What is a face serum and what is it used for?
A serum is a lightweight, concentrated formula applied between cleansing and cream. Compared with a face cream, it usually has a higher concentration of actives and a finer texture that absorbs quickly. Serums are used to support a single skin goal – for example more hydration, a more even-looking complexion or visibly firmer, better-cared-for skin. They do not replace your moisturizer but add a focused step to the routine.
How to choose the right serum
Start from your main care goal and your skin type. Light, water-based textures suit oily or combination skin well, while richer serums give dry skin extra comfort. Apply the serum after cleansing and seal it in with a face cream. For age-related concerns, the Anti-Aging category can help, and for uneven tone the Pigment Spots category. Introduce high-strength serums step by step and avoid starting several new active products at the same time.
