Face Serums for Beginners

Suits

Every routine in this edit, as the supporting layer: dehydrated skin, active heavy routines that need a buffer, and beginners who want a premium serum with no adjustment period.

Skip if

You want a serum that visibly resurfaces or renews on its own. Hydration is the whole brief here, by design.

Suits

Readers whose first concern is a stronger feeling moisture barrier and a calmer base for everything layered after. Génifique is designed as the first serum step, under more targeted products.

Skip if

You avoid fragrance and alcohol in leave on products. Both appear in the published ingredient list, fragrance included.

Suits

Readers who want one proven, do everything serum as the centre of the routine: hydration, the look of lines, tone and radiance addressed in a single step, morning and evening.

Skip if

You want a targeted single active at a declared strength, such as a retinol or a strong acid. This is a broad renewal complex, not a specialist treatment.

Suits

Readers who want brightening with a firming angle from a professional channel formula, and who will use a serum twice daily long enough to finish a large bottle.

Skip if

You already own it from a vitamin C shortlist and want a different mechanism. This is the same formula, in the bigger size.
