What is the Difference Between a Serum and a Facial Oil?

When it comes to skincare, it is essential to understand the difference between a serum and a facial oil. A serum is a lightweight, concentrated formula that penetrates deep into the skin, delivering targeted active ingredients. A facial oil, on the other hand, acts as a protective barrier, locking in moisture and providing essential nutrients to the skin. At Skøn Skincare, we use only documented active ingredients in our products to ensure you receive the most effective and clean skincare.

Find Your Perfect Serum or Oil

If you're still unsure which serum or oil is best for you, consider the following:

• Do you have dry, mature skin? → Try Restoring Face Serum, Nourishing Face Serum Oil Chamomile, or A Vitamin Facial Oil.

• Do you have visible pores or uneven skin texture? → Silky Smooth Serum.

• Do you want a skin-rejuvenating effect? → Triple Serum Oil, Triple Anti-Age Lifting Serum, or A Vitamin Facial Oil.

• Do you need a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil? → Baobab Facial Oil or Vitamin A Facial Oil.

• Are you looking for a versatile oil for both skin and hair? → Argan Multi-Oil.

We hope this guide helps you find the perfect serum or oil for your needs! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. 💛
