How to use serum on face

Apply face serum on clean, slightly damp skin before moisturizer. Use two to three drops, press gently onto cheeks, forehead, and chin, and wait about 30 seconds for it to absorb. Regular morning and night use supports hydration, radiance, and smoother texture.

Best way to apply face serum for maximum benefits

Step-by-step method

• Prep skin - Cleanse to remove oil and buildup. Apply toner if you use one to balance skin and improve absorption.
• Dispense - Place a few drops on fingertips instead of directly on the face to keep the dropper clean.
• Apply - Press or tap the serum upward and outward for even coverage without pulling the skin.
• Let it settle - Wait about a minute before layering moisturizer or sunscreen so actives can absorb.
• Frequency - Use twice daily unless the label advises otherwise. Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place.

Choosing the right serum

Select a serum that fits your skin type and main concern. Water-based serums feel light for oily or combination skin, while thicker emulsions suit dry or mature skin. Key ingredients guide the choice:

Layer serum before thicker creams or oils. In the morning, finish with SPF 50 sunscreen to protect ingredients from UV damage. Always patch-test a new formula if your skin is sensitive - especially with actives like vitamin C or retinol.
