How Serums Help Your Skin
Serums are the heros of your clean routine, super-concentrated with powerful ingredients for total skin transformation. The best part? You can layer more than one for hyper targeted results.
What is a serum?
Every skin care routine should include these basic steps: cleanse, exfoliate, treat, moisturize, and protect. Serums fall into the “treat” category. These potent products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients to address specific skin concerns - and they deliver superior visible results.
How do serums work?
Many serums tend to focus on one or two key benefits. For instance, Ever's Daytime Brightening Serum not only has 10% vitamin C to brighten and protect your complexion from free radicals such as UV/A rays and blue light, it also contains 2% Caviar Lime (a natural alpha hydroxy acid) to gently exfoliate and refine skin texture. EVER's Youthful Quattro Peptide Face & Eye Serum, focuses on other benefits like firming and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles thanks to a 20% concentration of the powerful peptides and patented LSR10® bioactive complex. On the other hand, Quench Advanced Hydrating Boosterr ups skin’s hydration levels, and soothes and quenches dry, parched skin with two different types of Hyaluronic Acid.
Can you layer serums?
Yes—and you should layer your serums! While serums typically focus on one or two key benefits, you may have a few skincare concerns you’d like to address. So you don’t have to limit yourself to using one serum at a time and the best part is Ever's super-concentrated serums complement each other beautifully.
As a rule, the best order to apply your products is to start with the thinnest consistency and end with the thickest. Serums are much thinner in consistency than moisturizer, so the formula can be more easily absorbed by the skin.
It’s important to apply your serums after cleansing and exfoliating, which helps to buff away dead skin cells so the serum can better penetrate your skin.
Try applying a few drops of Quench first, and after fully absorbed, apply 1-2 pumps of Youthful. Once absorbed, (around 1 minute or less), finish your tretatment step with Daytime Brightening Serum with 10% vitamin C since it has a is part serum, part beauty oil, and will seal in all the benefits of of the serums applied prior.
And if you're looking for a daily routine to amp up your current results, the Vitamin C Glow Facial is a luxurious yet simple, 3-step ritual that renews, lifts and brightens your skin for instant glow with long-lasting benefits.
You’ll notice a difference in your skin’s tone and elasticity after a few weeks of use thanks to these genius combos.
