Serums- The Cherry on Top
Maintaining a daily skin care routine is essential to promoting healthy skin. This routine, however, is almost incomplete without the use of a serum.
With a dazzling array of products available, it can be confusing and overwhelming adding one more product to a daily routine. Why are serums so highly recommended then?
Serums are skincare products that are specifically made up of smaller molecules which have the ability to get past the outer layer of the skin to penetrate deeply and revitalize skin. They are as highly concentrated as over the counter products can be and contain specialized active ingredients that work powerfully to produce targeted results. Most face creams have around 10% of active ingredients while serums can have a whopping 70% or more.
Serums are pure and potent products containing absolutely no fillers. Since they have to get past the outer layer of the skin to actually work, anything that can interfere with this is left out resulting in a highly concentrated and effective product. Most serums are also water-based resulting in an overall less oily feel and appearance. Even though serums are pricier than other products, they help you save money over time by giving you visible results and requiring only a small amount of product at every use.
There are a wide range of ingredients in serums, from ordinary to exotic. The more common ones are:
- Vitamic C – Available in our Multivitamin Potent PM Serum by 100% Pure®️, Vitamin C is a common ingredient for anti-ageing. It works by boosting collagen and elastin production which naturally declines as we age. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow feet and pre-mature aging.
- Hyaluronic acids – Available in our Brightening Serum by Grown Alchemist, hyaluronic acids provide maximum hydration to your skin improving its luminosity while redefining skin texture and appearance.
- Plant based active ingredients – Available in our Spot Serum by Meow Meow Tweet which is suspended in jojoba oil, plant based active ingredients tackle a range of skin issues like blemishes and spots.
- Antioxidants – Available in our Antioxidant Perfecting Serum by Patyka, antioxidants help combat damage caused by stress and environmental factors resulting in overall brighter, hydrated and less wrinkled skin.
- Retinols – Available in our Super Nova Serum by Joanna Vargas, retinols are particularly beneficial for skin prone to acne and breakouts, resulting in improved skin clarity, firmness and restoration of youthful vitality.
- Anti-inflammatory – Available in our Restorative Face Serum by Soapwalla, anti-inflammatory active ingredients are perfect for sensitive skin that is prone to redness and inflammation.
So if you haven’t already added serums to your skincare routine, we highly recommend you start now. They will immediately make a difference to the way your skin looks and feels. From our 100% Pure®️ Brightening Serum to our Grown Alchemist Detox Serum, we have a wide range of serums that will deliver targeted results to make a visible difference to what your skin needs.
