“If you’re not seeing the changes you want, the problem may lie in the products you’re using or the order in which you apply them. A successful skincare routine is a careful balance of cleansing, treating, and moisturizing. Skipping steps or using the wrong products can prevent you from achieving your skin goals.” – Danuta Mieloch
Believe it or not, the order in which you apply your skincare products matters. The goal is to apply your products in a way that maximizes their efficacy. This is a general guideline for layering your skincare:
Step 1: Cleansing
A clean canvas is the first step to any great skincare routine. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and impurities allowing the products that follow to penetrate your skin more effectively.
Recommended Face Cleansers
Danucera Cerabalm
A gentle, nourishing cleansing balm that cleanses the skin while maintaining its natural moisture barrier. Its soothing formula melts away makeup and oils without stripping the skin and preparing it for its second cleanse.
Biologique Recherche Lait VIP O2
Ideal for those exposed to harsh, dry climates or pollution. This oxygenating cleanser brightens, calms the skin barrier and allows the skin to breathe better.
MBR Enzyme Cleansing Booster
This powerful enzymatic cleanser removes excess oil and clears congestion, revealing a smooth, purified complexion.
Step 2: Treating
This is where the magic happens! Serums and toners are designed to treat specific concerns like acne, fine lines, pigmentation and more. These products typically have a higher concentration of active ingredients, so applying them after cleansing allows them to work their best.
Recommended Face Toners
Danucera D22 Tonic
A must-have prep-step that leaves the skin smoother, softer and with reduced redness. Packed with natural acids, minerals, and enzymes, it gently exfoliates and unclogs pores, prepping your skin for the next steps in your routine.

Step 3: Moisturize
Moisturizing is key to maintaining your skin’s hydration and protecting its barrier. Moisturizers lock in all the beneficial ingredients from your treatment step and create a protective layer on the skin.

If you’ve been following a skincare routine but aren’t seeing the results you hoped for, the issue may not be your skin—it could be your approach. The key to a successful routine is more than just using the right products; it’s also about using them in the right order to maximize their effectiveness. As Danuta Mieloch wisely advises, ‘A balanced routine of cleansing, treating, and moisturizing is essential for achieving your skin goals.’ By reassessing your regimen, investing in high-quality products, and focusing on the correct application steps, you can transform your routine and finally see the changes you’ve been working toward. Remember, achieving radiant, healthy skin is a journey, not an overnight fix.”
