Serum & Essence

Serums and essences are lightweight leave-on products applied after cleansing and before moisturiser. They carry the highest ingredient concentrations in a routine, which is why this section is grouped by active ingredient rather than by skin type.

What to compare

Bottle sizes here are small, so compare price per millilitre. Concentration is often stated on the label and is the more meaningful figure than the volume. Dropper, pump and ampoule formats all appear across the range.
