Collection: Serums for Face, Eyes & Neck

Hydration is a critical step in any skincare routine. No matter what your skin type, hydration is going to take the comfort and health of your skin to the next level. Browse through Skin Virtue’s wide range of mists, serums and moisturizers to get relief from tight skin or just to get some much-needed hydration.

Why are serums essential in a skincare routine?

Good serums are like your skin's power shots. They are a simple way of introducing additional active elements into your skin without the fuss of heavy layers from other products. As a result, your skin is never overloaded. Water-based serums, like face mists, usually contain a higher number of humectants. This element draws more water to the skin and hydrates deeply. Compared with emollients, humectants nourish the skin beyond the top layer. This kind of better hydration means that your skin cells are functioning optimally. To add to your serums, use a moisturiser that contains both humectants and emollients. Together, they can hydrate and lock in the moisture.

Cleansers, toners, and moisturisers are the ABCs of skincare. Those three items form the basis of a good skin regimen. While these products will be chosen based on your skin type and needs, they don't have the same level of precision and specialised activity as a serum.

Serums work as hydration boosters and can deliver a high concentration of skin-quenching hyaluronic acid, skin restoring niacinamide, or a megadose of vitamin C to brighten and level your skin tone. A moisturiser seals in moisture, but a serum aids in delivering hydration.

AM vs PM

An important thing to remember is that the skin has various requirements during the day and at night. The skin is exposed to pollutants and UV radiation during the day, both of which are harmful to the skin. This is why serums designed for use during the day typically contain antioxidants to protect and moisturise the skin, like our Future Advanced Radiance Serum formulated with Hydrolysed Pearl and Botanical extracts for soothing antioxidant properties.

When you sleep, your skin accomplishes the majority of its heavy lifting, mending, rejuvenating, and regenerating. Most serums designed for night-time use also include light-sensitive chemicals such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) or retinoids, which aren't suited for daytime use. Our Pure Radiance Glow Serum has a hydrating and purifying effect and works as an AHA exfoliator to remove dead surface skin cells and encourage cell renewal and hydration. Night-time serums or products with AHA exfoliants are also recommended to be used more sparingly 2-3 times a week to not over-exfoliate your skin, on alternate nights feel free to use any serum that best suits your skin's needs.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Skin Virtue incorporate corneotherapeutic principles into its clinical treatment system?

Corneotherapy is the foundation of treating sensitive, reactive, and barrier-impaired skin. By focusing first on repairing and preserving the stratum corneum, we reduce inflammation, prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and re-establish skin homeostasis—essential prerequisites before introducing corrective treatments.

At Skin Virtue, corneotherapy forms the basis of Phase 1 in our structured 3-Phase System for clinical skincare:

  • Strengthens skin integrity using lamellar emulsions, biomimetic lipids, and barrier-restoring actives like niacinamide and NMFs.
  • Protects skin stem cells, promotes antioxidant defence, and supports long-term structural health.
  • Delivers focused actives for pigmentation, laxity, congestion, and visible ageing—without compromising sensitivity.

This phased approach ensures the skin is stabilised, resilient, and responsive—making it especially effective in clinical settings where inflammation and sensitivity are common.

Can Skin Virtue products be used alongside other clinical protocols and devices?

Yes. Skin Virtue complements most professional treatments, including microneedling, chemical peels, LED, and laser procedures. Our formulations are designed to support skin through pre-treatment prep, treatment, and post-treatment recovery without disrupting clinical outcomes.

What is Skin Virtue’s approach to treating acne in sensitive or sensitised skin types?

Rather than relying on aggressive actives, Skin Virtue targets acne by restoring microbiome balance, reducing inflammation, and gently managing sebum and congestion. The Super Clear collection supports oily and combination skin while maintaining barrier integrity—ideal for clients who cannot tolerate conventional acne treatments.

What makes Skin Virtue suitable for use on highly reactive or post-procedure skin?

Skin Virtue formulations are developed with a barrier-first philosophy, using biomimetic lipids, lamellar emulsions, and non-sensitising actives. Our products are free from common irritants and designed to support the skin at every stage of professional care—including immediately post-treatment. They calm inflammation, reduce TEWL, and accelerate skin recovery.

Are your products fragrance-free and non-comedogenic?

Our products contain dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic, anti-allergen fragrance that’s safe for sensitive skin. Every formula is rigorously tested for clinical tolerance, and we avoid comedogenic oils or sensitising agents that could trigger irritation or congestion.

How does Skin Virtue approach anti-ageing for sensitive or reactive skin types?

Anti-ageing in sensitive skin requires a careful balance—many traditional actives (like retinoids or acids) can trigger inflammation, barrier damage, or delayed recovery. Skin Virtue takes a gentle but effective approach through Phase 3: Targeted Correction of our 3-Phase System.

We use encapsulated delivery systems, biomimetic peptides, and antioxidant-rich actives that support collagen synthesis, firming, and cellular regeneration—without irritation. This is built on a foundation of Phase 1 corneotherapy and Phase 2 longevity support, ensuring the skin is first stabilised and resilient before introducing corrective age-supportive treatments.

The result is visibly firmer, smoother skin—achieved with barrier integrity intact.
