What is the difference between a serum, an ampoule and an essence?
They are all light, water-based treatment steps used after toner and before moisturiser. Essences are the thinnest and focus on hydration. Serums carry a higher amount of one or two active ingredients for a specific concern. Ampoules and shots are usually the most concentrated, often sold in small bottles. In practice, choose by ingredient and texture rather than by name.
How do I use a face serum?
- Cleanse, then apply toner.
- Use 2–3 drops of serum on slightly damp skin and press it in.
- Wait a minute, then apply moisturiser.
- In the morning, finish with SPF50+ — this matters most with vitamin C, acids and retinal.
How to use vitamin C serum
Use in the morning under sunscreen. Start every other day if your skin is sensitive.
How to use niacinamide serum
Morning, night or both. It suits almost every skin type and layers well with other serums.
How to use retinol or retinal serum
Night only, two or three times a week at first, always followed by moisturiser and next-day sunscreen.
Can I use more than one serum at a time?
Yes, two is plenty. Apply the thinnest first. Good pairs are niacinamide + hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C in the morning + retinal at night. Avoid stacking several strong actives (retinal, acids, high-strength vitamin C) in the same routine, which can irritate the skin.
Which Korean serums are trending in Pakistan right now?
Our most-asked-about serums this season are ANUA Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum, Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot 30ml, celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster 15ml, Medicube AGE-R Vita C Pro Ampoule 20ml and Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum 30ml. Booster "shots" with PDRN and retinal are the big viral trend from Seoul.

Frequently asked questions
Which Korean serum is best in Pakistan?
It depends on your concern. ANUA Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum is a popular pick for dark spots and uneven tone, Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot for dull skin, celimax Retinol Shot for fine lines, and COSRX Hyaluronic Acid 3 Serum for dehydrated skin. All are original stock with Cash on Delivery.
What is a good niacinamide serum?
Good niacinamide serums include ANUA Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum, COSRX The Niacinamide 15 Serum and Jumiso Niacinamide 20 Serum. Niacinamide helps with oiliness, pores, redness and the look of marks. Start with a lower strength if your skin is sensitive, and use it morning, night or both.
How do I use vitamin C serum?
Apply two or three drops of vitamin C serum in the morning after cleansing and toner, let it absorb, then apply moisturiser and SPF50+ sunscreen. If your skin is sensitive, start every other day. Keep the bottle closed and away from heat and sunlight so the formula stays fresh.
Can I use niacinamide and vitamin C together?
Yes. The old advice to keep them apart comes from early lab tests that do not reflect modern formulas. Many people use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night, or layer them together. If you notice redness or stinging, separate them into different routines.
How long does a serum take to show results?
Hydrating serums feel effective straight away. Brightening serums with vitamin C, niacinamide or tranexamic acid usually take four to eight weeks of daily use to show a visible difference in tone and marks. Retinal and retinol serums take about eight to twelve weeks. Daily sunscreen is essential for all of them.
Should I use serum before or after moisturiser?
Before. Serums are thinner and should go on after cleansing and toner, so they reach the skin first. Moisturiser goes on top to seal everything in, and sunscreen is the last step in the morning.
Are these Korean serums original?
Yes. Korean Skincare Pakistan is an authorised seller of major 40+ K-beauty brands. Every serum is bought from official brand manufacturers or authorised distributors, batch-code verified at our Seoul warehouse and shipped by air to Pakistan, delivered in 5–7 days with Cash on Delivery.
