen (similar to SPF 15) and castor oil for broader hydration. If you apply the day cream first, the eye cream may not penetrate as well, and you risk missing the eye area with SPF protection.

How to layer Vita C Eye Cream and Day Cream

  • Step 1: Vita C Eye Cream: After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount of Vita C Eye Cream around the orbital bone. Gently tap with your ring finger until absorbed.
  • Step 2: Vita C Day Cream with SPF: Once the eye cream has dried (about 30 seconds), apply Vita C Day Cream to your face and neck. Use enough to cover all exposed areas for proper SPF protection. If you use a separate sunscreen, apply it after the day cream.
  • Trade-off to consider: The day cream's SPF 15 is suitable for incidental sun exposure, but if you need higher protection or will be outdoors for long, add a dedicated sunscreen after the day cream. Always check your sun exposure needs before relying solely on SPF in a moisturizer.
