Face Serums & Facial Oils

 

Serums and facial oils are the powerhouse products in any skincare routine. These concentrated, lightweight treatments deliver high doses of active ingredients deep into the skin, targeting specific concerns with precision that moisturisers alone cannot achieve. At Amelia Nour, our serums and oils collection brings together the most effective formulas from leading clean beauty brands.

Face serums are water-based, fast-absorbing treatments packed with actives like vitamin C for brightening, hyaluronic acid for hydration, retinol for anti-ageing and niacinamide for pore refinement. Their small molecular structure allows them to penetrate deeply, delivering ingredients exactly where they are needed.

Facial oils work differently but equally effectively. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and fat-soluble vitamins, they nourish and strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture and deliver a luminous, healthy glow. Popular facial oils include rosehip for regeneration, argan for nourishment and squalane for lightweight moisture.

Many skincare experts recommend using both a serum and an oil in your routine. Apply your water-based serum first, allowing it to absorb, then follow with a few drops of facial oil to seal in the benefits and add an extra layer of nourishment.

Our edit includes options for every skin type and concern. Explore below and discover the targeted treatments that will elevate your skincare results.

Your Questions, Answered

What is the difference between a face serum and a facial oil?

Serums are water-based, fast-absorbing and deliver active ingredients like vitamin C or retinol deep into the skin. Facial oils are lipid-based, providing nourishment, barrier repair and a protective seal. They work differently and are most effective when used together serum first, then oil.

Which facial oil is best for my skin type?

Dry skin loves rich oils like argan and avocado. Oily and acne-prone skin suits lightweight, non-comedogenic oils like squalane, jojoba or rosehip. Mature skin benefits from regenerating oils like rosehip or marula. Always patch-test a new oil first.

Can I use facial oil if I have oily skin?

Yes. It sounds counterintuitive, but certain lightweight facial oils like jojoba and squalane can actually help regulate your skin's oil production. They mimic the skin's natural sebum, signalling that enough oil is present, which can reduce excess shine over time.

Should I apply serum or oil first?

Always apply serum first. Serums are water-based and absorb quickly, delivering actives deep into the skin. Facial oils are thicker and create a barrier on the surface. If you apply oil first, the serum cannot penetrate effectively. Think thin-to-thick layering.

How often should I use face serums and oils?

Most serums can be used twice daily, morning and evening. Facial oils are often best at night when your skin repairs itself, though lightweight oils can be used in the morning too. Start with once daily and build up as your skin adjusts.
