Lighter than a face cream and fast-absorbing, face serums are packed with high concentrations of active ingredients (think antioxidants, minerals and vitamins) and can help treat many skincare concerns - dark under eyes, dryness and fine lines, to redness and breakouts, plus so much more!. Serums also offer an extra boost of hydration, locking in moisture without clogging pores. A little goes a long way.
