The serum acts as a skin treatment, and besides moisturizing it, it can also have other actions as well, such as potent actives that help lighten, that act on anti-aging, with antioxidant action, with acids, specific for oily skin… There is no shortage of options! Some serums can be slightly oilier than others, but in general, they work for all skin types (keep an eye on the active ingredients in the formula) – very economical, just a few drops and voilà: your skin is properly treated!

Known for being a rich elixir, the serum should be used after cleansed skin and right after the toner. You can still use it before applying the cream moisturizer, but if your serum already has this function, you can skip straight to the sunscreen step. In the daytime routine, it should come before any heavier textured cream. Plus, you can even apply it to your neck as well!

“But how many drops do I apply?” 3 to 5 drops are enough to spread the serum all over the face and neck. Just spread the product with your fingertips, wait for the skin to dry and that’s it!
