Skincare has evolved so much in the past few years that an effective skincare routine now includes a minimum of five steps instead of the 3-step skincare routine people were used to in the earlier days. In these updated skincare routines, you will always find the presence of a face serum.
Facial serums are solutions that are infused with highly concentrated active ingredients to target a specific skin condition. Serums get quickly absorbed into the deepest layers of your skin and can be used to treat various skin concerns, such as pigmentation, fine lines, dark spots, and so on. You would use a Serum after using a cleanser/toner and right before putting on your moisturizer.
Skipping a serum is almost a no-go these days if you expect to have an effective skincare routine in place. Want to know which are some of the best face serums available in the UAE? We have formulated a list of the top-rated Serums to help you out.
