Serums and moisturizers

So I got my samples yesterday and so far I love everything I've tried! I do have a question about serums and moisturizers though.

My skin is very very oily in summer and gets dry patches in winter so I'm more combination then. Recently I've gone to just using my primer in the AM and an oil control moisturizer in the PM. So my question is this: Can I just use serums or is it a MUST to follow with moisture? I think I'll have more luck with the oil control serum by itself in the AM, and the Green Tea/Aloe in the PM followed with the hemp moisturizer.

Any suggestions?

You can definitely try them without following with a moisturizer. It really is about what works for you, and the moisturizer afterward is a guideline. Just be sure if things change...like the season...and you experience dryness, you try adding one in to see if it helps. The moisturizer is partly intended to seal in water based products.

I just use serums (and SPF in the AM). My skin does much better w/o a typical moisturizer, plus my skin doesn't like long term use of oils (I've tried about 15 at this point).

Thank you to BOTH Jen's....

I figured that would be the case. I just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of what I use.

Yes...the Oil Control Serum was actually designed to be a stand-alone product because people who need oil control don't really need moisturizers
