OLOOK · Routines

Skincare that
works together.

A routine is not about using more products. It is about using the right products in the right order, consistently. This guide makes that simple.

The fundamentals

Why a routine
works.

◎

Consistency compounds

Skincare actives work cumulatively. A simple routine done daily for 12 weeks outperforms a complex one done sporadically.

◑

Products work together

The right combination of products supports each other — humectants and occlusives, actives and barrier support, treatment and protection.

◌

Layering matters

The order in which products are applied significantly affects how well they penetrate and perform. A routine teaches you the right sequence.

✦

Simplicity reduces anxiety

A structured routine removes the daily decision of what to use. Less decision fatigue means more consistent application.

Layering guide

Four rules of
product layering.

Order matters significantly. These four principles apply to every routine, every product type, every skin concern.

01

Thinnest first

Water-based serums before creams and oils. Light textures cannot penetrate through heavy ones.

02

Active before passive

Treatment serums before moisturisers. Moisturiser over serum, not under it.

03

SPF is always last

Applying anything over SPF breaks down its protective film. It must be the final morning step.

04

Allow each layer to settle

30–60 seconds between each product prevents pilling and improves absorption.

Ingredient compatibility

Ingredients that
work together.

Some combinations are more than the sum of their parts. Each routine page explains the synergies specific to that routine.
