Learn the correct order to apply NAD+ serum and rosehip oil in your anti-aging routine for maximum absorption and skin benefits.
Quick answer
Apply NAD+ serum first on clean, damp skin to deliver peptides and anti-aging actives, then follow with rosehip oil to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
Why order matters in an anti-aging routine
Serums are water-based and designed to penetrate deep into the skin. Oils are occlusive and sit on top to seal in hydration. Applying oil first would block the serum from absorbing, reducing its anti-aging benefits.
NAD+ and peptide serums work best when they reach the lower layers of skin. Rosehip oil, rich in essential fatty acids, complements this by reinforcing the skin barrier without interfering with the serum's activity.
When to use each product
Use both products in your evening routine for best results. The NAD+ serum supports cellular repair overnight, while rosehip oil prevents moisture loss while you sleep.
If your skin feels tight after cleansing, apply the serum immediately on damp skin to boost absorption. Wait about 60 seconds before moving to the oil step.
Step-by-step layering guide
- Cleanse and pat skin damp: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry until slightly damp. Damp skin helps the serum spread evenly and absorb faster. Avoid waiting until skin is fully dry — damp skin improves serum penetration.
- Apply NAD+ serum: Dispense 2-3 drops of NAD+ Renewal Serum onto your fingertips and press gently into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing. Let it absorb for about 60 seconds. Using too many drops can cause pilling — stick to 2-3 drops for full coverage.
- Seal with rosehip oil: Warm 2-3 drops of rosehip oil between your palms and press lightly over your face. Do not massage vigorously — pressing helps the oil form an even protective layer. Wait until the serum feels tacky but not wet before applying oil, or the oil may dilute the serum.
- Finish with moisturizer (optional): If your skin feels dry after the oil, apply a lightweight moisturizer on top. Oily or combination skin types may skip this step. Rosehip oil alone may not be enough for very dry skin — add moisturizer if needed.
