As we all know serums are the fastest way to get active ingredients in and results out of your skin. Serums are a must have for a higher quality skin care routine. However a beginner’s mistake often tends to be interchanging serums with moisturizer.
Another good practice is to remember that the best time to use a serum is after cleansing and toning but before moisturizing.
Serums are mistakenly preferred over moisturizers for the wrong reason: more active ingredients. Serums don’t, however, work as well as moisturizers in stopping water loss from the skin. This is due to the fact that they are often made as a liquid. Anti-Aging serums don’t contain ingredients moisturizers rely on to hydrate and moisturize the skin.

As serums tend to have higher concentrations of active ingredients, people see results faster. Moisturizers and other anti-aging skin care products could very well contain the same ingredients, but in smaller concentrations per dose. Other skin care products also tend to focus on ingredients that help keep moisture inside the skin. Whereas anti-aging serums are better suited to fix specific issues
