Soothing Serum

Soothing serums are lightweight leave-on products formulated for sensitive, dehydrated or redness-prone skin. Common formulas may contain glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, niacinamide or other moisturising and barrier-supporting ingredients, with fragrance-free options for people who prefer simpler skincare. Apply the serum after cleansing and before moisturiser, following the frequency stated on the label. A serum can provide lightweight hydration, but dry skin may still require a cream or ointment to retain moisture. Avoid layering it with several strong exfoliants or retinoids when the skin is already irritated, and discontinue use if stinging or redness persists.
