What are the different types of serums?
Thanks to their high concentration of active ingredients, serums help correct various skin problems. Each serum meets a specific need of the skin.
- Serums to preserve the skin's youthfulness: they act against the mature signs of skin ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines or lack of radiance.
- Specific serums: the need for hydration for dehydrated skin, the need for nutrition for dry skin, the need for soothing and comfort for sensitive skin...
How to apply your serum?
Apply the serum morning and/or evening on clean skin. Take a few drops and warm them between your fingers before applying it with your fingertips, starting with the neck and going up to the forehead. Place the flat of the hand on the cheeks, forehead, nasolabial fold and chin for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions about serums
1. What does a face serum do?
A face serum is a lightweight skincare product formulated with concentrated active ingredients. It helps target specific concerns such as dehydration, dullness, fine lines, dark spots, or loss of firmness. Serums are typically applied after cleansing and before moisturizer for optimal absorption.
2. How do I choose the right serum for my skin?
Choose a serum based on your skin concern. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate dry skin, vitamin C boosts radiance and helps reduce dark spots, while retinol supports smoother, firmer-looking skin. For sensitive skin, look for soothing ingredients such as niacinamide or panthenol.
3. Can I use a serum every day?
Yes, most face serums are designed for daily use. Hydrating and antioxidant serums can generally be applied morning and evening, while stronger active ingredients like retinol are often best introduced gradually and used at night. Always follow the product instructions and wear sunscreen during the day.
