Essence VS Serum: What's the real difference between the two? (Spoiler: it's not what you expect) 🤫

What's the difference between an essence and a serum? Which one is the most effective? In this video I discuss one of the biggest myths surrounding Korean Beauty: the difference between essence and serum (spoiler: it's not what you expect). You might have heard from some foreign beauty magazines that essences are watery cosmetic products from Asia that are vastly different from a serum. But then why some essences feel so similar to a serum? Today I want to debunk this myth and analyse why beauty brands name their products in a certain way.
