General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
emollient
Technically a wax, mimics your skin's sebum, balances oily and dry alike. The oil even oil-prone skin can cheat on.
antioxidant
Vitamin C is one of the most thoroughly researched antioxidants in dermatology. It neutralizes free radicals, inhibits melanin production, and supports collagen synthesis. The challenge is formulation stability — L-ascorbic acid oxidizes easily, and many products degrade before you finish the bottle.
