Choosing A Serum

What is a serum and do I really need one?
Thanks to incredible advancements to skincare industry, now there is a plethora of products in the market. Dermatologists have come to the conclusion that all you need is a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. But then you hear that you need a serum for your fine lines, and a serum for your hyperpigmentation and you get confused.

What is a serum? How can I choose the right one for me?

We are here to answer all of your questions and suggest the perfect serum for your skin concerns. But first, what is a serum? A serum is a skincare product with a lightweight formulation and a high concentration of actives. Since the definition of a serum is very ambiguous, this has led to serums being in different consistencies. They can be very watery, slimey or even in a lotion form. Despite the texture, they are very lightweight, get absorbed fast without leaving anything on the skin and they are different from moisturizers.

Serum vs moisturizer; do I need them both?
While some people use serums and moisturizers on rotation, we are here to tell you that they are different and can’t substitute each other (and you may need them both). But, how is a serum different from a moisturizer? It all comes down to consistency and performance. Serums has lighter and thinner consistency; they get absorbed deeper in the skin and faster. On the other hand, moisturizers are creamier and thicker. They have larger molecules and stay on top of the skin forming a layer that prevents water from leaving the skin. When it comes to performance, serums are superior! It’s true that some moisturizers have active ingredients meant to target different skin concerns, but they don’t perform nearly as well as moisturizers. Serums can have a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to moisturizers and these ingredients can penetrate deeper in the skin, while moisturizers sit on top. In a nutshell, you need both in your skincare routine to see visible results.

Which is the best serum for me?
