Skincare - what order?

Help please with layering order! At the moment my morning routine is this - cleanse, snail serum, moisturise, primer, foundation.

Medik8 have 20% off atm and I used and liked their products a few years back so was considering ordering Liquid Peptides but where would this and sunscreen go amongst what I use already. Also plan on adding their Retinal and Sleep Glycolic back into my evening routine hence needing to get disciplined and use sunscreen.

Advice welcome as the application order has me flummoxed - and it’s a heck of a list of products to use before foundation, maybe too many!

Thanks.

The general consensus is to go from thinnest to thickest. I use the Medik8 liquid peptides and apply it first after cleansing, then the C-tetra oil, moisturiser, then SPF last. I don't use a primer so can't comment on what stage that would be but I would guess just before applying foundation.

@Weelegs29 that’s really helpful thank you. So maybe primer after sunscreen? Are you happy with the Peptides? I haven’t used it before but my skin could do with a boost.

I don’t use that brand but I do cleanser, serum,moisturiser, spf in the morning (I use a tinted spf) so would do primer then foundation after. In the evenings I apply peptides after moisturiser.

Yes I really love the liquid peptides and they always come up top in independent reviews so I've not felt the need to try any other brands. I really rate the Medik8 brand in general, I've not been dissapointed with any products I've tried so far!
