Why you need to “seal” serum with cream
Any gel-based product contains a high percentage of water in its composition, so applying it gives an immediate feeling of moisture and even coolness. The cooling effect is explained by the process of water evaporation from the skin’s surface. As a result, only a mesh of gel-forming molecules remains, which can give a sensation of tightness, especially if the skin is dry. If the skin is oily, the gel can form an emulsion with sebum directly on the skin, slowing down the evaporation of moisture and preventing the sensation of tightness.
To slow down the process of water evaporation, it is recommended to “seal” the serum with a cream, especially if you have dry or compromised skin. This method is essential for all those with dry or compromised skin. Remember that in such cases, our goal is to prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), so the right serum can work wonders. Our moisturizing “Plump&Glow Serum” or peptide-based “Firming Complex Serum,” when applied to the skin before using a cream, can positively transform its condition.
