Skin expert Samar Ahmad will answer all the above queries:
Serum is a light creamy or oily product used before the moisturizing cream. It consists of very tiny particles reaching deep into the skin and provides a high concentration of active ingredients boosting the moisturizing cream effectiveness and absorption into skin.
It is neither a moisturizer nor a replacement of the daily moisturizer, yet it alleviates the impact of skin care creams.
