what is a serum anyway?

Skin care serums are topical treatments that target specific skin concerns. They are usually applied after cleansing and/or exfoliating, but before facial oils or moisturizers, for the best results. Facial oils and moisturizers can create a protective barrier that prevents serums from absorbing into your skin surface, which is why serums should go on first. You can apply one serum or layer different serums on top of one another to treat different concerns.

how do I layer serums?

Apply your serums from lightest texture to heaviest texture. If you are unsure whether it is okay to layer your serums, ask a Dermalogica skin therapist.
