How much serum should I use?

Using too much or too little essence is not good. Using too little will have no effect, while using too much will easily cause acne due to overnutrition. Therefore, it is best to follow the dosage on the product instructions, and then make some adjustments based on actual circumstances. If it is a relatively oily essence, use less on the T-zone and a little more on the cheeks, while patting and massaging until absorbed by the skin. Generally, it is appropriate to use up one bottle in 3-6 months.

How many types of essences are there?

1. Plant essence---suitable for all skin types. The biggest advantage of plant essence is that it is less irritating and suitable for all skin types. Its main functions are to moisturize, hydrate, and balance water and oil. It is also the most reliable and popular type of essence. Especially for acne-prone skin, aloe vera extract has a certain effect on curing acne.

2. Fruit acid essence---please avoid it if you have sensitive skin. As the name suggests, the essence is made of fruit acid extracted from fruits. Its advantages are tightening pores and the well-known skin repair function. However, I have heard more than once from friends around me complaining about side effects due to excessive use, especially those with sensitive skin, please consciously avoid it. But it is suitable for girls with oily skin and combination skin.

3. Animal essence - good news for dry skin. Animal essence is mainly extracted from animals, including royal jelly essence, squalene and other essences. Its main functions are anti-wrinkle and anti-drying. It has high nutritional value and good moisturizing effect. However, precisely because it is extracted from animals, the fat and oil content is relatively high, so it is not suitable for oily skin, but is good news for dry skin.

4. Vitamin essence---a good helper for skin whitening. The importance of vitamins to the human body is self-evident, but different vitamins have different effects. For example, vitamin C and E have stronger functions on whitening. Suitable for tired skin and girls who need whitening. But one thing to note is that essences with whitening effects should only be used at night, otherwise it is easy to cause pigmentation accumulation under the exposure to ultraviolet rays and UVA during the day, which will backfire.

PS: If you have skin problems and want to whiten and remove acne, you can use different essences at different times, but no more than two essences at a time. It is recommended to use whitening essence at night.
