Face serums are made up of tiny molecules and contain a higher concentration of active ingredients. They can penetrate deeply into the skin and are commonly used to target specific skin care concerns like wrinkles/fine lines and dark spots. They are applied after cleansing (or toning) and before moisturizing.
While most serums contain loads of moisturizing ingredients, they should not replace your daily moisturizer. Do take note that moisturizers are designed to hydrate the skin to prevent water loss and keep the skin from drying out. They are also thicker than serums and seal all products applied onto your skin.
Serums are becoming an increasingly popular product because of their ability to improve skin texture and complexion. Here are some of the reasons you should add face serums to your skincare.
While face serums are more expensive than other skin care products, do take note that they have concentrated dose of nutrients. Quality serums also mean that you won’t have to spend extra money on several products that deliver okay to no results at all. They can actually help you save money because they give you visible results.
At Cutis Laser Clinics, we have two recommended face serums from Dr. Sylvia Skin Care Line.
Dr. Sylvia’s Fibroblast Growth Factor Serum – This product is worth considering if you want to look younger and reduce eye wrinkles. Apart from targeting age-related degradation, it also reactivates collagen and dermal activity. It helps block collagen breakdown and prevent skin damage.
The serum is boosted with Gotu Kola, Swiss Apple, and Centella Stem Cells to improve skin density, texture and firmness. Fibroblast Growth Factor Serum has also been found to be more effective than Vitamin C in Clinical Studies.
Vitamin C 20% with Ferulic Acid – This contains a combination of various antioxidant actives that help fight free radicals. It fights oxidative stress, as well as provides extra hydration and skin lightening benefits. The vitamin C component of the serum can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In general, it is advisable to apply a face serum on your face and neck twice a day (morning and night). You should also refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on how to use the product.
