In the world of skincare, quality matters but so does quantity. Knowing how much product to apply at each step plays a major role in how effective your routine is. Using too little may make the benefits unnoticeable, while too much can overwhelm the skin and even cause irritation.
If you invest in premium skincare, understanding the ideal amount for each step ensures that every drop delivers maximum impact, both in terms of results and value.

Toggle1. Cleanser
This first step is more than just a routine. It’s the foundation of your entire skincare routine. For optimal results, use about a IDR 100 coin-sized amount to thoroughly cleanse both your face and neck without leaving your skin feeling stripped. Choose a formula that suits your skin type, whether it’s a gel, cream, or balm.
2. Toner
Once your skin is clean, toner helps rebalance the pH and prepares it to absorb the next products. Use about 4–5 drops if applying with your hands, or dampen a cotton pad just enough to leave your skin feeling hydrated, not wet. Opt for gentle yet effective ingredients like PHA or centella.
3. Essence & Serum
These products are lightweight in texture but deliver deep nourishment. For essence, 3–4 drops are enough to hydrate and prep the skin. Serums, especially those containing actives like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or peptides, should be used sparingly, thus 2–3 drops will do. Apply with gentle tapping motions to enhance absorption.
4. Eye Cream
The eye area is the most delicate part of the face and requires special care. Apply a rice grain-sized amount per eye using your ring finger to maintain a soft, light touch. This helps prevent fine lines caused by pulling or tugging the skin.
5. Moisturizer
A good moisturizer locks in all the layers underneath. Use an amount equivalent to a IDR 500-rupiah coin, which is just enough to cover the face and neck without feeling heavy. Adjust the texture based on your skin’s needs: a lightweight gel for morning use, and a richer cream for night.
6. Sunscreen
No morning skincare routine is complete without sunscreen. For optimal protection, apply two full finger lengths (index and middle) of sunscreen. This dermatologist-approved amount helps shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Without proper sun protection, even the most luxurious skincare can lose its effectiveness under sun exposure.
Premium products aren’t just about quality, but also efficiency. Knowing how much to use helps you care for your skin effectively without waste. Skincare isn’t about “more is better,” but rather using the right amount, in the right way, for each product’s function and texture.
