How to Apply Face Serum for Best Results
Apply your face serum after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser. Use 2–3 drops and press gently into the skin — do not rub. For vitamin C serums, apply in the morning under SPF. For retinol serums, apply at night only and introduce gradually — start 2–3 times per week to allow skin to adjust. Hyaluronic acid serums can be used morning and evening on slightly damp skin for maximum absorption.
