Question
What’s the difference between a moisturiser and a serum? Should I be using both?
Sally, via email.
Answer
Moisturisers hydrate the upper layers of the skin and generally come in a cream form. By comparison, a serum can deliver potent ingredients which repair and restore long-term changes in the skin through a lightweight, gel-like formulation that can penetrate into the skin’s dermal layers.
A serum should be applied before the moisturiser in your daily beauty routine and while it’s not essential, its reparative properties provide much desired anti-aging benefits.
