What is a serum?

A serum is a lightweight skincare product with a high concentration of active ingredients and small molecules that penetrate deep into the skin.

How does a serum work?

The active ingredients penetrate deeper than they do from a cream. The effects are more intense and visible sooner.

Which serum suits your skin?

Dark spots: vitamin C or niacinamide. Hydration: hyaluronic acid. Anti-aging: retinol or peptides. Barrier repair: ceramides.

How do you apply a serum?

After cleansing and toning, before your cream. Pat a few drops in with your fingertips. Wait 1–2 minutes before the next step.
