The Best Face Serums for Every Skin Concern
Serums are having a moment! But questions remain… when to use one, which one is best, are they worth the investment? So to help you navigate the world of serums, here is our guide to get the best out of your serum and understand which ones are best suited to your skin type.
What does a serum do for your skin?
A serum is a concentrated formula that delivers active ingredients to the skin, providing targeted benefits such as hydration, brightening, and firming. The active ingredients in a serum are formulated to encourage more potency of the active compared to a moisturiser and as such target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation and redness.
What is the best way to use a serum?
Apply serums after cleansing and before moisturising. This will allow the serum to penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver the active ingredients to where they are needed most. You can use a serum in the morning and at night, depending on your skin's needs.
