Serum can be your best friend if you give it a little study. So let’s dive into the magical world of serums.
Life can be pretty sad if you don’t shine the way you want to. Honestly, nobody can completely figure out their skin’s behaviour. Everyone is just trying their best to keep up their appearances, even models.
But, adding serums to your routine can be beneficial. Let’s look into the details.
What is a serum?
In simple terms, serums can be defined as topical products with low viscosity made up of intensive amounts of active ingredients.
In a basic skincare routine, they are applied either after cleansers ( if you don’t apply toners) or toners.
As they are lightweight and consist of active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Salicylic acid, etc, they have proven to be effective in providing quick results.
Let’s check out their benefits.
Benefits of a serum
Active ingredients in serums act as purifiers. They help in clearing out dirt, debris, and other impurities.
Their popularity is primarily because they help in treating skin discolouration, pigmentation, dullness, acne, wrinkles, blemishes, and other skin issues.
Since they are feathery, they get absorbed by the skin quickly. And you can layer the moisturiser right above it.
For sensitive skin, it’s the best invention in the world of skincare.
If you’re looking for quick results, serums are a must-have.

Depending upon the skin issues, serums can be classified into 6 main categories:
