What are Face Serums?

  There has been a lot of hype about face serums over the last few years. However, there are a lot of people still curious, what are serums and how do they fit into my skin care routine. Keep reading to discover more about face serums.

WHAT IS A FACE SERUM?

Face serums have become an essential step in any skin care routine and have been proven to make a noticeable difference to how the skin looks and feels.

Serums work in a slightly different way to regular moisturisers. They contain only a few concentrated actives and less additives like thickeners, emulsifiers or oils. This allows the formula to absorb quickly and the active ingredients to penetrate deeper delivering a high concentration of effective ingredients directly into the skin. Thus, serums focus on maximum “bioavailability” or the proportion of the product which is absorbed into the skin.

The powerful concentration of face serums makes them perfect for targeting specific skin concerns, whether they may be fine lines, fatigue or large pores. Face serums are notoriously highly-concentrated and lightweight formulas, which means they absorb into your skin quickly and won’t leave a sticky residue on your face. This is perfect for those that prefer the weightless feel when it comes to skin care or people with oily skin.

SHOULD I USE FACE SERUMS INSTEAD OF A MOISTURISER?

Simply put, no. Face serums are designed to be used in combination with moisturiser rather than in its place. You should follow up your favourite face serum with a hydrating moisturiser like NIVEA Anti-Age Night Cream and wake up to a bright and healthy-looking complexion.
