FACE SERUMS: FUNCTIONAL CARE

FACE SERUMS: FUNCTIONAL CARE

Face serums are powerful functional treatments that address specific skin concerns, often infused with higher concentrations of active ingredients compared to other skincare products. A serum quickly delivers actives deep into the skin and supplies a rich dose of nutrients to maximise the effects of your skincare regime.

Whether you're looking to improve dullness, repair a damaged barrier or smooth the traces of time, serums are an essential step of your skincare regime!

HYDRATING

Some common ingredients that point to a serum’s hydrating ability include hyaluronic acids, ceramides, glycerin and NMF. These hydrating factors quickly instill moisture into dehydrated skin and alleviate dryness-induced discomfort, dullness and fine lines.

ANTI AGING

Many anti-aging serums are loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and Polyphenol to protect the skin against free radicals and slow down skin aging. Collagen and hydrating factors are also common additions, which can improve skin elasticity and moisture to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging.

PORE MINIMISING

Serums for pore concerns often involve exfoliation by using acid-based chemical exfoliators such as AHAs and BHAs like salicylic acids to gently melt away dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. Removing impurities and old skin cells helps to regulate the skin’s metabolism and water-oil balance for smoother skin.

BRIGHTENING

Vitamin C, arbutin and niacinamide are some common components you may find in a brightening serum. They help to reduce hyperpigmentation and fade dark spots and dullness, perfect for those concerned about blemishes and an uneven skin tone. See your complexion growing more and more radiant from regular usage over time!

Soothing

Soothing serums mainly calm red, irritated and sensitised skin and usually features natural calming botanicals such as heartleaf and Centella Asiatica (cica). They’re not only for sensitive skin, though; with restorative and barrier-strengthening effects, they’re equally as effective on normal skin types.

Anti-Sebum

Oily skin types tend to produce more sebum, potentially leading to enlarged pores, comedones and acne. While it's nonetheless important for oily skin to stay moisturised, you can look for lightweight hydrating serums equipped with oil control benefits to keep your skin comfortable and refreshed.
