Serums & Gels

Serums are lightweight, concentrated formulations packed with active ingredients to target specific skin concerns like ageing, pigmentation, or dehydration. Gels are often water-based, soothing, and hydrating, ideal for oily or sensitive skin.

Yes. Serums deliver concentrated active ingredients deeper into the skin, targeting specific concerns more effectively than moisturisers alone. Moisturisers help seal in hydration and protect the skin barrier.

• Dry skin: hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
• Oily/acne-prone skin: lightweight gels with niacinamide or salicylic acid.
• Ageing skin: anti-ageing serums with retinol or peptides.
• Pigmented skin: brightening serums with vitamin C, alpha arbutin, or liquorice extract.

Yes. Serums containing salicylic acid, niacinamide, or zinc can reduce oil, unclog pores, and calm inflammation, helping to prevent and manage breakouts.

Yes, but carefully. Apply from lightest to heaviest consistency and avoid combining strong actives that may irritate, like high-strength retinol and AHAs at the same time.

Most serums and gels can be used once or twice daily, depending on the active ingredients and your skin type. Follow instructions and consult a Skin Expert if unsure.

No. Serums target specific concerns, while moisturisers provide hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. Using both ensures optimal skin health and results.
