An effective skincare routine involves several key elements: cleanser, serum that delivers essential benefits, and moisturizer that seals them in. That’s where this youth-boosting serum comes in.
This ultralight liquid is like the essence of radiant skin in a bottle. Packed with 20% antioxidant vitamin C, its lotion-like texture quickly absorbed by skin and layers well with other products, according to our tester.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Finding an effective face serum can make a dramatic difference for fine lines or dark spots, with ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and peptides providing targeted solutions.
Those who wish to battle fine lines and wrinkles should seek a serum with either a retinol formula (to accelerate cell turnover and plump and firm the skin) or one with peptides, which build proteins into your skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Those struggling with blotchiness and discoloration should search for serums containing brightening ingredients like kojic acid or glycolic acid to help. Or try selecting one targeting pigmentation or blemishes using exfoliation such as salicylic acid to treat pigmentation or blemishes; adding such products into your routine will also keep pores clear while minimising enlarged ones from appearing more noticeable – all leading to radiant complexion that appears youthful and healthy-looking!
Retinol
Retinol, also known as retinoic acid, is one of the skin’s most potent anti-aging ingredients. Derived from Vitamin A and used to increase cell turnover, Retinol reduces fine lines and wrinkles while evening out skin tone over time. If considering starting with Retinol products it’s recommended starting slowly with low concentrations at bedtime – because sunlight sensitivity increases with Retinol use it’s wise to wear sunscreen during daylight hours!
Origins’ serum features acetyl hexapeptide-8 and anogeissus bark extract for smooth lines and wrinkles as well as brightening dark spots, making this an excellent solution for all skin types, particularly blemishes or dullness. Plus, its fast absorption means you can layer multiple products.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrating ingredients such as this one help plump skin and visibly diminish fine lines, making for healthier looking skin overall. They work best when combined with other anti-ageing agents such as retinol, vitamin C or other powerful anti-ageing ingredients to promote youthful-looking complexions.
This serum offers a combination of plant and peptide growth factors to strengthen skin structure, increase thickness and increase elasticity and firmness while protecting against environmental damage and premature aging. Plus it includes an abundant dose of antioxidants for extra defense.
Prose’s serum is ultra-light and non-greasy, making it simple to layer under moisturizer or makeup. With its pleasant, mild scent and powder-like finish, this oil-free formula is great for acne-prone and sensitive skin types alike. Additionally, its plant-based retinol alternative bakuchiol provides deep hydration. Incorporating this serum as part of their customizable skincare regimen includes cleanser, moisturizer and serum tailored specifically to each customer.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C serums can be powerfully effective at brightening and smoothing fine lines, as well as helping fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, supporting skin elasticity, and providing even tone for clearer complexions. Our hydrating serum contains five forms of stabilized Vitamin C as well as guava leaf extract for an even tone and clear complexion.
Niacinamide and Plankton Peptides in this cream help to diminish fine lines and wrinkles while Hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration for all skin types – even sensitive ones! Noncomedogenic formula makes this ideal for all.
To maximize its effectiveness, apply this serum on clean skin prior to moisturizer application. Avoid mixing it with AHAs (glycolic, tartaric, malic and mandelic acids), BHA (salicylic acid) or retinol products as these could destabilize vitamin C and cause irritation. Use sunscreen during the day and moisturizer in the evening for maximum sun protection.
