If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone! Ultimately, serum is a product that is generally water-based and when applied to the skin can penetrate deeply and target skincare concerns like wrinkles. It will often contain moisturising ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

Serums have a number of benefits. As they’re so light, they don’t feel too heavy on your skin and absorb fast, while they soothe sensitive skin too, so they’re often a good choice for people with oily or blemish-prone skin. They nourish skin while preventing dryness and offer a glowing finish, while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – these small bottles can be pretty powerful!

Not penetrating the skin but mostly just sitting on top of it and not containing biologically active components, like nice fatty acids and vitamins meanthat mineral oil does not "nourish" the skin in the way plant oils do.

L’Oréal’s story begins in 1909 when Eugène Schueller, a young chemist, developed the first synthetic hair dye, which he called Oréale. Schueller decided to sell to the hair dye to Parisian hairdressers, and he formed his company in 1919. The guiding principles of his company, which eventually became L’Oréal, were research and innovation in the field of beauty. Over the years, the brand expanded from hair care products to perfumes, cosmetics, and skin care products. Today, L’Oréal is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-quality cosmetics and perfumes.
