Is it okay to apply just the serum? A summary of pros, cons, and precautions.

Perhaps because simplifying skincare routines is the trend
I think I once wondered if it would be okay to just apply serum lol
On busy and lazy days, there were many times when I wanted to skip everything and just apply serum...
It seems like there are pros and cons depending on your skin type!

 

 

 

✅ Advantages of applying only serum

1. Intensive care available
Highly concentrated for specific concerns such as wrinkles, whitening, and hydration

 

2. Lightweight feel
Lightweight and easy to use in summer or on oily skin

 

3. Simple routine
It's great for a busy morning routine because you can finish quickly while skipping several steps.

 

 

 

⚠️ Disadvantages of applying only serum

1. Lack of moisture

It is difficult to form a protective barrier on the skin, so it may be insufficient to prevent moisture evaporation.

 

2. Potential to cause dryness
Dry skin, in particular, can easily feel tight or rough with serum alone.

 

3. Effects vary depending on skin type
It's fine for oily/combination skin, but For sensitive/dry skin, use the cream step. Additional recommendations

 

 

 

In this case, I recommend the serum + lotion/cream combination.

- Like winter dry season

- Dry or sensitive When it is skin
- skin barrier When this weakens

 

 

Skin types vary from person to person,

Even if you only apply the serum If there is no dryness or tightness

I heard that using the serum on its own is fine too!

 

I have combination skin, so if I only apply serum, my skin feels tight right away...

I always tend to finish with a cream haha.

For those with extremely oily skin, it is actually better to just apply toner and serum.

Your skin might feel more comfortable! 😊🌿
