What Is A Face Serum?

A face serum is a lightweight moisturiser that contains a higher concentration of active ingredients that may include hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and Vitamin C.

Face Serums are known for their effectiveness at managing and improving specific skin concerns such as dry skin, wrinkles, and acne. Serums hydrate the skin by adding water to the skin whereas moisturisers seal in vital serum ingredients while providing moisture.

Why Should I Use a Face Serum?

Serums can brighten the look of dull, flaky, and dry skin, since they are absorbed quickly into the skin and unlike some moisturisers don’t leave an oily residue. Serums are becoming more & more popular as one key ingredient in serums – hyaluronic acid – has regenerative properties and helps to minimise dark spots and blemishes. 

Added Tips For Dry Skin

Ideally you should use face serum both in the morning and at night daily BEFORE using other moisturisers. The added moisture from a serum can supplement your routine if you have particularly dry skin.

Apply the serum after cleaning your face so it is damp and the skin is more permeable at this stage.

Use a pea sized amount of your serum as less is more and you do not want to waste it. Most gel-based serums go a long way.

When selecting a serum, you might consider one without fragrance (for some people fragranced skincare could be the cause of allergic reactions and irritation on dry or sensitive skin).
