To use Level serum effectively, it's typically applied in the middle of your skincare routine, specifically after using acids.
Integrating a new serum like Level into your routine requires mindful application and patience. Based on recommendations, the key steps and suggested usage are as follows:
Application Placement
Level serum is usually placed in the middle of a routine after acids. This suggests a common order might involve cleansing, toning (if applicable), applying acidic products (like AHAs or BHAs), and then applying the Level serum before moving on to heavier products like moisturizers or oils.
Typical Skincare Routine Steps
Here's a simplified example of where Level serum might fit:
- Cleansing: Remove dirt and makeup.
- Toner (Optional): Prep the skin.
- Acids (e.g., AHA, BHA): Exfoliate or treat specific concerns.
- Level Serum: Apply a few drops gently onto the skin.
- Other Serums (Optional): Address other concerns (if compatible).
- Moisturizer: Hydrate the skin.
- Oil (Optional): Seal in moisture.
- SPF (Morning Only): Protect from sun damage.
(Note: The exact order can vary based on product consistency and specific product instructions, but Level serum is placed after acids).
Suggested Usage Frequency
For optimal results and to allow your skin to adjust, it is suggested to start applying Level serum once a day in the evening. Evening application is often preferred for certain active ingredients or for ease of integrating into a routine without rush.
Once your skin has comfortably adjusted to daily evening use, you can consider gradually increasing to twice a day – incorporating it into both your morning and evening routines. Always observe your skin's reaction when introducing a new product or increasing frequency.
Step-by-Step Guide for Starting
- Cleanse: Wash your face as usual.
- Apply Acids (If Used): Use your acid product according to its instructions and allow it to absorb briefly.
- Apply Level Serum: Dispense a small amount (typically 2-4 drops) onto your fingertips.
- Pat or Gently Massage: Apply the serum to your face, gently patting or massaging until absorbed. Avoid pulling or dragging the skin.
- Follow with Moisturizer: Continue with the rest of your skincare routine.
- Start Slowly: Begin by using it only in the evening, once a day.
- Increase Gradually: If your skin tolerates it well after a week or two, slowly increase to using it both in the morning and evening, twice a day.
By following these steps, you can effectively incorporate Level serum into your skincare regimen according to the recommended usage.
