Serums. What are they and why should you use them?
Serums are designed to deliver a concentrated dose of ingredients to the skin. Applied after cleansing and toning, and before moisturiser, the higher concentration of active ingredients in serums typically mean you’ll see results in a shorter amount of time.
Serums are great for targeting skin issues such as dullness, fine lines, discolouration and acne. They will often soothe sensitive skin and protect it from future damage. The thin viscosity means they’re easily and quickly absorbed, and feel light on the skin.
There’s so many options, which serum is right for me?
Well, this depends on what results you are looking for. We’ve outlined below some key ingredients to look for, and the benefits to your skin.

Serums are beneficial for skin of all ages, for men and women. Apply to the face, neck and decolletage, once or twice a day, after cleansing and toning the skin. Use broad gentle upward strokes, starting at the decolletage and moving upwards. Serums are a powerful addition to your routine that will improve and protect your skin.
