If there is a beauty product that cannot be missing from your dressing table, it's the almighty serum.
Not only is it lighter and more absorbent, but it also contains the most potent dose of active ingredients as well as anti-ageing antioxidants, peptides, and skin brighteners. So basically all the essentials to help your skin look flawless.
It's also true that serums are normally twice the price than a regular cream, but even though you might think that a cream is cheaper and contains more product than a tiny, fancy bottle of serum, the reason is that the most of the regular creams have also added lubricating and thickening agents that are not really necessary for your skin.
Serums are made of very small molecules so the skin absorbs them quickly and deeply, for this reason a teeny tiny amount of serum once a day is enough for your skin to get the vitamins and active ingredients that it needs. So it's quite likely that this little fancy bottle will last a lot longer than your regular cream.
