Serums vs. Moisturizer has always been a topic of debate in the world of beauty care. All over the world, women seeking a solution to treat their prematurely aging skin have been wondering which of these two amazing beauty products is more effective. What is it about these silky serums that has the world of beauty care a-buzz? Well, for today’s post, Queen Odelia lays it all out for you to see.

Moisturizers basically tackle the outer-most layers of the skin and protect them from dryness. They also serve another important purpose. Moisturizers create a barrier on your skin that protects you from harmful outside elements that can cause dryness or irritation.

Facial serums are highly concentrated active ingredients all bottled up for your daily usage and enjoyment. They are known to contain the most potent of all anti-aging ingredients, including various antioxidants and acids – all of which is key for brighter, glowing skin.

We had our dermatologists at Queen Odelia do some research as to the cost of serums, and compare it to the average cost of facial moisturizers. We were as surprised as you are going to be when you hear the results! According to our team of expert dermatologists, paying the difference actually makes a difference! Because active ingredients are more expensive than the thickeners found in cheaper brands and moisturizers, serums that don’t cost money are not actually worth your money.

Still, our dermatologists strongly recommend the combined use of both moisturizers and serums. They claim that merely applying facial serums is just not enough to strengthen the skin. Adding your favorite moisturizing day cream to your daily beauty-care routine can really improve the serum’s performance and do wonders for your skin.
