You can skip serum for oily skin if you don't have any specific skin concerns you want to address. Keeping your skincare routine simple can be beneficial for oily skin. However, if you struggle with acne, hyperpigmentation, or other issues, a serum with active ingredients can be more effective than just using moisturizer alone.
Here are some key points to consider:
- Serums target specific concerns: Serums are formulated with high concentrations of active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or hyaluronic acid to address specific skin concerns like acne, wrinkles, or dryness.
- Moisturizers hydrate: Moisturizers provide hydration and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss.
- Oily skin needs hydration: Although oily skin produces more sebum (oil), it still needs hydration, which can be provided by a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer.
If you choose to skip serum, ensure you use a good moisturizer that provides adequate hydration for your oily skin.
