Cream or Serum? Start With Texture
It is the most common texture question we hear: should I reach for a cream or a serum? The easiest answer is to look at the textures side by side. Serums are light fluids you press in with a few drops. Creams are thicker and work as your moisturizing step. Then, once you know your texture, there is a three-day mix-and-match offer waiting for you.
How the Textures Compare
Serums are lightweight and fast to absorb. Most labels ask for a few drops on clean skin, followed by moisturizer.
Creams are richer. The Copper Matrix Hydration Cream - 1 oz uses a pea-sized amount and settles into a soft, dewy finish, while the Ectoin Barrier Rescue Cream - 1 oz is a cushioning cream you press on, slightly more than a pea-sized amount.
Light feel? Start with a serum. Want more comfort? Add a cream. Many people use both: serum first, cream second.
Three 10 ml Serums to Know
These three serums are separate formulas, each in a needle-free precision applicator sealed in a foil pouch. Twist off the tip cap and press out the serum.
Seralumen Serum - 10 ml pairs ascorbyl glucoside (AA2G vitamin C), Nonapeptide-1 and sodium hyaluronate to help brighten dull-looking skin. Press out 2 to 3 drops, massage onto the face and neck, then follow with moisturizer, plus sunscreen in the morning.
Firm & Lift Surgeon Serum - 10 ml combines Matrixyl peptide, caffeine and sodium hyaluronate to help improve the look of firmness. Place a small amount on areas of concern, smooth until absorbed and follow with moisturizer.
Timeless Surgeon Serum - 10 ml brings copper peptide, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 and hyaluronic acid to help soften the look of fine lines. Use a small amount once or twice daily, then moisturizer.
About Encapsulation
Encapsulation applies only to products described as encapsulated on their own pages, such as the Copper Matrix Hydration Cream and the Ectoin Barrier Rescue Cream above. In those formulas, the capsules help protect the ingredients inside until use. The three 10 ml serums are not encapsulated. For the full story, read What Are Those Tiny Capsules?
