Between finding an outfit, grabbing a bite to eat, and preparing for the day ahead, it can be difficult to find time for skincare every morning. However, setting aside a few minutes to prioritize skincare can help you achieve glowing, healthy-looking skin. 

Learn more about our complete morning skincare routine below—and learn why you should have a dedicated routine for both morning and night.

Your Morning Skincare Order, Step-By-Step

STEP 1: CLEANSER
Kickstart your day with a clean face. A morning cleanse helps to remove any excess oil, dirt or other impurities from the skin.

Choose a gentle formula like Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée with 15 Amino Acids to wash away impurities from the skin’s surface while leaving it soft, comfortable and balanced.

How to apply: Dampen your skin. Then, massage the cleanser over your entire face using circular motions. Rinse off with warm water.

STEP 2: TREATMENT LOTION
Think of this as “the prep step”. Our revitalizing treatment lotions help optimize your skin’s ability to absorb the rest of the products in your regimen. Choose the right formula for your routine, whether you’re in need of extra hydration, soothing, or a boost of radiance.

If you have normal to dry skin, lock in moisture while soothing and softening the skin with Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment.

If you have normal to oily skin, you’ll love Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Sakura Ferment for balancing and smoothing the look of pores.

How to apply: Smooth a few drops all over your face and neck with your hands or a cotton pad.

STEP 3: SERUM
Morning or night, you should never say no to serum. This essential product gives skin an extra boost of hydration and environmental protection, plus anti-aging benefits.

The good news is, our beloved Advanced Night Repair Serum isn’t just for night. This powerful face serum also provides powerful antioxidant protection, hydration and a boost of radiance that’s essential for your daytime routine.

How to apply: Using one dropper of product, apply the serum all over your face and neck gently. Wait for the serum to fully absorb before moving onto moisturizer.

STEP 4: MOISTURIZER
Keep skin hydrated, supple and firm with an anti-aging moisturizer. Our Revitalizing Supreme+ Moisturizer saturates skin with 72-hour hydration while firming, strengthening and boosting radiance.

How to apply: Apply a quarter-size amount of product all over your face and neck.

STEP 5: EYE CREAM
Don’t forget to pay special attention to the delicate eye area. Target dark circles, puffiness, undereye lines and more with a dedicated eye cream. Add Advanced Night Repair Eye Gel-Creme to your AM routine to hydrate and visibly brighten the eye area while protecting against the visible effects of skin-damaging free radicals.

How to apply: Gently apply a small amount of eye cream all around the eye area.

STEP 6: SPF
Use a high-level sunscreen every morning (rain or shine) to help protect skin from damaging UV rays and prevent early signs of aging. Our Perfectionist Pro UV Gel SPF 50 contains 8 antioxidants to help protect skin from pollution and free radical damage.

How to apply: Be sure to apply sunscreen before you begin your makeup routine. Apply a generous amount to your entire face and gently rub it in until fully absorbed.

Morning vs. Nighttime Skincare—What’s The Difference?

Your morning and nighttime skincare routines should work together to deliver 24-hour glow, vitality and resilience. Since your skin is different from AM to PM, we recommend tweaking your nighttime product lineup with formulas made to optimize your skin while you sleep. 

Here’s how to create a powerful nighttime regimen:

STEP 1: CLEANSER
Give your skin one more cleanse before bed. Pro tip: Give your skin a deeper clean at night and try double cleansing with Advanced Night Cleansing Balm and Gelée.

STEP 2: TREATMENT LOTION
Repeat this step at night to prep your skin for the rest of your routine.

STEP 3: SERUM
Apply another dropper of Advanced Night Repair Serum before bed for deep nightly renewal—and unfiltered radiance when you wake up.

STEP 4: NIGHT CREAM
Here’s where you should start to switch things up a bit. Swap out your daytime moisturizer with a night cream like Revitalizing Supreme+ Bounce Night Moisturizer. This formula, made with our exclusive CollaNight-8™ technology, fights the visible signs of aging while plumping and deeply hydrating skin until morning and beyond.

STEP 5: EYE CREAM
Repeat Advanced Night Repair Eye Gel-Creme in your evening routine for extra eye care benefits.

STEP 6: OVERNIGHT TREATMENT
Your evening skincare routine isn’t complete without a layer of Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment. The cocooning formula plumps skin with quenching moisture, and visibly recharges skin at night. Skin awakens with a radiant, recharged, energized look.
