If you’re a skincare junkie you probably know the difference between these products. Some women prefer a skincare serum, while others prefer essence. While others don’t know the difference and think they are the same products. Want to know the main difference between essence and serum? Well ladies, let’s dive deep and get the information about these two amazing products!
What is Essence?
Essence is a watery liquid, mildly concentrated with active ingredients that act on the skin to enhance the natural glow, provide hydration, and helps to even out the skin tone and texture. This can be applied by adding a few drops to the skin and then massaging it thoroughly. This product is used after cleansing but before using a moisturizer. An essence will help you nourish and hydrate your skin.
Benefits of Using Essence
An essence helps in hydrating your skin and helps your cells to regenerate. This product sinks into the skin quickly and treats skin at a cellular level, specifically targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin tones.
How to Apply it?
Pour 3-4 drops on your face and tap the product gently into your skin with your fingertips.
When to Apply it?
Morning or Evening, after toner and before serums
What is Serum?
A serum is a lot thicker than essence and sometimes it has a gel-like texture. It is highly concentrated with powerful ingredients that help in nourishing, hydrating, and helps with other skin issues. Some specific serums help the skin to get rid of wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Using face serum regularly can battle against fine lines and wrinkles, as well as hyperpigmentation.
Benefits of Using Serum
Serum helps in nourishing the skin and fight against symptoms of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. They provide antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes, other beneficial nutrients, which fight against free radical damage, skin pigmentation, acne, and scarring.

What are the Differences Between Essence and Serum?
Texture:
By looking at them you can tell that their texture is a lot different. An essence is pretty light watery and reminds people of toner, while a serum is thick and has a gel-like texture. You will understand this difference when you run the products through your fingers and definitely when you apply them to your skin.
Used for Different age Groups
An essence is generally used by younger women since it can do wonders for youthful skin. On the other hand, serums are often used by mature women and those who want to make significant changes to their skin texture in a short period of time.
Ingredients:
An essence is generally made with natural ingredients like aloe vera, water, and fruit extracts. Serums generally have some glycerin, seed oils, glycol, and other extracts.
