How to Layer OLAE Products
We believe in the Korean skin care philosophy (but with our own twist).
The 3 tenents are:
1. One ingredient or serum is not enough for good results.
2. Skin, like a healthy diet , needs diversity.
3. Do not use anything that’s harmful to the skin.
What does it mean?
- You have oily skin (for example) and used Niacinamide serum. It is not enough. Treat your skin with Vit C, exfoliants and oils. It is counterintuitive but oils on oily skin will reduce sebum production.
- You have dry skin (for example). Use Hydration serums with different actives. One day , use Hyaluronic acid/ Polyglutamic acid, another day use Beta Glucan hydrators.. variety is key.
- Do not use anything that can, short or long term, harm you skin. At Olae, we banned them .The choice is yours.

Products synergy.
Sugar exfoliant /Antiaging oil = Strong antiaging
Hydrator serum + any oil = Better hydration
Niacinamide anti spot serum + purifying manuka oil = strong antiacne
Vit C Glow serum + Antiaging oil = strong antioxidant
Beware.
Do not use acid exfoliators more than 3 times a week (1 or 2 best). Sugar exfoliant can we be used even 6 times a week (not an acid).
