Tinted Serum

It depends on the tinted serums. Some are indeed suitable for every skin type, including sensitive skin, such as Typology’s tinted serum.

According to its formulation, the tinted serum offers light-to-moderate coverage of skin imperfections. This treatment has been primarily designed to deliver light coverage.

No, even though it contains active ingredients that nourish the skin, a tinted serum does not replace a day cream, which hydrates, protects and seals in moisture. The application of a tinted serum must be preceded by a day cream.

The tinted serum provides light coverage and contains active ingredients to care for the skin, whereas a classic foundation offers greater coverage but is not formulated to hydrate or nourish the skin.

To use a tinted serum, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin as the final step in your skincare routine. Then spread the formulation uniformly across the face using your fingers, a brush or a sponge.

It is not strictly necessary, but a lightweight powder can help to mattify shiny areas if needed after applying a tinted serum.

These two products are similar, but tinted serums typically feature a lighter texture and a higher concentration of skincare actives than BB creams.

A tinted serum can help to brighten the under-eye area, but it does not provide the coverage of a concealer.

Once opened, a tinted serum generally remains stable for between six and twelve months. You can verify this by referring to the PAO (Period After Opening) marked on the product.
