Creamy Lightweight Serums

Monastery's Flora Botanical Cream Serum is an In-Between Product

Monastery's Flora Botanical Cream Serum is somewhere in between a moisturizer and a serum, as the brand describes that its product is "more lightweight than your average cream, but creamier than your average serum." The unique skincare product is crafted from a blend of mixed-weight hyaluronic acids, fruit and floral oils and a soothing aloe base. The firming, brightening and hydrating cream serum was created to address collagen breakdown and offer protection from UV light, moisture loss and more.

There are more and more skincare products that are available by the day and yet people are looking to simplify their beauty routines. As such, a range of unique skincare hybrids are emerging to help consumers save time and clear up cabinet space.
