שאלות שכל לקוחה שואלת על סרום – ענינו על הכול

Serum is one of the most popular products in a skincare routine, but also one of the most confusing. When do you apply it? How do you choose which one? Can you combine several serums together? We've gathered all the answers in one place.

✨ What exactly is a serum?

A serum is a light skincare product concentrated with a high concentration of active ingredients. Unlike a moisturizer, its molecules are smaller, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin and act more precisely.

🌿 When do you apply serum in your skincare routine?

Serum is applied after cleansing and before cream. The correct order:

1. Cleansing
2. Toner (if applicable)
3. Serum
4. Moisturizer
5. SPF protection (in the morning)

🔬 Which serum is right for me?

• Hyaluronic Acid – for all skin types, provides hydration and plumping
• Vitamin C – brightens, evens tone, recommended for morning
• Retinol – treats wrinkles and texture, recommended for evening
• Peptides – for mature skin, increases collagen production
• Niacinamide – for oily skin and enlarged pores

⚠️ Can you combine several serums together?

Yes, but carefully. Rules of thumb:

• Do not combine Vitamin C with Retinol or AHA/BHA acids in the same routine
• Hydrating serum can be combined with texture serum in the morning
• Retinol serum only at night

💧 How much serum should I apply?

A few drops, up to the size of a grain of rice – enough to cover the face and neck. Using a larger amount will not improve results and may cause irritation.

🧴 How long until I see results?

• Hydration and radiance – 2-4 weeks
• Even tone – 4-6 weeks
• Wrinkles and sagging – 8-12 weeks of consistent use

🌸 Is serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely yes, but it's important to choose correctly. Avoid retinol, strong acids, and perfume. A serum with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or peptides would be a better choice.

🔆 Morning or evening?

Depends on the type of serum. Vitamin C – morning only. Retinol – evening only. Hydrating or peptide serum – can be used in both routines.

🚨 What to do if the skin reacts with stinging or redness?

Stop using it and consult a beautician. It's possible the serum is not suitable for your skin type, or the active ingredient is too strong for the initial stage.
