In the world of skincare, a serum is a popular addition to the daily skincare routine. There are a variety of serums on the market that promise to combat skin problems like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne, and improve skin texture. But what exactly is a serum and how does it differ from other skin care products? What ingredients are included in a serum and what benefits do they provide to the skin? In this article, we'll take an in-depth look at how serums affect the skin and provide you with all the important information you need to find the right serum for your individual needs.
A serum is a concentrated formula of active ingredients designed to nourish and improve the skin. Not only does the consistency differentiate the serum from a common moisturizer, but the two products can also be distinguished from each other in the concentration of active ingredients. While the moisturizer tends to have a firmer, creamy texture, the serum is considered more fluid. In addition, the serum benefits from an increased concentration of active ingredients. Thus, it can effectively combat skin problems in the shortest possible time.
Improve skin texture: Serums can help improve skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and tightening the skin.
Improving skin texture: a serum can help reduce the appearance of skin blemishes such as acne, redness and pigmentation.
Additional Moisture: A serum can help to provide your skin with additional moisture, this helps to reduce dryness and flaking.
Slow aging: The antioxidant action of the serum helps protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stresses that can lead to premature aging.
Light texture: Serums have a lighter texture than moisturizers and can therefore penetrate the skin better and deliver their active ingredients more effectively.
Due to the high concentration of the serum, just a few drops are enough to care for the entire face and neck.
How it works:
Clean your face as usual
Take a small amount of serum with the pipette and apply it on your fingertips
Gently massage the serum into the skin, making sure that it is completely absorbed by the skin
Wait a few minutes for the serum to be fully absorbed before applying other skin care products such as a moisturizer or sunscreen
It is advisable to use the serum twice a day, morning and evening, to achieve optimal results. It is important to note that an effective serum should be tailored to your individual skin needs. Therefore, it is advisable to choose the serum based on your individual skin needs.
How does a face cream work? If you apply a cream, it primarily cares for the skin and protects the skin barrier. With important oils and lipids, it covers the skin like a protective film. In this way, the skin can be optimally protected from external influences such as cold and dryness.
How does a serum work?? Due to its light, liquid to gel-like consistency, the serum can be easily absorbed by the skin and penetrate into deeper skin layers. Here they can act optimally and treat skin problems in depth.
This means that a serum cannot replace the skin cream in most cases, especially for dry or combination skin. Then the skin needs important lipids and oils that strengthen the skin's protective barrier and provide the skin with optimal care. Only for people with very oily skin or normal skin, a serum alone may be sufficient treat.
