A face serum is an essential step in your skincare routine, offering targeted benefits with potent active ingredients. Serums are formulated with potent active ingredients to help get visible results. One of the main serum benefits is that they typically have a lightweight consistency, which allows them to penetrate into skin and get to work.

The best way to build a serum routine is to apply a small amount on cleansed, exfoliated skin. Most face serums direct you to use just 1-2 pumps, then follow with a moisturiser of your choice. The rule of thumb when it comes to layering skincare and perfecting your serum routine: go from thinnest to thickest. Serum first, moisturiser second. You can use the same serum morning and night, but always follow with SPF in the AM.

The type of serum you use depends on the results you want. If you're looking for a serum for dark spots that will even out and brighten skin tone, try Even Better Clinical™ Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter, a powerful brightening serum that helps improve the look of dark spots, including post-blemish marks and sun spots.
