How to apply a face serum?
SENZA serums are 100% plant-based oil face serums, formulated exclusively with organic French oils.
They contain no water, no preservatives, and no synthetic active ingredients.
👉 Their role is not to force the skin to react, but to support its natural mechanisms.
When to apply a face serum?
A face serum is applied to clean skin, after water-based treatments (floral water, hydrosol, lotion), and before any sun protection in the morning. 👉 When it's an oil-based serum, like SENZA serums, it's recommended to apply it as the last step in your routine.How much face serum to use?
SENZA serums are concentrated: they are not diluted in water or filler active ingredients.
👉 A few drops are more than enough.
- Thin or sensitive skin: 2 drops
- Normal skin: 3 drops
- Dry skin: 4 drops maximum
Too much product will not work better: the skin can only absorb a certain amount.
Excess oil will remain on the surface, with an unpleasant shiny effect.

DISCOVERWhy apply a face serum to damp skin?
Applying an oil-based serum to slightly damp skin is not a minor detail; it's a key principle of cosmetic common sense.
On damp skin, the serum:
- spreads more evenly
- penetrates better into the hydrolipidic film
- contributes to better indirect hydration
👉 An oil does not hydrate in the strict sense.
However, it retains the water present on the skin's surface and limits its evaporation.
In summary:
water hydrates
oil retains water
That's why SENZA serums are ideally applied to slightly damp skin.
Face serum: before or after cream?
👉 After.
A vegetable oil forms a protective film on the skin's surface.
Once applied, the skin no longer properly absorbs water-based treatments.
Recommended application order:
- Cleanser
- Hydrosol / lotion
- Cream (if used)
- Oil face serum
SENZA serums can be used alone, in addition to an oil, or as a replacement for a usual oil.
🧠 Good to know — SENZA Expertise
A vegetable oil does not hydrate in the strict sense. It prevents water from evaporating and supports the skin barrier. Hence the importance of applying it to slightly damp skin.
