How to use serum on face

Why Face Serums Make a Difference

Understanding how to use serum on face is key for achieving visible improvements in your skin’s texture and tone. Serums deliver concentrated ingredients that target dryness, uneven pigmentation, and early signs of aging more effectively than standard moisturizers. Applying a suitable serum can help you notice smoother, brighter skin with consistent use.

Step-by-Step Serum Application for Best Results

Prep Your Skin

Begin by cleansing your face to remove impurities and makeup. This step ensures that the serum’s active ingredients penetrate efficiently.

Apply the Correct Amount

Use 2–3 drops or a pea-sized amount. More isn’t better, so stick to the recommended quantity to avoid waste.

Pat Gently

With clean fingertips, gently pat the serum onto your face and neck, focusing on areas that need extra care. Avoid rubbing, which can irritate the skin.

Let It Absorb

Allow about a minute for the serum to fully absorb before layering moisturizer or sunscreen.

Choosing the Right Serum for Your Skin Concerns

Selecting the best serum depends on your individual skin needs. Here’s how the featured serums compare:

Both options are packaged in airtight bottles to preserve potency. Shipping is available across India, and products typically arrive within 3–7 business days.

When and How Often to Use Face Serum

Serums can be used once or twice daily, depending on your skin’s needs and the product directions. Morning application helps protect against environmental stress, while nighttime use supports skin renewal. Consistency is important for optimal results.

Layering Serums with Other Skincare Products

Apply serum after cleansing and before heavier products like moisturizer or sunscreen. If layering multiple serums, start with the thinnest and allow each to absorb before adding the next. Be mindful of ingredient compatibility, especially with active ingredients.

Common Application Mistakes to Avoid

• Applying too much product—stick to the recommended amount.
• Skipping cleansing—serum works best on clean skin.
• Rubbing instead of patting—gentle application improves absorption.
• Neglecting to follow with moisturizer—locks in hydration.

What to Consider Before You Buy

• Ingredients: Opt for formulas with proven actives like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C.
• Skin Type: Match the serum to your specific skin concerns for best results.
• Formulation: Many shoppers prefer vegan, cruelty-free options free from parabens and sulfates.
• Packaging: Airtight and eco-friendly packaging helps maintain effectiveness.
• Value: Compare price per ml and look for bundle offers for added savings.
• Returns: Purchases are covered by a satisfaction guarantee—returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery if unopened.
