Ever since I read about face serums, I was curious to use one of those. And now that I use one, I swear by it. The first question that popped in my mind was what is the difference between a face serum and other facial products?
Face serums contain concentrated active ingredients. These ingredients are present in small quantities in lotions and moisturisers. But face serums are formulated in such a way that the tiny molecules are able to penetrate deeper into the skin. Serums also fight the free radicals that bring about signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is another ingredient present in serums, which moisturises and hydrates the skin.
