Do you use them all over your face or just for certain dry parts that need it?

I keep reading that you only need a few drops but I don't find that myself if I'm doing my face and neck.

I'm using the Plantae Rosehip Fruit and Seed Serum at the moment but I've got a couple of other ones here. Just wondering if it's just that my skin is really really dry or I'm not using it correctly.

At the moment I use mine on my problem areas, nose, under eye and forehead.

I use them all over my face. I have jojoba oil, rosehip oil and some midnight concentrate from Keihls, plus I had samples of all of the Oasis serums. I use between 3-5 drops as I find that less than 3 doesn't cover anything very well, but I love using them!

I use my serum all over my face and neck.  I'm currently using Oasis' Soothing Serum and find it works well instead of a night cream (I have oily skin, so adding a night cream on top of the serum would be overload for my skin).

I use Oasis straight up, and just a few drops, on blemished areas.

Thanks for the feedback ladies :) 

I have the Essano rosehip oil and Acai Berry antioxident oil here too, not so keen on that one so I think I'll be using that on my body rather than my face. It's fun comparing them though. I have the little trial size Antipodes Joyous Night Replenishing Serum too, but haven't tried that one yet. I'm thinking I should give them a month each and see how my skin is. 

It feels great in the mornings after using the serum but I try to let it sink in a bit before crashing out for the night. I never thought I'd end up using oils on my face, before I hit 45 my skin was really oily in the T-zone.

I use all over my face in the evening. Wait a minute then use a night cream. Oxygen have a nice one. That one I was able to use in the morning as its not greasy

I use rosehip oil all over my face - I mix it with my night moisturiser to help it absorb nicely.

I use serums all over my face. If it has an exfoliating active sort of ingredient I don't want to put it around my eye area but I'll put it all over my face.

I don't like many serums but the Skinfood one is my favourite. I've been using that for the past year.

My favourite is the Plump & Renew Serum from Natural Instinct.  

Looks like this product has been deleted from the BR Directory, but you can read my review here

If you like an oil type serum, the Oasis Solar Serum is nice. I got it in the last Vault so the reviews are on here (again, can't do a nice tidy link on here - never have been able to do it.

Thanks for the info ladies. I've just mostly been using oils and so far I'm liking that. I would be interested in trying some serums but often they are really expensive and in the past I've had trouble with them causing breakouts of irritating my skin. I'd be interested to find out a little more.

I'm trying to finish up the Elizabeth Arden vitamin c capsules and will then be using Natural Instinct serum. Definitely a serum fan over using an oil. Antipodes Brightening Serum is good but the price point isn't good for my budget lol.

Until a few years ago, I didn't really see the point in using a serum. I thought my moisturizer could do everything my skin needed. But serum is better for my type of skin. I learned about it from this article: https://womanlylive.com/the-secrets-behind-k-pop-group-btss-glowy-skin/ . My skin was looking dull, so I decided to try face serums.

Depends on my skin condition. When dehydrated.. my skin sucks it in very quickly.. so i use it on my entire face... but when my face is nice and calm, i will pat it in only a few drops =)

 I love how my skin feels and looks since I started using these. Even my dermatologist noticed that my skin was brighter and smooth. She even asked me to send her the link so she could purchase this serum for herself. I have tried other Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid brands, some very expensive ones but this (Maryann brand) is of superior quality.
