Have you ever wondered what face serum you should use? Or even if you should use one, for that matter? If so, consider this your ultimate guide to serums.
What is facial serum?
Serums are highly concentrated skincare products that have a heightened ability to penetrate the skin. They contain different active ingredients targeted to your skin concerns, including breakouts, aging, hyperpigmentation, pollution, fine lines, wrinkles, repair, and more. Meanwhile they are usually light and come in liquid, gel and oily forms.
What kind of serum should I use?
To control oil and treat rough pores
If you have oily skin, want to control oil and treat rough pores, definitely go for anything with niacinamide. This stuff basically helps to regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent your glands from going into overdrive. Keeping skin smooth and moisturized may have a secondary benefit — a natural reduction in pore size over time.
Formulated with 4% pure Nicotinamide, natural soothing ingredients like witch hazelandchamomile, Niacinamide Serum actively work to control excess facial oil, minimize the pores and prevent breakouts. Niacinamide also can help soothe skin, relieve redness and fade acne marks. Additionally, this serum is packed with two percent hyaluronic acid to deliver steady hydration all day.
To brighten skin and fade dark spots
Dark spots can come about from a few scenarios. Either from acne that has gone away but left a pesky dark spot (this happens to me anytime I get a serious blemish) or from sun damage. There’s also hyperpigmentation as well which is oftentimes caused by hormonal changes. Adding a serum that targets dark spots on your skin can really help speed up the healing process and help slough off discolored skin.
Neutriherbs Vitamin C Plus Brightening Serum features a synergistic antioxidant combination of pure vitamin C, E and ferulic acid to enhance your skin's protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals. In addition to antioxidant protective benefits, this formula improves signs of aging and photodamage to leave a younger appearance while firming and brightening your complexion. Lastly, natural herb centella asiatica enhances the hydration and soothing benefits to instantly give skin back its glow.
To exfoliate skin and prevent acne
AHAs are primarily used to exfoliate your skin. In fact, this is the foundation for all of the other benefits AHAs offer. Exfoliation refers to a process where the skin cells on the surface shed off. This helps remove dead skin cells but also makes way for new skin cell generation. As you age, your natural skin cell cycle slows down, which can make dead skin cells build up. When you have too many dead skin cells, they can accumulate and make your complexion look dull.
With a blend of glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, Glycolic Acid Night Serum takes away the aged horniness, speed up skin's metabolism, shrink the look of pores and slow down melanin deposit to keep skin smooth bright and charming. Furthermore, natural plant extracts- calendula and chamomile, powerful hydrating hyaluronic acid help to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and soothe the skin.
If you have a major skincare goal, there’s a great chance that serum can significantly help you achieve it. It’s worth mentioning that since they have higher concentrations of active ingredients, they tend to be on the pricier side. However, once you find the best serum(s) for you, you’ll likely find that beautiful skin—as well as the confidence that results from it—are priceless.
