All the benefits of a skin serum

Serums have become a must-have facial product in your beauty routine. In fact, its use has become increasingly widespread over the years, and it's almost impossible not to find it in the cosmetics collections of beauty brands. For those concerned with skin beauty, it's essential to find a facial routine suited to our skin, and using a good serum is part of it. Find out in our article what its benefits are and how best to use it on a daily basis.

What is a serum?

A serum is a liquid, sometimes viscous product, lighter than a moisturizer. It is applied after cleansing, before day or night cream. It is a highly concentrated product. It is used as a skincare layer before moisturizing. It does not act like a cream, and therefore cannot replace one. There really isn't a universal serum for all skin types, as they are used to treat specific needs (imperfections, redness, dryness, wrinkles, lackluster complexion, brown spots, sagging skin, etc.). Whether you're looking for dry skin, combination skin, sensitive skin, mature skin or oily skin, you're sure to find what you're looking for.

Serum or face oil?

A serum is a concentrated skincare product chosen according to a specific skin problem or need. It is applied after cleansing the face. There are two types of serum: oil and water. Both are highly concentrated in active ingredients, and their use depends on your skin type and needs.

Its benefits for the skin

The primary use of a serum is to provide initial hydration to the epidermis. It comes in several versions, with benefits that vary according to the skin's needs. A serum can be soothing, purifying, regulating, moisturizing, anti-imperfections, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle or anti-spot, for example. There are others designed for specific parts of the face, such as the eye contour area.

Depending on the desired effect, the active ingredients used in their formula vary.

You may find vitamins, trace elements, hyaluronic acid (ideal for its anti-aging and moisturizing virtues) or peptides (amino acids). Amino acids are essential to the natural moisturizing factor of the skin's corneal layer, while trace elements play a role in skin aging and general skin beauty (acne, healing, etc.).

How do I use it?

A serum's formula is always ultra-rich. It should therefore be used in very small quantities. For best results, it should be added as a complement to your day and/or night routine. Use it on clean skin cleansed with micellar water and cleansing foam, before your skincare cream. We recommend using a serum and a face cream from the same range to optimize the synergistic benefits of both products. A serum with natural or organic active ingredients is best for your skin. For instant radiance, add a few drops to your day and/or night cream, directly in the palm of your hand. Warm and apply to face.
