Using a Serum-Oil Complex: Step-by-Step Skincare Guide

The 3D Collagen Plumping Complex is a next-generation innovation in age-prevention skincare, combining the potency of a high-performance serum with the nourishment of a lightweight facial oil. Formulated with a 7:3 serum-to-oil ratio, this hybrid delivers multi-layered benefits: boosting hydration, supporting elasticity, and reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier.

This guide outlines exactly how to use it, when to apply it, and how to integrate it seamlessly into your routine for transformative results.

Where It Fits in Your Skincare Routine

Morning and Night – Your Final Serum Step. 

To support your skin as it ages, and help plump and firm, with added long-term hydration, use the 3D Collagen Plumping Complex both morning and evening.

This dual-phase serum-oil hybrid should be applied:

• After water-based serums (e.g. hyaluronic acid or niacinamide)
  

• Before heavier facial oils, moisturisers or facial creams

It acts as your final treatment step before sealing everything in, enhancing absorption of the actives applied beforehand and reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier.

Pro Tip: Mix 1–2 drops into your foundation for an instant glow.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

How to Use this Oil-Serum Hybrid for Maximum Efficacy

Step 1: Cleanse and Prep

Begin with a clean, dry face. Use a gentle cleanser that supports your barrier function, followed by any lightweight, water-based serums in your routine. Allow your skin to fully absorb those layers and dry naturally before proceeding.

Step 2: Shake to Activate

The bi-phase formula (serum + oil) must be well mixed before each use. Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds to evenly distribute actives and ensure consistent, effective results.

Step 3: Apply with Intention

Dispense one full dropper and gently press or massage the formula into the face, neck, and décolletage using upward, lifting motions.

Don’t forget under the jawline and along the collarbones — areas often missed but highly receptive to collagen support.

The formula absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and prepped for moisturiser.

Seal in the Results

Once the 3D Collagen Plumping Complex is fully absorbed, continue your routine by applying a lightweight or rich moisturiser, tailored to your skin type. Then:

• In the morning: Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF to protect and preserve collagen.
  

• In the evening: Apply your night cream or overnight treatment to support overnight regeneration.

Layering your moisturiser after this serum-oil hybrid helps trap moisture and enhances the overall effectiveness of your active ingredients.

Expert Tips to Boost Results

Get the Most from Your Collagen Complex

• Layer - don’t mix: Always layer serums directly onto the skin rather than blending in your hands to maintain potency.
  

• Post-treatment booster: Ideal for use after LED, microcurrent, or dermal treatments to support skin repair and hydration.
  

• Glow-enhancing finish: Add a drop into your foundation to soften the appearance of fine lines and deliver a healthy, radiant finish.
  

• Use daily for cumulative benefits: The formula supports long-term collagen maintenance, helping to firm and revitalise skin over time

More than a serum, the 3D Collagen Plumping Complex is a targeted treatment designed to help your skin retain its bounce, structure, and vitality. With consistent use, you’ll notice enhanced hydration, improved texture, and visible firmness.
