Serum, Cleanser or Moisturizer: What Should You Buy First?

Quick Answer: If you are starting skincare for the first time, buy a cleanser first, then add a moisturizer. Serum can be added later when you want to focus on a specific skincare routine step. Ayzel Couture offers cleansers, serums, moisturizers and beauty essentials through Beauty New Arrivals, K-Beauty, COSRX, Anua and more.

Why Start with a Cleanser?

A cleanser is usually the best first product because it prepares your skin for the rest of your routine. It helps remove daily buildup and gives you a clean base before applying moisturizer, serum or sunscreen.

If you are new to skincare, you can explore cleansers from COSRX, Anua, Medicube, Skin1004 and the main K-Beauty collection.

When Should You Buy a Moisturizer?

Moisturizer is the next important step after cleanser. It supports daily hydration and helps complete a simple skincare routine. For many people, cleanser and moisturizer are enough to begin with.

You can explore moisturizers, creams and hydration-focused products through Beauty of Joseon, Celimax, Dr. Althea, Medicube and Beauty New Arrivals.

When Should You Add Serum?

Serum can be added when you already have a basic routine. It is usually selected for a specific routine preference, such as glow care, hydration, barrier support or targeted skincare steps.

For serums, browse Anua, COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Axis-Y, Skin1004 and Medicube.

Best Order for Beginners

A beginner skincare routine can follow this order: cleanser first, moisturizer second and sunscreen in the morning. Serum can be added between cleanser and moisturizer when needed.
