Is a Serum or Moisturiser Better?

The question of whether a serum or moisturiser is better is a common one that we hear a lot in various shapes or forms. The answer is that both of them are as good as each other but in different ways. A good serum like our Performance Face Serum excels in anti-ageing with its light weight formula that is packed full of natural actives and extracts to boost skin in many ways. It contains a line smoothing peptide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, plus a whole host of skin boosting plant extracts and oils. A serum is all about correcting and improving the skin. A good face cream like our Active Dew Cream for dry skin and our Matt Formula Face Cream for oilier skin types offer some of the same benefits as a serum, but mainly focus on all round nourishment, hydration and protection. So they are both as good as each other in terms of the benefits that they have to offer, and we could not say that one is better than the other.

Having said the above, if you are only able to use one of these products then we would pick the moisturiser. This is because it still has anti-ageing but also offers long-lasting moisture to the face and neck. Good face creams then give a kind of invisible protection that keeps all the good stuff in and the unwanted things out. This means the face has ongoing goodness and moisture and also has some protection from cold weather and pollution.

When answering the question of which is better the truth is that both serums and moisturisers are key components of a good skincare routine. They actually work really work together to give skin the ultimate anti-ageing protection. So always try to use both together, which we feel is affordable with Nakin’s anti-ageing face product range.

Serums can be helpful for treating specific skin concerns, such as redness, dullness or wrinkles. Serums like ours contain active ingredients that work to target these issues. It also includes antioxidants and other hydrating agents that help to nourish and protect the skin.

On the other hand, moisturisers provide essential hydration and nourishment. Moisturisers should be applied after serum but before applying makeup in order to prevent damage from makeup products. Additionally, they can help reduce the appearance of fine lines by plumping up the skin’s surface with hydration.

Both serums and moisturisers have their own unique benefits, so the best choice will depend on your individual skin type and needs. Consider using both of them to help determine which product is right for you or see how they benefit skin together.. Additionally, it is important to remember that both products should be used daily in order to see optimal results. With regular use of both serums and moisturisers, you can help keep your skin looking healthy, vibrant and youthful.
