FAQs
What are the benefits of using a face serum?
Face serums are highly concentrated products offering targeted care with active ingredients:
- Hydration: Serums with hyaluronic acid deeply hydrate the skin.

What are the basic steps of a skincare routine?
A complete skincare routine includes the following steps:
- Cleansing: Remove makeup and impurities with a gentle facial cleanser. For heavy makeup, start with an oil cleanser (double cleansing).
- Toner: Balances the skin’s pH and prepares it for the next steps.
- Serum: Contains active ingredients targeting specific needs like hydration, brightness, or anti-aging.
- Eye cream: Applied around the eye area to combat wrinkles and dark circles.
- Moisturizer: Locks in moisture and keeps the skin soft.
- Sunscreen (morning): Essential for protection against harmful UV rays.
- In the evening, replace sunscreen with a night cream or a repairing product.
Why should I include serum in my skincare routine?
Serum is a product with a high concentration of active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin than a cream. Depending on your needs, you can choose a serum for hydration (hyaluronic acid), brightness (vitamin C), or anti-aging (retinol). It’s perfect for targeting specific concerns like discoloration, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Applying serum before moisturizer enhances the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
