Let’s be honest: most guys aren’t sure what a serum actually does—let alone how to use it.
But here’s the truth: if you’re dealing with breakouts, oily skin, or rough texture, a serum is the most powerful product in your arsenal. And it only takes 30 seconds.
The catch? It only works if you use it the right way.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to apply serum properly—so you actually see results.
🧴 First, What Is a Serum?
A face serum is a lightweight, concentrated treatment that delivers active ingredients deep into your skin. Unlike a moisturizer or cleanser, it’s designed to target specific problems like:
-
Acne and clogged pores
-
Oil control
-
Redness or irritation
-
Uneven tone or texture
DAPR Clear Skin Serum, for example, is formulated specifically for men’s thicker, oilier skin—and contains ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, green tea extract, and more.
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Apply Face Serum Correctly
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin (AM + PM)
Start with a clean face. Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to remove oil, dirt, and sweat.
Why it matters:
Serum works best on clean skin so the ingredients can absorb properly.
Step 2: Pat Your Skin Dry
Gently pat (don’t rub) your face with a clean towel. Your skin should be dry but still slightly damp—this helps with absorption.
Step 3: Dispense the Right Amount
Use 1–2 pumps of serum. That’s all you need. More doesn’t mean better—it just means waste.
Step 4: Apply Evenly Across Your Face
-
Rub the serum between your fingers
-
Gently press it into your skin—forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin
-
Avoid your eyes, but cover the rest of your face and neck
Let it sit for 30–60 seconds to absorb fully.
Step 5: Follow With a Moisturizer (Optional)
If your skin feels dry or tight, use a light, oil-free moisturizer. This locks in the serum’s benefits and keeps your skin balanced.
⏰ When to Apply Serum

Morning: To control oil, calm redness, and protect against daily stress
-
