Face Serums

Face serums that deliver concentrated actives: vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and peptides.

Face serums: targeted treatment for every skin concern

Serums are the power players of a skincare routine. With lightweight textures and high concentrations of active ingredients, they deliver targeted results for specific concerns such as dehydration, dullness, dark spots, fine lines or blemishes. A serum is applied after cleansing and toning but before moisturiser, so its ingredients can work directly on the skin.

Find the right serum

• Hydrating serums: hyaluronic acid and glycerin for plump, dewy skin.
• Brightening serums: vitamin C, niacinamide and arbutin for radiance and even tone.
• Anti-ageing serums: retinol, peptides and antioxidants for fine lines and firmness.
• Clarifying serums: salicylic acid and zinc for blemish-prone skin.
• Soothing serums: centella, panthenol and ceramides for sensitive skin.

How to use a serum

1. Cleanse and tone your skin.
2. Apply a few drops and gently press into the face and neck.
3. If you use more than one serum, apply the thinnest texture first.
4. Finish with moisturiser, and SPF in the morning.

Morning or evening?

Antioxidant serums such as vitamin C are ideal in the morning under sunscreen, while retinol and exfoliating serums are best used at night. Hydrating serums can be used twice a day.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a serum if I use a moisturiser?

A moisturiser hydrates and protects; a serum adds concentrated treatment. Together they give the best results.

How long before I see results?

Hydration is often visible right away, while results on tone and lines usually take four to twelve weeks.
