Common questions about serums for oily skin and dark spots
Before applying a new serum all over your face, place a small amount on a discreet area such as along the jawline, behind the ear, or on a small patch of the forehead. Do this once a day for two or three days in a row. If you are using a potentially more irritating active like a retinoid or a higher‑strength acid, extend the patch test to about a week. During this time, watch for signs like intense burning, swelling, blistering, or a very itchy rash, which mean the product is not suiting you. Mild, short‑lived tingling with some actives can be normal, but it should not get worse with each use. If the patch test goes well, start using the serum on the whole face but still only a couple of times per week at first, and increase slowly if your skin remains comfortable.
