Eight excellent products applied in the wrong order will underperform eight products applied thoughtfully.

With a line like Epicutis, where formulas are built to layer onto each other rather than compete, the order isn't a minor detail — it's most of the reason a $250 serum performs the way it does.

The rule that makes layering simple

Thinnest to thickest, always. Water-based mists and treatments go on before oils and creams, and sunscreen always goes last.

This isn't specific to Epicutis, either — the American Academy of Dermatology recommends the same general sequence for any routine: cleanse, treat, moisturize, and finish with sunscreen last.

Morning routine

Epicutis Oil Cleanser — step one, morning and night

Evening routine

Hyvia® Crème — the seal on every evening routine

Where the masks fit in

The Lipid Recovery Mask for Face, the eye version, and the neck & décolleté version aren't daily steps — they're a concentrated version of the Lipid Serum, meant for one to two nights a week when skin needs a faster reset. Use them after cleansing, before your regular serum and crème, and let them sit for the time listed on the packaging before layering anything on top.

Don't skip the body

Skin below the jawline gets the same daily stress and none of the routine. Lipid Body Treatment brings the same lipid technology as the Lipid Serum to the rest of you — apply it after showering, on skin that's still slightly damp.

New to the line?

The Luxury Skincare Set bundles the Lipid Serum and Hyvia® Crème — the treat-and-hydrate core of the routine — and the Cleansing Essentials Set pairs the Oil Cleanser with an enzyme exfoliating powder. Both are a lower-commitment way to learn how your skin responds before building out the full sequence.
