Serums
Serums are a type of skincare product that is designed to deliver high concentrations of specific active ingredients to the skin. They are typically lighter and thinner than moisturizers, allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin. There are many different types of serums, each formulated to address specific skin concerns.
