WHAT IS A SERUM
Serums are products containing concentrated ingredients designed for effective penetration into the skin.
BENEFITS
The benefits to the skin, depends on the condition of the skin and the ingredients used to address the condition. For example, Retinol in serums may be used to address signs of aging, vitamin c can be used to address uneven skin tone and hyaluronic acid to address dryness.
As mentioned above generally the difference in the type of serum is based on the ingredient. Typically, these ingredients come in form of serums and ampoules.
Serums the are chemically formulated with smaller molecules that are able to penetrate deeper into the skin therefore they are more effective. They are usually thin liquids, packaged in small bottles with a dropper.
Ampoules are usually small sealed vials, each containing a single application of highly concentrated extract in water or oil based. Just like serums, each ampoule is targeting a specific condition of the skin but the major difference is ampoules are extremely concentrated and come prepared measured so the right amount is applied to the skin.

After cleansing, exfoliation and toner, serums and ampoules are applied with finger tips under a mask or moisturizer.
