Read The Label

Look for serums that are labeled as suitable for your skin type. For example, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, you may want to choose a serum that is lightweight, and oil-free.

Patch Test

Before applying a new serum to your face, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions or sensitivities.

Layering Serums

If you have multiple skin concerns, you can layer serums to address each one individually. Start with the serum with the lightest consistency and apply it first, followed by thicker serums or moisturizers.
