Serums 101: Esthetician Tips

Serums are an easy and effective way to take your skin care routine to the next level and target specific skin concerns.

The goPure original trio of serums are a great starting place for anyone new to serums and ready to level up their skin care routine. The trio has serums ideal for day and night and they pair perfectly with your other goPure products.

Serums are used after cleansing and toning the skin in order to target specific skin concerns. After using your serums, you can use your booster products like your 10% Niacinamide Booster and Youth Glow Eye Gel. Always finish with your moisturizer of choice to seal in all the products, and your skin is ready to GLOW!

I too am really liking your products. They have helped a lot for my dry skin and wrinkles. I have a lot of sun damage, but they make my skin much better and I am 70 years old!

Hello, I like your products and how they make my skin feel. Is is necessary to let Vitamin C serum dry on skin before using hyaluronic acid?

Hello Suzanne,

The Hyaluronic Acid Serum should be applied to moist/damp skin. We would suggest when you apply the Vitamin C Serum allow 30 up to 60 seconds for your skin to fully absorb the serum but it shouldn’t dry before applying the Hyaluronic Acid Serum so your face is still a bit damp from the Vitamin C Serum. If you aren’t using a Vitamin C Serum before the Hyaluronic Acid Serum, you may just spritz or damp your face with a bit of water before applying Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Thank you, Maya gopure beauty

Hello…Re: Retinol…if says apply after cleansing. Should it say after cleansing and toning?
———
goPure Beauty replied:
Yes, that is correct since toning is part of the cleansing process, prepping your skin to absorb the serums and maximize its benefits. 💚

Thank you, Maya gopure beauty
