Where does this gel fit in a skincare routine and can I layer it with other eye products or actives?

Use the gel on clean, damp skin after your cleanser and any water-based serums (like vitamin C or niacinamide) but before richer eye creams, moisturizers, or facial oils. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture makes it an ideal first layer for the eye area — it delivers hydration without creating a barrier that would block subsequent products. If you already use a retinol or peptide eye treatment at night, apply this gel first to buffer potential dryness, then follow with your treatment. In the morning, it sits well under concealer and sunscreen because it doesn't pill or leave a greasy film. When adding it to a routine that already contains strong actives (retinoids, acids, high-strength vitamin C), introduce it on alternate days for the first week to ensure your skin tolerates the combination. The hyaluronic acid here is a humectant, not an exfoliating or sensitizing ingredient, so conflict risk is low, but the eye contour is thinner than the rest of the face and can react to cumulative irritation.
