Customer service is about only one part of the overall customer experience. Both CX and customer service are not far apart from each other, in fact, Customer experience is proactive while customer service is reactive.

For instance
Customer service reactive means - it can only happen when a customer is dissatisfied with the company during or after sales services. The business can only take action once something wrong, and not beforehand.
