Serum & Oil

Serums and oils are two types of skin care products used to nourish, treat and improve the skin. Although they share some similarities, they have different formulations, textures and purposes. Here is an overview of serums and oils:
Serum: Serum is a lightweight, highly concentrated skin care product that contains a high concentration of active ingredients. They are designed to deliver powerful ingredients deep into the skin. Serums are usually formulated with a thin, watery consistency, which allows them to be easily absorbed. They are often used to target specific skin concerns such as hydration, radiance, anti-aging, acne or hyperpigmentation. Serums may contain ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants, peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinol, or other special compounds. They are usually applied after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing to give the skin an extra boost of targeted treatments.

Oils: Facial oils, on the other hand, are thick, lipid-based products that are primarily used to moisturize, nourish, and protect the skin. They are often derived from plant sources and may include ingredients such as botanical extracts, essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Facial oils help replenish and seal in moisture, soften the skin and create a protective barrier against environmental factors. They are particularly beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin types, but can also be used by people with other skin types. Facial oils can be used alone or mixed with moisturizers to provide extra hydration and benefits.
Both serums and oils can be incorporated into a skincare routine, but they serve different purposes. The serum targets specific concerns and delivers powerful active ingredients, while the oil provides primary moisturization and nourishment. It’s important to choose serums and oils that are appropriate for your skin type and concerns, and to follow the manufacturer’s recommended usage instructions.
