The Difference Between Serum and Moisturiser

In skincare routines, both serum and moisturiser are essential products, but they serve different functions and work on different levels of the skin.

Serum

Serum:
Serum typically has a lightweight, non-heavy texture. In the skincare routine, serum is a product that contains a high concentration of active ingredients, such as anti-aging compounds, antioxidants, brightening agents, or hydrating ingredients. They are designed to address specific skin concerns like dullness, fine lines, or dryness. Due to their potent ingredients and smaller molecules, serums can penetrate deep into the skin, delivering quick and effective results.

Moisturiser

Moisturiser:
Moisturisers generally have a thicker, more nourishing texture than serum, but DESLY's moisturiser is known for being non-heavy and non-greasy, which has made it very popular among customers. Moisturisers mainly provide the skin with nutrients and lock in the benefits of serums by forming a protective barrier. They are applied after serums to hydrate and protect the skin, preventing moisture loss.

Summary

Serum primarily targets specific skin issues, while Moisturiser is used to lock in moisture and nutrients. This combination ensures deep skincare benefits and surface-level hydration, leading to a more comprehensive skincare routine.
