This serum offers visible lifting and tightening effects to defy gravity’s effect. Packed with essential nourishing oils and powerful antioxidants to support resilient skin.
Humectants (such as sodium hyaluronate and glycerin) provide much-needed hydration while plant extracts, peptides, polyglutamic acid, and snail mucin strengthen the skin barrier to provide ultimate protection. This lightweight serum is suitable for all skin types – sensitive or otherwise.
Hydration
Serum is a lightweight liquid composed of oil or water that should be applied after cleansing your face. Most serums come packaged in small bottles with droppers; just a few drops are enough to treat an entire facial area.
If your skin appears dull and lackluster, hydrating serum could be exactly what’s needed to revive it. By including one in your routine, adding one may also help fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
Hyaluronic acid is an invaluable asset when it comes to serums that hydrate and plump fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to its powerful moisturising abilities. Acting as a humectant, Hyaluronic acid draws in moisture from the air and holds it on your skin’s surface preventing future dehydration loss. Look out for other hydrating ingredients in such serums such as Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) which strengthens skin barrier function to combat redness as well as glycolic acid which sloughs off dead cells for smoother-looking skin – both combined together work wonders! These components work best when coupled with a moisturizer which seals in moisture locked inside.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are superheroes for your skin–available both ingested as nutrients and topically in products like serum. By “donating” electrons to free radicals that don’t have enough electrons of their own, antioxidants neutralize them and stop chain reactions that could damage proteins, lipids, or DNA.
Free radicals are produced naturally during metabolism and by exposure to UV radiation, cigarette smoke, pollution and other environmental triggers. An imbalance of free radicals may increase the risk of cancer and heart disease as well as cause skin disorders like hyperpigmentation wrinkles and dullness if unchecked.
To combat free radicals, look for serums containing ingredients like ferulic acid – this ingredient stabilizes vitamin C (listed on ingredient labels as EGCG) so it stays active over time; resveratrol, an antioxidative polyphenol found in red grapes; vitamin E which soothes your complexion and vitamin A derivatives like Retinol which are great at reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Peptides
Peptides act like personal trainers for your skin. Peptides promote collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving elasticity and tone, all at once. This serum uses copper peptides formulated with amino acids and hyaluronic acid for plumping the complexion while simultaneously hydrating. In addition, this product can reduce pores for an overall refined skin texture.
Peptides have long been used for anti-aging purposes; however, they can also help soothe irritation. Some types of peptides (neurotransmitters and antioxidants) even work to block chemicals that trigger inflammation or breakouts.
Oily skin should use a serum with peptides combined with niacinamide or salicylic acid to balance oil production. A formula with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter may help dry skin feel soft and smooth; while its light formula avoids harsh exfoliants or irritants for maximum skin-friendly care.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid, better known by its acronym HA, is one of the best-known beauty ingredients in skin-care products. Produced naturally by our bodies and used to bind water molecules and plumps skin cells for an intoxicated dewiness, Hyaluronic acid injections are popularly utilized by plastic surgeons, primary care clinicians (such as PAs and NPs) as well as dermatologists to give a dewy complexion.
As you age, your body’s production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to dryness and the formation of fine lines. Supplemental topical HA can help replenish this lost substance and delay signs of aging.
When purchasing a serum, carefully examine its ingredient list to ascertain how much hyaluronic acid it contains. Look out for products with lower molecular weight so that HA can penetrate deeper. Furthermore, avoid products which use preservatives to keep hyaluronic acid stable; these preservatives may damage skin’s protective lipid barrier leading to irritation and inflammation.
