choosing the right face serum based on your skin type

 

How to use a face serum

Use it as the base layer in your routine
To maximise results a face serum should be used once or twice a day after cleansing and toning your skin, under the heavier products in your routine, like moisturisers, sunscreen and makeup.

Dab or pat onto skin
Apply a few drops to your face morning and/or night.
For best results follow up with a face oil  while the skin is still damp.

How often
It depends on your skin goals, our serums can be used once or twice a day in the AM and/or PM.

Tips: Apply skin care products from thinnest to thickest. Most serums work best when applied as the first layer, in direct contact with clean skin after you’ve used a cleanser. If the active ingredient is too irritating or drying, you can apply it over another product to create a buffering effect.

What is a face serum?

Water based serums are thin-viscosity topical products containing concentrated active ingredients. The larger amount of active molecules can penetrate the skin’s surface for optimum effectiveness. Its higher concentration allows it to take a shorter amount of time to see visible results.

Serums are lighter than moisturisers and oil delivering active ingredients to the skin quickly , application is recommended before moisturisers and oils which help seal  the serum to maximise its benefits.

 

Benefits of adding a serum to your skincare routine
