Face serums are design to provide a high concentration of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and glycolic acid. Facial serums are often used to deal with specific skincare problems, such as wrinkles. They come in various formulations, such as; oils, creams and light gels.

- A serum does not replace your moisturizer, but it is designed to add extra benefits to your skin. -

Normally, they are lighter than moisturizers, which makes them great for layering. You will want to pair your moisturizer with a face serum if you’re dealing with a challenging skin problem like sun damage or hyperpigmentation.

Benefits of Face Serums

Let’s take a closer look at some of the main benefits of including face serum in your skincare routine.

Quickly Absorbed into your Skin

The serum is a skincare formula that is lighter than moisturizers. The thinner viscosity makes the serum more easily absorbed by the skin.

Soothes sensitive skin

According to (Dr. Melanie Palm, a board-certified dermatologist), lightweight serums and lotions are generally suitable for people with acne or oily skin.

Provides more effective results

Because face serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to other products, they can provide more visible effects.

Protects your skin from free radicals and prevents damage

Face serum has some of the most effective active ingredients that help to reduce oxidative damage from the UV rays and pollution, which may cause wrinkles and early skin ageing.

It feels light on your skin

Face serums absorb quickly into your skin; that why it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy.

Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles

Face serum is the best choice to improve the life of your skin and prevent the wrinkles.

How to use a Serum

In this first step, cleanse your face.

Next, use your fingertips or the palm of your hand to gently apply a small amount of the serum to the face and neck.

Wait for five minutes so the serum can completely absorb into your skin.

Finally, complete the process by applying your favourite moisturizer.

- In most cases, it's a good idea to apply the serum before the moisturizer. This is because serums are usually lighter, while moisturizers tends to be thicker. -
