Popular Q&A's for Serums & Treatments

1. What are facial serums and treatments?

Face serums and treatments are potent elixirs designed to be daily or night time skincare solutions. Created with high concentrations of active ingredients, they include serums, oils, masks and spot treatments that are applied after your cleanser to absorb into the skin and address specific skin needs. Of all the steps in your natural skincare routine, it is your facial serums, oils and treatments that do the heavy lifting, making these more efficacious than traditional moisturisers.

2. What's the difference between serums, face oils and treatment masks?

Serums are highly concentrated solutions that absorb into skin to target specific concerns like ageing, breakouts or dullness with active ingredients. Face oils are richer and focus on hydration whilst many are enriched with potent actives providing targeted solutions with deep hydration. Treatment masks deliver intensive care with concentrated actives for weekly or bi-weekly use, whilst spot treatments provide targeted application for specific blemishes or concerns.

3. Can I use face oils and treatments if I have oily skin?

Absolutely! Oily skin still needs hydration and targeted treatments. Look for lightweight, fast-absorbing face oils or serums with natural ingredients like Jojoba and Rosehip oils. Choose treatments with actives that help support the appearance of balanced skin like Niacinamide, Alpha Hydroxy Acid or Salicylic Acid. Clay masks and spot treatments are particularly beneficial for oily skin. Vitamin C serums are also excellent options, and applying treatments at night when skin produces less sebum is ideal.

4. What are serums and treatments used for?

Face oils, serums, masks and spot treatments are your go-to solutions for targeting specific skin concerns, from fine lines to pigmentation and breakouts. Packed with powerful active ingredients, these treatments can help support the appearance of healthy skin, improve the look of skin texture, provide hydration, support the appearance of balanced skin, improve the look of dark spots and address blemishes with precision application.

5. When should I use my serums, oils and treatments?

Apply skincare products from thinnest to thickest. Use serums and oils after cleansing and toning, followed by eye cream and moisturiser. If using both serum and oil, apply serum first. Spot treatments can be applied to specific areas as needed. Use treatment masks 1-2 times weekly on clean skin before your regular routine. For anti-ageing benefits, consider bakuchiol serums as a gentle retinol alternative. Press serums and oils over face, neck and décolletage, applying excess to the back of your hands.
