What exactly are facial serums?
A facial serum is distinct from a moisturiser due to its refined composition, based on water, oil, or gel, enriched with concentrated active ingredients. These specially developed formulas provide targeted solutions for specific skin conditions or needs. A serum applied before your daily moisturiser in the morning and evening is essential for radiant skin. It is central to a refined care routine aimed at refining your skin.
The difference between a serum and a cream
The distinction between a cream and a serum is notable, not just in the packaging size - with a serum packed in a smaller bottle - but also in the formula itself. Unlike the rich texture of a cream, a serum offers a liquid and light consistency. Furthermore, a serum leaves no oily or sticky residue on the skin.
Under a microscope, the difference between a cream and a serum becomes even clearer, particularly in the size of their molecules. Creams are composed of larger molecules, making it difficult to reach every skin layer effectively. Serums, on the other hand, contain finer molecules that easily and deeply penetrate the skin, where they release their active ingredients. The smaller molecules mean that serums are richer in active and essential ingredients than day or night creams. Although this increases the price of serums, their concentrated formula ensures intensive skin care
The benefits of facial serums
Serums address specific skin conditions such as dryness, fine lines, pigmentation, and acne. Unlike other skincare products, serums are highly dosed and, therefore, effective. The beauty of a serum is that you often notice a boost in your skin in a short time, such as a clearer complexion or reduced visibility of fine lines.
