Facial serum for women, oils and targeted treatments
The women's face serum is a concentrated treatment that is applied after cleansing and before cream: a few drops are enough. The page also includes care oils, eye contour patches, and face care sets.
A care oil nourishes dry skin, with just a few drops in the evening.
What is a serum?
A serum is a lightweight treatment, either fluid or gel-like, that is more concentrated than a cream. It is applied in small amounts to clean skin before the day or night cream. Each serum targets a specific need: hydration, radiance, comfort for dry skins. You can use two, one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Serum or cream?
Both complement each other. The light serum provides concentrated active ingredients; the cream, which is richer, seals in hydration and protects the skin. For oily skin, a serum alone may be enough in summer; for dry skin, the cream is still essential on top.
How to apply a serum?
Put a few drops in the palm of your hand or directly on your face, then gently tap with your fingertips from the centre to the outside, without rubbing. Wait for it to absorb before applying the cream. In the morning, finish with sun protection.
Caring oils
Facial oils, made from plant oils, nourish and soften dry skin. A few drops are enough in the evening, either alone or mixed with cream. Contrary to popular belief, some lightweight oils are also suitable for combination skin.
Eye patches
Eye patches, made of hydrogel, are placed under the eyes for a few minutes. They provide a refreshing sensation, appreciated in the morning. When kept in the fridge, they are even more refreshing.
Skincare sets
A skincare set usually includes several complementary products or accessories: a great gift idea or a way to explore a complete routine. Check that it matches your skin type.
The complete routine
First, cleanse your skin with a face cleanser, apply the serum, then a day cream. Once a week, a mask completes the routine.
Storing your products
Keep serums away from light and heat, tightly closed. Follow the shelf life after opening stated on the packaging, and avoid putting fingers in the bottle.

Frequently asked questions
Can you use a serum morning and evening?
Yes, depending on the serum: some are designed for day use, others for night. Read the instructions for use.
How many drops of serum should you apply?
Two to four drops are enough for the whole face. A serum should be measured sparingly.
Should you apply a cream after the serum?
Usually, yes: the cream seals in hydration. For oily skin in summer, a serum alone may be sufficient.
Does a facial oil suit oily skin?
Some lightweight oils do, yes. Try it on a small area before adopting it.
At what age should you start using a serum?
There is no minimum age: it all depends on the skin's needs. A hydrating serum is suitable as soon as the skin feels tight.
