How to Choose the Right Serum for Your Skin Type β ROI's Expert Guide
Serums can transform your skin β but only if you pick the right one. At ROI's, we know that no two skin types are the same, especially when dealing with India's unique climate challenges. That's why we created this comprehensive guide to help you choose between our 15% Vitamin C Serum and Niacinamide Serum, based on your unique skin needs.
First, Know Your Skin Type
Before choosing a serum, ask yourself these key questions:
- Is your skin oily, dry, sensitive, or combination?
- Do you have acne, pigmentation, dullness, or fine lines?
- How does your skin react to new products?
- How does humidity and pollution affect your skin?
For Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Go for Niacinamide
If your skin feels greasy, breaks out easily, or has visible pores (common in India's humid climate), choose:
Why it works for Indian skin:
- Regulates excess oil production in humid weather
- Calms redness & breakouts caused by pollution
- Shrinks the appearance of enlarged pores
- Light, non-comedogenic formula that won't clog pores
- Strengthens skin barrier against environmental damage
For Dull or Pigmented Skin: Choose Vitamin C
If your skin lacks glow, has dark spots from sun exposure, or looks tired from pollution, try:
π ROI's 15% Vitamin C Serum
Why it works for Indian skin:
- Brightens skin tone and fights dullness
- Fades dark spots & sun damage from UV exposure
- Boosts collagen production for firmer skin
- Provides antioxidant protection against pollution
- Adds natural radiance and healthy glow
For Sensitive or Reactive Skin: Start with Niacinamide
If your skin stings easily, gets red, or feels irritated by harsh weather or products, Niacinamide is the gentler option to start with. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it perfect for sensitive Indian skin.
Once your skin barrier is stronger and more resilient, you can gradually introduce Vitamin C later.
For Combination Skin: Use Both Strategically
Many people in India have combination skin due to climate variations. Here's how to use both serums:
- T-zone (oily areas): Focus Niacinamide on forehead, nose, and chin
- Cheeks (drier areas): Apply Vitamin C for brightness and protection
- Alternatively: Use Vitamin C in the morning, Niacinamide at night
For Dry or Mature Skin: Vitamin C First
If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or shows signs of aging, start with Vitamin C to boost collagen and radiance. Follow with a good moisturizer to lock in hydration.
