Serums are having a moment. To get the skinny, we reached out to experts to get their take on the benefits, differences, and the right products to try.
The Basics
Layering has become increasingly prevalent. By using a serum, people are able to intensify the strength of their regimen or round out the ingredients they are applying to their skin to provide a more comprehensive approach to anti-aging and hydration. Serums are usually formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients so that a few drops are sufficient to cover the entire face. The texture is usually lighter than a moisturizer, which allows for it to be used as a stand-alone product for someone with oilier skin, or used under a moisturizer for someone with normal to dry skin.
The Application
We suggest using a serum day and night before applying your moisturizer. Serums are highly concentrated, provide immediate and long term results as well as boost and support the natural functions in the skin. Moisturizers help rebuild skin’s protective barrier and feature anti-aging technologies to target specific concerns. Apply the serum with one or two fingers (so as to avoid wasting the serum on your hands) and massage thoroughly into the skin.
