Do I Need To Use A Serum?
BENEFITS OF USING SERUMS: DAY & NIGHT SKINCARE GUIDE
Unlock Radiance, Repair & Protection. Serums are the unsung heroes of any effective skincare routine. Lightweight, powerful, and packed with targeted active ingredients, they go beyond surface-level care to transform your skin from within. Whether you’re looking to brighten, hydrate, repair or smooth your complexion, understanding how and when to use day and night serums is key.
What Is a Serum?
LET'S START WITH THE BASICS
A serum is a concentrated skincare product designed to deliver high-performance active ingredients directly to the skin. Unlike heavier moisturisers, serums are fast-absorbing and penetrate deeper layers of the skin to treat specific concerns like fine lines, uneven tone, dullness, and dehydration.
Think of serums as the treatment phase in your skincare routine, to deliver visible results and complement your cleanser, toner, and moisturiser
How Do I Use a Serum?
THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT
For best results, serums should be applied to clean, dry skin, right after cleansing and toning. Use a pea-sized amount, gently patting it into your face and neck. Follow up with your moisturiser, and don’t forget SPF during the day.
During the day, look for ingredients like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and antioxidants to protect and hydrate. At night, opt for Retinol or Immortelle, Peptides or Gardenia, or Niacinamide to support repair and renewal.
Allow your serum to fully absorb before layering additional products to avoid pilling and maximise benefits. You can use a face modelling tool to better absorption
Day & Night Skincare Guide
Day Serums: Protect and Hydrate
Daytime is all about protection and prevention. A good day serum shields your skin from UV rays, pollution, and free radicals, all while keeping it plump and radiant.
Key Daytime Ingredients:

Tip: Using a toner after cleansing helps your serums work more effectively by removing leftover impurities, tightening pores, and prepping the skin for better absorption of active ingredients.
