So what is the perfect skincare routine order? Click through each step to learn everything you need to know about how to most effectively use your products.

Applying your skincare products in the correct order will ensure they’re working their hardest to give you a more radiant, youthful-looking appearance. As a general rule of thumb, you should always apply your products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest (or from liquids/serums to creams).

A good cleanser removes any dirt or excess oil from your face. It also helps clear your pores, allowing your other skincare products to penetrate deeper and boost moisture in your skin for a brighter appearance.

How to Use:

Use your fingers to gently massage your cleanser onto dampened skin for at least 60 seconds. Rinse with water and pat dry with a clean towel.

We recommend:

Gentle Glow Nourishing Cleanser
Cleanse Steps

Avoid cleanse containing:

  • Mineral oil
  • Parabens
  • Sodium lauryl sulfate

City Beauty insider tip:

Remember, even if you don't wear makeup, you should still cleanse your face daily to remove any excess oil or dirt from your skin.

A gentle exfoliator will help clear away dead skin cells and reduce the look of dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles. This will leave you with a firmer, brighter appearance.

How to Use:

Morning or night, apply a dime-sized amount to clean, dry skin. Use at least 2-3 times a week for maximum results. If using during the day, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

We recommend:

Dermal Reset Exfoliating Concentrate

Avoid exfoliate containing:

  • Fruit pits or seeds
  • Walnuts
  • Phthalates

City Beauty insider tip:

Dermal Reset Exfoliating Concentrate contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are very powerful. To build up your skin's tolerance, start by using this formula 1-2 times a week, adding a day each week.

LED red light therapy helps rejuvenate your skin by working in synergy with your skincare actives to boost collagen, even tone, improve firmness, and diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a radiant, youthful appearance.

How to Use:

Place the mask on clean, dry skin and secure with straps. Press the power button and relax for 10 minutes. Use 3–5 times per week for best results. If using in the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

We recommend:

Light Therapy Face Mask

Avoid light therapy treatment containing:

  • UV light
  • No built-in or provided eye protection
  • Heat-producing bulbs
  • Poor-quality or flimsy materials

City Beauty insider tip:

Red light therapy can enhance skincare absorption, so your serums and creams work even harder afterward. Always start with freshly cleansed skin so the light can penetrate effectively and deliver its full benefits.

*Products not formulated specifically for the eye area should not be used around the eyes (e.g., do not use Advanced Action Sculpting Cream as an eye treatment)."
