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:

It brightens skin while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Pigmentation
For those with sunspots or hyperpigmentation, a specifically-designed serum can help to lighten, brighten and even your complexion.

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 specially designed for sensitive and redness-prone skin. It works to combat environmental triggers and reduce inflammation while protecting the skin’s barrier.

Oily Skin

But wait, there’s more. Serums can even work to reduce pore size and help even out overall skin tone and complexion.
We love:
Lira Clinical PRO Brite-Plus Serum - this advanced, innovative serum, formulated with stabilised vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid, Ferulic Acid, and exclusive MASQ-tech™ flips the switch on dull, fatigued skin to defy ageing, minimise pore appearance, and brightens dull, fatigued skin renewing a healthy, youthful texture and tone.
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.
