Is beauty serum an essence?

Beauty serum and essence are common skin care products on the market. I believe that many women do not know much about the differences and similarities between these two products. Some even say that beauty serum should be used instead of essence. Is this skin care method correct?

Is beauty serum an essence?

Beauty serum is not essence.

Beauty serums are relatively thin and are mostly in liquid form. The essence is relatively viscous and comes in two forms: water-based and oily. It has the functions of removing aging skin cuticles, effectively moisturizing, astringing and controlling oil, and removing spots and whitening the skin. The essence can play the role of anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, removing spots and whitening.

The difference between beauty serum and essence

1. Different texture: Beauty essence is relatively thin and mostly in liquid form, and can be regarded as a high-concentration essence-type toner. Essence is relatively viscous and is mainly divided into two types: water-based and oily. It is made by extracting high-nutrient substances and then concentrating them.

2. Different functions: Beauty serum has the functions of removing aging cuticles, highly efficient moisturizing, astringent and oil control, freckle removal and whitening, while essence has the functions of anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, whitening and freckle removal.

3. Different order of use: Generally, beauty serum is used before essence. Using beauty serum can help exfoliate the skin and facilitate the absorption of the essence used later.

How to use beauty serum

The functions of beauty serums are very different, so the procedures or methods of use are also different. There are generally three ways to use it.

The first one: cleansing → beauty serum → toner, and then follow up with maintenance.

Purpose: Through the combination of massage and other techniques, the skin's ability to absorb subsequent skin care products can be greatly enhanced.

The second method: toner → beauty essence → lotion, and then carry out follow-up maintenance.

Purpose: It has the same effect as essence, and contains ingredients with restorative or highly nutritional effects.

The third method: toner → beauty serum → essence, and then carry out follow-up maintenance.

Purpose: As the last step of cleansing, it can activate the skin and enhance the skin's ability to absorb subsequent products. It can be applied repeatedly with cotton pads.
