Can this serum be used as a toner? With moisturizer applied on top of it?

I wouldn't use as a toner. The others that have answered use the way I do. I apply on clean skin, let dry, then use a moisturizer on top. I use around my lips for lip lines and on my hands for age spots. It's an amazing product. I love it.

I don't know about using it as a toner, but all I do is cleanse my face, apply the serum and let it set in, then I put on my moisturizer followed by sunscreen!

I don't think it will function quite the same as a toner but you can certainly put moisturizer on top of the serum. I apply the serum after my toner or after washing my face and then apply moisturizer w sunblock on top. It's important to use sunscreen when using products that turn cells over as your skin becomes more photosensitive. This is a great product.

I would not use this as a toner. A toner is supposed to remove any final traces of dirt or cleanser on the skin, making way for the serum to penetrate well. I would wash the skin, use your toner, apply the vitamin c serum, then apply your moisturizer!

Indeed you can!! I need moisture and the Knu serum is not a moisturizer, so you really need it. I will also let you know that a friend of mine, whom I have known for 20 years, asked if I had started using Botox. He didn't believe me when I smiled and said, "Nope." :) True story!!!!!

Not at all. It is just a serum to wear under a moisturizer. And in my opinion it doesn't do anything.

I use the serum AS my moisturizer. And I love it! I could visibly see the reduction of fine lines after only a week--and I use a 5X magnifying mirror for my make-up so I can really see those little buggers...

Yes, you can use this after toner. The purpose of toner is to bring the PH of your skin back up so it can better accept a moisturizer after cleansing. So it's perfect to use after toner. And on the jar it says the PH of this cream is 5.5, which is what your skin is naturally - just one of the reasons this cream is better than most.

Serums are usually used under a moisturizer. This is a moisturizer that can be used alone or over a serum. I personally find, as an older person, that using a serum underneath my moisturizer is better for smoothing my wrinkles.

sure. why not. My skin gets a little dryer just using toner only so I combine other products but it all depends on your skin type.

I used this product as a base for all other moisturizers etc. I cleanse and tone my skin first, apply a layer of cellfood, once dry apply vit C serum and I finish with my moisturizer and sunscreen.

It is optional to use a cream/serum, however, it is never a bad idea to keep the skin moisturized. Before or after treatment.

Yes you can use it. It will work best for you if your skin if it tends to be on the more oily side since this is a gel formula. If your skin tends to be more dry then you might want to consider a creamier moisturizer.

I don't see why not. I used it primarily as a facial moisturizer because I found the green tea helped even my skin out and calm down any redness I might have from breakouts. I found it to leave my face really soft and not greasy at all which is often what other moisturizers do. Hope that helps.

I do not use it for that so I cannot help you. I use it for my face as a moisturizer

I don't know but my guess is "NO", (only a guess) because you would think that the serum would dilute the firming cream. My best suggestion is to ask the company which produces them. I would never dilute a firming cream since you want as much firming as possible, but again, its best to ask the company. Hope this is helpful.

I use a moisturizer on top of hyaluronic acid. For me it works best this way. Hope this helps.

Hi Zain, thanks for your question. It looks like fellow Day by Day Beauty customers have already provided you excellent feedback! Many consider cleansing, toning, and moisturizing as the "basic" or "essential" skin care steps. You do not have to use a toner to get the benefits of Vitamin C Serum. Let us know if you have any more questions, we'd be happy to answer them.

Hi Nancy, I put the serum on before I apply a moisturizer. I believe the serum is supposed to correct the skin, while the moisturizer hydrates. I'm not an esthetician, but I first purchased this product after a facial. I think it makes a difference in evening out my skin tone. I am 35, and I haven't used the other products in the line. But I like this one!

You apply this under the moisturizer. I've been using different serums for many years, and I do like this one.
