Serums, ampoules, boosters… they’re all the same thing—skin treatments. The wording is mostly a marketing tactic to differentiate skin care products and make them sound special (not to say that they aren’t!). But just so you know, they all basically function similarly. Maybe you’ve read that ampoules and boosters are super-concentrated serums, but concentration varies depending on how the product itself is formulated anyway. After all, it’s not like there’s some concentration formulation standard that ALL serums have to comply with to be a serum.
— You don’t actually need to use a serum or ampoule ALL over your face. They’re concentrated, so depending on what it does, serums can be spot-applied just on the target area you’re trying to treat. For instance, if you want to eradicate brown spots and hyperpigmentation, and you’re using a vitamin C serum, you can dab it onto the areas you want to treat—it’ll make your serum last longer that way (ps. Vitamin C serums are great at fading pigmentation but also preventing brown spots from appearing as well!).
There’s no real age when one should start using a serum. You’re never too young to start taking care of your skin! Sure, serums are great for repairing skin damage, but using them before damage can make its mark is a great way to keep your skin looking 100%.
— You can layer your serums as well as add serum to your other products for an extra “boost.” We’re all for following the rules with our skin care regimen, but we also love marrying skin care and makeup. If you want to give your makeup that extra boost, you can add a drop of serum to your foundation right before you apply it for an added boost. Depending on how much you mix in, it could change the consistency of said foundation however, so that will be up to you.
