What is a serum and how do you apply it?
Jam-packed with active ingredients, serums, such as our Advanced Genifique Serum and Génifique Ultimate Dual Repair Serum, have the power to elevate skincare routines from satisfactory to sensational. Applied on cleansed skin, their light textures help smaller molecules to target specific issues. Let’s find out more about serums and when to use one.
What is a face serum?
A face serum is a lightweight moisturising product in skincare that comes in gel or fluid form for rapid absorption. Serums boast a high concentration of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to target specific skin concerns, from dullness to hyperpigmentation.
Want maximum beauty benefits? Apply your serum after cleansing but before moisturising. As serums have the power to penetrate skin quickly, applying a moisturising cream shortly after will help to lock in the serum and provide an extra level of protection against external skin aggressors.

How serum works on the face?
The plentiful face serum benefits are due to two factors, including consistency and active ingredients. With a lightweight consistency and smaller molecular structure, serums penetrate more deeply than a comparable moisturiser. This allows them to deliver a high dose of active ingredients with every use.
Serum vs face oil
Face serum and face oil are often compared, but what should you use? Whereas face oils are generally to protect and nourish your face, a serum will target a particular concern – like wrinkles or dryness. Face oils, which are great for those with dry skin, tend to be heavier than serums too, while serums can have lightweight, hydrating qualities.
