FAQs Worth a Read

How should I layer my serums?

Begin with the thinnest serum in your routine and progress to the thickest.

Apply hydrating serums like Hyaluronic Serum first, followed by actives like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, or Glow Serum.

Use Retinol or Anti-Aging Serum at night and finish with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Can I use multiple serums in one routine?

  • Yes, but limit to 2-3 serums in a single routine to prevent overloading the skin.
  • Pair complementary serums like Hyaluronic and Anti-Aging Serum or Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid Serum.
  • Avoid combining Retinol with Vitamin C or Glow Serum in the same routine, as it can irritate the skin.

When should I use Retinol Serum?

  • Use Retinol Serum at night, as Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
  • Always apply sunscreen the next morning when using Retinol in your routine.

Can I use Vitamin C and Retinol together?

  • It’s best to use Vitamin C in the morning for antioxidant protection and Retinol at night for cell renewal.
  • If you must use them together, wait 20-30 minutes after applying Vitamin C before layering Retinol.

Can Salicylic Acid Serum dry out my skin?

Salicylic Acid may cause dryness if overused. Pair it with a hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Serum or a lightweight moisturizer to maintain balance.

How long should I wait between applying serums?

  • Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute for each serum to absorb before applying the next layer.

Should I use sunscreen after applying serums?

Yes!
Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen, especially if using brightening serums like Vitamin C, Glow Serum, or treatments like Retinol and Salicylic Acid. Use Pureum Broad Spectrum SPF 40++ Sunscreen for best results.

Should I use a moisturizer with serums?

Yes! Serums deliver active ingredients, but moisturizers lock in hydration and strengthen your skin barrier. Use them together for best results.

Can I use the Glow Serum daily?

Yes, but if you have sensitive skin, start by using it every other day to monitor how your skin reacts.
