Natural face serum: how to choose the right one for your skin
En este artículo
A serum is the step in your facial routine that adapts most to your skin: it has a light texture and ingredients designed for a specific need. Choosing one is easy once you know what to look for. Here is how.
In short
- Dry or mature skin: an oil serum, more nourishing.
- Combination or oily skin: a water-based serum, lighter.
- Skin with different areas: you can use each one where it is needed.
Oil serum or water-based serum
The big difference is the base. An oil serum is made with vegetable oils and brings nourishment. A water-based serum has a light emulsion texture, absorbs straight away and leaves no greasy feel.
If your skin is dry or mature
Regenerating Serum is a 30 ml oil serum with sandalwood and ylang ylang essential oils and sacha inchi, jojoba and calendula oils. Its natural origin index is 100% according to ISO 16128. It is not the best choice for oily skin.
If your skin is combination or oily
Balance Serum is a 30 ml water-based serum with hyaluronic acid, squalane, goji extract and vitamin C, with a natural origin index of 97.4%. It suits all skin types, especially combination and oily skin, and also sensitive or dehydrated skin.
How to apply it
- Start with clean skin. An oil serum spreads better if the skin is still slightly damp.
- Use a small amount. A few drops are enough for face and neck.
- Pair it with your cream. We explain the order for your skin in our guide to a natural skincare routine.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use both serums?
Yes. You can use Balance Serum on the T-zone and Regenerating Serum on drier areas.
Does an oil serum make skin greasy?
Ours is very light and absorbs easily. Even so, if your skin is oily, a water-based serum will suit you better.
Should I do a patch test?
It is a good idea to try it first on a small area, especially if you have sensitive skin.
