Why is a facial serum a must-have cosmetic in your routine?

Face serum is one of those cosmetics that can be treated as created specifically for... exceptional tasks. Yes! It's hard to imagine another product that literally - works like an extremely intensive treatment. Matching such a cosmetic to the individual needs of your skin will allow you to enjoy exceptional effects. And faster than you might think.

Regular use of such products will bring many benefits to your complexion. The appropriate active ingredients will allow you to enjoy deep hydration, nourishment, and proper protection against skin aging. Additionally, they will protect the complexion from harmful external factors and effectively strengthen it.

Depending on the specific serum you choose, it will be an emulsion product with a liquid or more creamy consistency. The appropriate concentration of ingredients that are to act deep in the skin will bring relief to your face and effects that would be difficult to achieve with a regular toner or cream. Especially since the "superpower" of face serums is also that they improve the absorption of other cosmetics.

Facial Serum vs. Elixir. What is the Difference Between These Products?

You already know that face serum is a very popular type of product, the concentration of active ingredients of which is usually very high. Thanks to this — the first effects can be visible even after 2-3 weeks.

Are you wondering whether the vitamin serum you are interested in will work the same way as the elixir? Yes! Very often the names of these products are used interchangeably. You can also come across so-called concentrates, which are also intended for intensive skin care.

How to find a good serum for yourself?

Smoothing serum? Or maybe a lifting serum with hyaluronic acid? The wide selection of various products in this category often makes it difficult to choose the right cosmetic for yourself. Especially if you are buying such a product for the first time. Don't worry, because with the help of our tips, you will definitely be able to match the perfect, concentrated serum to your needs.

• Think about the activity that interests you

The ideal serum is one that, first and foremost, is tailored to the current needs of the skin. And these, of course, can change! And this is due to the weather, the phase of the cycle, or other products used for care.

That's why, before you buy a new cosmetic, ask yourself: what does my skin need now? Are you suffering from excessive sebum secretion? Or maybe you need a regenerating serum that will calm inflammation and soothe irritation?

• Check the ingredients and active substances

Before choosing a specific product, be sure to learn its composition. Serum is a unique cosmetic that will enrich your daily care, but precisely - provided that you choose a preparation that is properly adapted to what your skin needs.

Will you choose natural ingredients? Using our offer, you can choose from a variety of products, including those created specifically for people who focus on ECO care.

• Think about the formula

The form of serum you choose will affect your daily comfort of using it. Are you looking for something perfect for acne-prone skin? Then opt for light, non-overburdening serums with a water or gel formula. Emulsion serums, on the other hand, will be a great option for undemanding, combination skin. If you are looking for something for dry skin or skin with signs of aging that needs really intensive regeneration, opt for an oil serum.

Serums adapted to the different needs of our skin

Yes, a well-matched serum can work wonders, and the effects of its use are visible to the naked eye. You already know that the best face serum is one whose ingredients work in a specific, desired way. So that you can easily add the cosmetic you are interested in to your basket, check if you know what effects the individual preparations have!

Do you need a great moisturizing serum? Then choose one that contains hyaluronic acid. It is this acid that fantastically improves the level of moisture, and also strengthens the protective barrier of the epidermis and improves the complexion. It is a real must-have in the care of dehydrated, mature and, of course, dry skin.

Or maybe you are interested in a brightening serum that will effectively reduce discoloration and give your skin a radiant look? If so, then choose a cosmetic with vitamin C in the composition. L-ascorbic acid is a very strong antioxidant that supports collagen synthesis, making the skin more elastic and firm. Additionally, it prevents wrinkles and evens out the natural color. Such an antioxidant serum is a great choice for morning facial care, because vitamin C works very well in combination with an SPF cream.

What should a high-quality normalizing serum contain? Among the active ingredients, look for niacinamide or salicylic acid. Thanks to them, your skin will become properly smoothed and cleansed. Such ingredients will have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, and will also reduce the visibility of pores and limit sebum secretion.

For mature skin and the first signs of aging, a serum with retinol, coenzyme Q10, peptides, or ceramides will work great. These types of preparations will stimulate natural collagen production and improve skin firmness and density.

Make sure you know how to use the serum correctly

You already know that serums or elixirs are exceptional products. They are great for different needs of our skin. However, in order to appreciate their truly effective action, of course, you need to pay attention to the correct application. Yes, even the best serum will not work as well as it could if it is not used correctly!

You can choose a serum with multi-purpose action or one that is designed to address a specific skin problem. Regardless of which one you end up adding to your virtual basket, always apply these products to properly cleansed skin!

All commercially available serums, both those for morning and evening care, should be applied to previously washed skin. It is ideal if you opt for a two-step cleansing, which will allow you to effectively remove makeup and other impurities.

Before applying the serum, you can also reach for a toner. Before using a specific product, read the manufacturer's information, which will tell you, among other things, whether to apply the product to slightly damp or completely dry skin.

Make sure not to apply too much or too little of the chosen serum. The right portion will depend, among other things, on the consistency of the product you choose. Apply the serum not only to your face, but also to your neck and neckline. To maximize its effects, wait a few or a dozen minutes before applying another layer of care in the form of a cream.

You can reach for serums adapted to the needs of a specific skin type in both your morning and evening skin care routine. If you are focusing on different active ingredients, be sure to check how the serum works and whether the second one you also want to use will not exclude the action of the first one and vice versa. And this is especially true if you are choosing a serum with a very intensive, targeted effect.
