Use them like a chemist
The
layering
guide.
Cleanse, mist, serums, cream. The order matters less than most brands pretend — every AULA formula is compatibility-tested — but there's still a smart way to build a stack. Here's how a chemist would do it.
The order
Six steps.
Step 1
Cloud Cleanser
Start clean. A pH-balanced cleanse that strips nothing.
Step 2
Hydra Boost Essence
Mist damp skin to prime it for actives.
Step 3
HA Hydrate
The hydration anchor — goes in every stack.
Step 4
Targeted serums
Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Peptide or Exosome.
Step 5
Barrier Repair Cream
Seal everything in.
Step 6
SPF (AM)
Always finish daytime with sun protection.
Do
The do's
- Apply thinnest to thickest — watery serums first, cream last.
- Leave skin slightly damp before HA Hydrate so it has water to bind.
- Wait 30–60 seconds between active serums to let each absorb.
- Save Vitamin C for the AM and pair it with SPF.
Don't
The don'ts
- Don't pile on more than four serums in one sitting — your skin can't use it.
- Don't layer over wet, dripping skin; pat to damp first.
- Don't introduce three new actives at once — add one at a time.
- Don't skip the barrier cream on a high-active night.
