# Demo exact layering order and dosage on skin

A beauty format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/beauty/demo-exact-layering-order-and-dosage-on-skin

Physically show the order, wait time and amount of each product on your face or hand instead of just describing it. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers see the rule being applied, so there are no product names to memorize. Pea-sized doses, wait-time rules and a drip test make the steps concrete.

## How to make it

1. Name the ingredient or combination up front
2. Apply each step on camera in order
3. Show the amount and the wait time
4. Warn about conflicts

## Hook formula

How to correctly use [ingredient] like a [credential]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
