Get ready for a skincare showdown between Serum and Cream to know which one is better.

Texture

• Serums are a splash of freshness on the face as they are light in weight and have a water-based solution.
• Creams are thick in nature and have an oil based solution. Feels like a giant hug on the face.

Concentration

• Serums are stronger as they have a higher concentration of ingredients.
• Creams balance hydration with a touch of protection.

Absorption

• Serums always win the race as they are fast and go straight into the skin.
• Creams are slow in providing the benefits to the skin. They take a lot of time to get absorbed.

Focus on the target

• Serums are designed for specific issues like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dryness, acne, etc.
• Creams provide intense moisture and hydration to the skin.

Skin type

Serums are beneficial for all skin types.

• Creams are best suited for dry skin, giving intense hydration. If applied on oily skin, it will lead to acne as they add more oil.
• Serums are for skin concerns and creams provide overall happiness to your skin. Both are good at their jobs.
