Let's be real. If your skincare routine only goes as far as face wash, moisturiser and sunscreen, you're playing it safe. But if you want that glow, that your skin looks amazing type of vibe, there's one product you simply can't skip: a face serum. Face serums are the big guns of skincare. Light as air but loaded with heavy-hitting ingredients, they penetrate deep to deal with the things your moisturiser can't like acne, dullness, dark spots, fine lines, and dryness. Whatever drama your skin's got, there's a serum to fix it. What are they so great at? They're targeted, quick-acting, and designed to deliver visible results without the drama. If you're looking for something brightening, de-stressing or intensely hydrating, you'll find one that's a dream fit.
Now here's the good news: Nykaa's Pink Summer Sale starts on 9th May 2025, and it's time to stock up. The serums we rely on, the ones packed with radiance-boosting vitamins, firming peptides and repairing antioxidants, are all up for grabs. So here's your edit: great skin isn't all about cleaning and moisturising. It's about giving your skin what it really needs. And a serum? That's your express route to radiant, healthy, lit-from-within skin. Don't just play it safe, level up. Your best skin is one drop away.

FAQs
-
What exactly is a face serum, and how is it different from a moisturiser?
A serum is a lightweight skincare product with a high concentration of active ingredients. Unlike moisturisers, which lock in hydration, serums are designed to deeply penetrate the skin and target specific concerns like pigmentation, fine lines, or breakouts.
-
When should I apply a serum in my routine?
Always apply your serum after cleansing and before moisturising, both morning and night. Think of it as the treatment step: your moisturiser seals everything in, but the serum does the heavy lifting.
-
Can I use more than one serum?
Yes, you can layer serums if your skin needs a multi-targeted approach, just make sure the ingredients work well together. Start with the thinnest consistency first, and always patch test new combinations.
-
How long does it take to see results?
Some serums show visible results in just a few days, especially hydrating ones, while others, like anti-ageing or brightening formulas, may take 4–6 weeks with consistent use. Patience pays off!
