What are Facial Serums? 

Facial serums are lightweight, concentrated skincare products designed to address specific skin concerns. They contain active ingredients such as vitamins, peptides, or antioxidants that penetrate deeply into the skin. 

How Do Facial Serums Work? 

Unlike moisturisers, serums are formulated to deliver potent doses of these ingredients directly to target issues like wrinkles, dark spots, or dehydration. Face serums should be applied to clean skin and are typically applied after cleansing but before moisturising to be effective.

Their lightweight texture allows them to be absorbed quickly, providing visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall health. Regular use can lead to a more radiant, youthful complexion.

Different Skin Types and Skin Concerns

Everyone is different and their skin is no exception. As a result, there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to skincare products and different ingredients help different skin types and conditioners differently. 

Oily Skin – Oily skin produces excess sebum, which leads to a shiny appearance and often clogged pores.

Dry Skin – Dry skin, on the other hand, lacks moisture and can feel tight, flaky, and rough.

Combination Skin – Combination skin has both oily and dry areas and typically features an oily T-zone and dry cheeks.

Blemish-Prone Skin – Blemish-prone skin is likely to experience frequent breakouts and may have redness and inflammation.

Acne-Prone Skin – Acne-prone skin may frequently experience persistent acne, including pimples, blackheads, and cysts.

Ageing Skin – Ageing skin shows signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. It’s common as we age for mature skin to develop but it can come prematurely with sun damage and a lack of skincare.

Important Ingredients For Skin Health 

To achieve optimal skin health, it’s important to know what different active ingredients do to determine whether they can help achieve your skin goal. These ingredients will work differently depending on your skin type and the issue that you are attempting to treat. 

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in our skin, eyes, and body joints. It is great at hydrating and plumping the skin as it helps to retain your skin’s moisture. Benefits include reducing wrinkles, promoting smoother skin, and aiding wound healing. It’s often used in skin care products and treatments for its powerful moisturising effects.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, and reduces acne and blackheads. It penetrates deeply into your skin to remove dead cells and excess oil to prevent future breakouts and improve rough and bumpy skin.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane and known for its exfoliating properties. It also effectively removes dead skin cells to brighten dull complexions and hyperpigmentation, smooth skin texture and reduce fine lines.

Azelaic Acid

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains like barley and wheat. It’s used in skincare for its ability to treat acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and blemishes. Benefits include reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and evening out skin tone, making it a popular choice for clearer, smoother skin.

Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin is a naturally derived skin-brightening ingredient found in plants like bearberry. It helps reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production. Benefits include a more even skin tone, reduced appearance of scars, and brightened skin, which makes it popular in skincare products for a radiant look.

Phyto Botanical Blend 

A Phyto Botanical Blend is a mixture of plant-based extracts used in skincare. It harnesses the natural properties of plants to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Benefits include antioxidant protection, hydration, and soothing of irritation, promoting healthier, more glowy skin.

L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)

L-ascorbic acid, known as Vitamin C, is a powerful antioxidant used in skincare. It helps brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and protect against sun damage. Benefits include promoting collagen production, improving skin texture, and providing a more radiant, youthful complexion.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a versatile skincare ingredient. It helps reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and minimise pores. Benefits include brightening skin tone, reducing fine lines, and strengthening the skin barrier, making it effective for a smoother, more even complexion.

Argan CDV (derived from the argan tree’s stem cells) 

Argan CDV is derived from the stem cells of the argan tree. It is used in skincare for its rejuvenating properties. Benefits include promoting skin regeneration, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity, leading to a firmer, more youthful complexion.

Retinol

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A commonly used in skincare. It helps speed up cell turnover, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. Benefits include smoother skin texture, improved tone, and a more youthful, radiant complexion. It’s effective in anti-ageing and acne treatment products.

Peptides 

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help build proteins in the skin. They are used in skin care to promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. Benefits include firmer, smoother skin, and a more youthful appearance, making peptides popular in anti-ageing products.

Caffeine

Caffeine, commonly known for its stimulating effects, is also used in skincare. It helps reduce puffiness and dark circles by improving blood circulation and constricting blood vessels. Benefits include a refreshed, less tired appearance, and a brighter, more even skin tone, making it popular in eye creams and serums.
