Understanding Face Serums: Hydration, Repair, & Glow
Face serums are lightweight, fast-absorbing formulations that deliver concentrated active ingredients to your skin. They're rich in water-soluble ingredients and usually contain little to no oils.
Unlike creams and moisturizers, which focus on moisturizing skin with emollients (oils) serums are designed to target specific skin concerns—whether it’s a compromised skin barrier, dullness, irritation, even skin tone or the desire for a healthy glow.
Why Choose a Water-Based Serum?
Water-based serums are typically a lot lighter than oil-based formulas and work quickly to deliver hydration and active ingredients to the skin. They’re ideal for those with oily or combination skin but can be beneficial to any skin type depending on the formula. Water serums are also great for layering into your routine, providing moisture and treatment before you apply heavier creams or oils.
How to Use a Face Serum:
- Apply After Cleansing: Use a few drops of your serum on clean, slightly damp skin.
- Layer Your Products: Serums absorb quickly, so layer on your moisturizer afterward to lock in the benefits.
- Morning and Night: For maximum results, you can use serums both in your AM and PM skincare routines.
