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!

Thank you for the information. I have been using these products for two years and LOVE them, and how they make my skin feel and look. It’s good to get a ‘reminder’ article like this occasionally, to help me refocus. Happy New Year!
