Why I Use a Serum Under Moisturizer, and What You're Missing If You Don't

updated August 2024
My "serum story" begins at Avon Repfest in Nashville, August 2017. I have used ANEW eye, day and night creams consistently for decades. Every once in a while. when Avon would introduce a treatment serum, I would try it, usually in place of my night cream. I wouldn't notice a difference, and I would go back to the night cream. It just didn't make sense to me to add a treatment product under a moisturizer that already had so many benefits.

Over the years, as the ravages of time and sun have made their marks on my face, I've developed some persistent dry skin patches on my nose and cheeks. No matter what products I used, they stayed, challenging the application of makeup with their flaking. I even had them checked by a doctor to make sure they weren't more disastrous.

In my Repfest "Swag Bag", I received some trial sizes of the ANEW Power Serum. And, in one of my training classes, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan shared using the Power Serum to smooth the skin before makeup. So, that night, and twice a day for the rest of my trip, I used the serum under my moisturizer. I didn't notice a difference right away, but by the time I got home 3 days later, there were NO dry patches on my face!

It's been a couple years since I went to Repfest. I have continued using the serum twice daily under my ANEW moisturizers, and even during the dry Winter months have had no return of those pesky dry patches. Since that time, Avon has introduced a few more serums, so there is now a product for everyone, regardless of age or skin type.
