This is because serum is highly-concentrated and easily absorbed. When you hear that something is oil-based it can make you worried that it will clog your pores or leave you feeling greasy.
The reality is that with some oil-based skincare this is the truth. Face serum has a viscosity that makes it feel a little more like silky water than oil itself. Plus, just because you have oily skin does not mean you should avoid oily products.
Quite the opposite actually — depriving your skin of oil can cause it to overcompensate with oil production, leading to a vicious cycle. We recommend that you use the serum in the evening evening after cleansing, as you should with any other product which you are leaving on your skin.

Topical serums with hyaluronic acid can temporarily bind water in the superficial layers of the skin, which, according to Shainhouse, can make your skin appear fresher and dewier. It also has the ability to temporarily minimize the appearance of fine lines. Hydrating serums often contain vitamin B5 , which helps to hydrate skin, making it appear smoother and more hydrated.
Antioxidants fight free radicals that can damage healthy skin. To help prevent skin damage from free radicals, choose a serum that contains ingredients like vitamins C, A , and E, and resveratrol. Anti-acne serums often contain salicylic acid or similar plant-based derivatives. Shainhouse explains that the best way to use a face serum is as a base layer under your heavier products like moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup. You can use a face serum once or twice a day after cleansing and toning your skin.
Think of it as the step after you clean. How often you apply a serum to your skin depends on your goals. Palm suggests the tips below to help you determine when to apply face serum to your skin.
Once you've got your skincare basics down and you're the master of your daily cleanse, moisturizer and SPF, you might be tempted to expand your routine to steps that target more specific skin woes.
Enter serums. What does serum do for your skin? The average beauty aisle's lineup can be overwhelming at first glance. That's because different serums can do quite a lot depending on the ingredients inside. Here's your intro to common serum benefits, when to use them, and how they work in the first place. Serums pack a serious punch. These highly concentrated formulations are designed to deliver a potent mix of active ingredients to your skin. Serums often address specific skincare concerns, such as aging, redness, dullness or blemishes.
Though one of the biggest benefits of many serums is added moisture, serums are different from lotions and creams. Usually, they have an oily or liquid texture, and unlike some heavy moisturizers, they're designed to absorb completely into the skin rather than sitting on top and creating a barrier.
Apply a serum to clean skin after washing your face and after your toner, if you use one but before applying moisturizer or other thicker products.
