How to Layer Your Serums: Get the Most Out of Your Skincare Routine

How to Layer Your Serums: Get the Most Out of Your Skincare Routine

We got a lot of questions about our serums, especially how to use them with other products. Our treasured trio: Snake, Snail, and Bee Serums all have different benefits, and can be layered together to maximize their benefits for your skin. 


Just like you, your skin has its good days and bad days. Some days you’re dealing with breakouts, while on other days, it’s dry or exposed to harsh weather. And sometimes, you deal with all of the above. This is why having our full line of serums will help you to address different skin concerns. 


Though each serum has their own star ingredients, they share common powerhouse ingredients like Vitamins C, E, and B3, Hyadisine (a super hydrating form of hyaluronic acid), and Sebuless (which controls oil production). Now for the fun part, layering them!


Layering Your Serums

After washing your face with Clean Queen and exfoliating with Powerwash Peel Pads, it’s time for the serums! Your skin is a clean slate and can most efficiently absorb all the goodness the ingredients in the serums offer. 


Bee Serum: Acne Breakouts and Anti-Aging


Bee Serum contains purified bee venom, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, mimics the effects of Botox for a smoother complexion, and boosts blood flow. But it’s not just an anti-aging hero—it also has antimicrobial properties, which makes it a fantastic ally against acne. The addition of Royal Epigen, a peptide inspired by bee’s royal jelly, helps with skin regeneration and evening out skin tone. This makes Bee Serum excellent not only for treating acne but also for minimizing post-acne scarring. You can use Bee Serum when you feel a breakout coming on, especially during hormonal shifts like the days before your period. 


Drop 3-4 pumps of the Bee Serum onto clean hands, and apply all over or target problem areas on your skin. Let it soak in for a couple of minutes before moving onto the next serum. 


Snake Serum: Climate Defense and Antiaging


Snake Serum, with its blend of white and green tea extracts, is another great acne fighter. The antioxidants in these teas reduce irritation and redness, while polyphenols fight off bacteria that cause breakouts.


But Snake Serum doesn’t stop there—it also contains MossCellTec™ No. 1, a peptide derived from moss that helps your skin adapt to rapid changes in the environment, like when the weather suddenly turns cold or hot. This makes it perfect for those days you’re heading into the city or expecting harsh weather. You can use Snake Serum when you need extra protection from pollution, as it helps lock in hydration while keeping acne at bay.


Drop 3-4 pumps of the Snake Serum onto clean hands, and apply all over your skin. Let it soak in for a couple of minutes before moving onto the next serum. 


Snail Serum: Deep Hydration and Anti-Aging


Powered by XEP-018, a biomimetic peptide from venomous marine cone snails, it delivers fast-acting anti-aging benefits—you can see results in as little as two hours! But it’s also packed with nourishing ingredients like snail mucin, which promotes firmness and wrinkle reduction, while Hydraprotectol ensures long-lasting moisture.


You can use Snail Serum as part of your morning and nighttime routine because of its intense hydration and repair properties. It is a great serum to include when you need deep moisture. 


Drop 3-4 pumps of the Snail Serum onto clean hands, and apply over problem areas on your skin. Let it soak in for a couple of minutes before moving onto moisturizer. 


Each of these serums offers something different, allowing you to adjust based on your skin’s needs on any given day. By layering Intoxicated Cosmetics' serums, you can target acne, environmental stress, lack of hydration, and signs of aging without overwhelming your skin.
