When it comes to achieving that healthy, radiant glow, serum stacking is the skincare secret you need to know. This technique allows you to layer multiple serums, each targeting specific skin concerns, to amplify your skincare results.

With Raww's powerful range of superfood infused oils and serums, you can create a personalised routine that caters to your skin's unique needs, all while using natural, clean, cruelty-free ingredients.

Let’s dive into the basics of serum stacking, how to do it right, and which Raww products suit your skin type.

What Is Serum Stacking?

Serum stacking refers to applying multiple serums in layers, each addressing a different skincare concern. Unlike creams or lotions, serums are lightweight and absorb quickly, allowing you to stack them without overwhelming the skin. The key to effective serum stacking is choosing complementary serums and applying them in the correct order to ensure maximum absorption and efficacy.

How to Stack Serums the Right Way

Before you start layering, it’s important to understand how to sequence your serums. Typically, you’ll want to apply the lightest formula first and finish with the heaviest. This allows each serum to penetrate the skin properly.

Follow this basic rule: Lightest to Heaviest and Water-based before Oil-based.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities.
2. Tone your skin to balance the pH level and prep for serum application.
3. Apply your serums (water based before oil based). These are usually lightweight and designed to absorb quickly.
4. Add your moisturiser to nourish and hydrate.
5. Finish with your face oil to lock everything in.

Final Tips for Serum Stacking

• Optimal serum layers: You don’t need to use more than 2-3 serums in one routine. Focus on the concerns that matter most to your skin.
• Allow time between layers: Let each serum fully absorb before applying the next one. This ensures your skin gets the full benefit of each layer.
• Adjust based on your skin’s needs: If your skin feels dry in the winter, add in a hydrating serum. For summer, opt for lighter, water-based serums to avoid feeling greasy.
