Serums have become the new essential in any serious skincare routine, and we now have a greater understanding of precisely how key ingredients interact with skin cells. One of the benefits of these lightweight moisturise-binding products is that they are very specific in what they do, whether it’s to target pigmentation, dryness, blemishes or wrinkles and skin laxity.
