The what, why and how of serums
Serums are a great way to personalise your at-home skincare routine – and get the results you’re after.
“Often our surface skin concerns are a result of what is happening in the deeper layers. The small molecules in serums are able to penetrate deeper into these areas and deliver the right ingredients,” says endota educator, Kimberley Duck.
Packed with active ingredients, serums are absorbed quickly and hydrate instantly – so you can use less moisturiser and have noticeable results, faster.

Adding serums to your routine
Getting the most out of your serum is easy. Simply cleanse, apply your eye care, then your serum. Finish with moisturiser, and SPF during the day.
“It is important not to mix your serum with moisturiser as the skin responds best to layering and identifying with ingredients in steps,” Kimberley advises.
For best results, use morning and night, gently pressing into the skin with fingertips, rather than rubbing for optimal absorption.
“A jade roller works even better at infusing the serum faster into the skin and stimulating circulation,” Kimberley says.
Make sure you chat to your endota therapists about the active ingredients present in your serum, as some can make skin more sensitive or cause irritation if you apply too much too soon.
“For first time serum users, we recommend our Age Defying Retinol Serum applied once or twice a week. Then slowly build up to a more regular daily use as your skin strength builds,” Kimberley suggests.
“However, retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so you’ll have to make sure you use enough SPF during the day.”
Chat to your endota therapist to find out more about our serums, and determine which product will address your skin’s needs the best.
