The Best Face Serums For Every Skin Concern
Face serums are the lifeblood of great skin. Designed to protect, nourish, and target specific skin concerns, they are a skincare step you want to ensure you are making the most of. Here’s our guide to the best face serums for every skin concern.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a fact of life. But thanks to ever-advancing technology, there are a number of serums out there designed to reduce wrinkles and the signs of ageing.
We love:
Skin Moderne Decadent Dessert – this luxurious and potent anti-ageing serum contains active plant extracts, nutrient packed Marine Algae, Resveratrol, Beta-Glucan, two molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid and essential oils. This works to smooth out wrinkles and leave skin healthier and more radiant.
Skin Moderne Phyto-Fusion Smoothie – this serum is rich in plant oils, Omega 3, 6 and 9, phytonutrients and antioxidants. It works to boost collagen and elastin and restore radiance for youthful-looking skin.
Skin Moderne Bio-Placenta – this serum is biotechnologically engineered yielding peptides, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. This product increases the rate of skin renewal and slows down the thinning of ageing skin and wrinkles.
Ultraceuticals Ultra A Skin Perfecting Serum – a serum that visibly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while plumping the skin.
Pigmentation
For those with sunspots or hyperpigmentation, a specifically-designed serum can help to lighten, brighten and even your complexion.
We love:
Skin Moderne C Fusion which contains a proprietary Vitamin C blend for maximum potency.
Skin Moderne Bio-Retinol – this serum uses a blend of safer, plant-derived retinol alternatives to rejuvenate skin and balance and even skin tone while lightening and brightening.
Ultraceuticals Brightening Serum – designed to brighten and clear skin for a visibly luminous and revitalised complexion.
Sensitive Skin
Serums can be a little scary for those with sensitive skin. Luckily there are some specific serums to cater to sensitive skin, and even to help with recovery after skin treatments.
Skin Moderne Pacifi – this serum is especially designed for sensitive and redness prone skin. It works to combat environmental triggers and reduce inflammation while protecting the skins barrier.
Skin Moderne Luminous – this serum uses whitening actives to block the melanogenesis process to whiten and brighten skin.
DermaQuest Sensitized Delicate Soothing Serum – a non-irritating and anti-inflammatory treatment designed to calm sensitive and compromised skin. This serum is perfect for post-laser, post-resurfacers and other treatments to help calm and soothe skin by providing hydration and relief.
Oily Skin
For those who suffer from oily skin or skin conditions such as acne, serums can help to reduce and prevent breakouts.
We love:
Skin Modern’s Clarifi – a blend of active ingredients designed to control bacteria, modulate sebum, balance skin and refine pores.
Pores and Uneven Texture
But wait, there’s more. Serums can even work to reduce pore size and help even out overall skin tone and complexion.
We love:
Ultraceuticals Even Skintone Smoothing Serum Mild – a liquid exfoliator serum that refines texture and enhances skin clarity while resurfacing skin and minimising and refining the appearance of pores.
DermaQuest Advanced Therapy Retexture Serum – this serum uses 1% retinol to exfoliate and refine skin texture to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and promote a more youthful appearance.
How To Make The Most Of Your Serum
The golden rule of thumb is to apply your skincare in order of thinnest to thickest. That means starting with a serum after cleansing and toning so these super-powered products can penetrate the skin. To apply – take a pea-sized amount of serum and rub into your face, neck and décolleté. Wait a few moments for the product to absorb, before applying moisturiser, eye cream and sunscreen.
