I’m a huge fan of serums. Not only do they reflect the newest technological advances in skincare, they pack a heavyweight punch in the a lightweight way. One of their key benefits is that they reach deep into the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. They also bolster the rest of your skincare routine, and are great to layer under moisturiser to help lock in active ingredients. From hand and hair serums, to specialist treatments for all kinds of skin types and conditions, pick a serum that addresses your needs.

It’s a great texture, easy to blend and with a lightweight finish.
