Apply at Night Only
While this may seem like an obvious tip, it’s important not to use your night serum during the day because, as mentioned, many formulas contain ingredients that make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to couple your day serum with sun protection with a minimum SPF of 30.Don’t Overdo It
It can be challenging to train your brain only to use a minimal amount of serum, but remember that a little goes a long way as it’s more concentrated. As a general rule of thumb, use two pumps (a pea-sized amount) or 3-4 drops if you’re using a dropper formula. You don’t need to coat your entire face due to the potency. Simply gently pat the required amount of serum into the skin with your fingertips. Wait approximately 30-60 seconds before applying your night cream.Be Patient
There’s no such thing as a quick fix, and consistency is vital if you want to see results — which can take at least 4-6 weeks in most cases. Don’t give up. Stick with it, and you’ll see an improvement over time, providing you’re using a nighttime serum with a high concentration of quality ingredients suited for your skin type.
