GUEST POST | 10 Effective Face Serums For All Skin Care Needs
7/17/2017
We know, we know! Another skin care product! There are so many products out there, our skin care routine becomes long and exhausting. Our skin doesn't actually ask for much. Its needs are quite simple – keep it clean, moisturised and away from the sun and it'll stay healthy and glowing for years on end. We know you are rolling your eyes saying, “It's not that simple!”
Well, actually it is. But our lives have gotten complicated as we try to battle stress, lack of sleep, unhealthy eating habits, and exposure to pollution, dirt and free radicals from UV rays. We put our delicate skin through a lot. So when the traditional 3-step routine doesn't work, our skin requires skin some extra love and care for more promising results.
Enter face serums. Ideally used after a toner and before a moisturiser, these serums are formulated to work on all kinds of skin problems, be it of texture, ageing and lines, uneven skin tone or discolouration. Beauty and skin care experts swear by serums for a wholesome skin care treatment, like for example MiamiMD's Intensive Eye Repair Serum.
Face serums are full of nutrients and a high concentration of active ingredients that make them light, nourishing, and easy to blend into the skin. They work on the deeper layers of skin that other products are unable to reach. Unlike moisturisers, serums are non-greasy, which allows them to penetrate the skin easily.
We’ve compiled a list of the 10 most effective and loved serums out there for you to choose from -
- Lakmé Absolute Youth Infinity Skin Sculpting Serum
Regular use of this serum prevents breakouts, brightens skin, and causes depigmentation. The non-greasy, water-like consistency is easily absorbable, keeping the skin hydrated all day. Collagen, a skin firming agent, tightens sagged skin, leaving it young and healthy.
- Pond’s Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum
A small amount of this serum is enough for the whole face. The gel base penetrates skin quickly, giving it a bright and toned finish. It reduces fine lines, wrinkles and age spots effectively, and leaves the skin noticeably supple and cool.
- Clinique Anti-blemish Solutions: Blemish + Line-correcting Serum
Clinique’s anti-blemish serum constitutes the goodness of ingredients like Salicylic Acid, peptides, Whey protein, primrose and caffeine. It is known to visibly reduce spots, breakouts, face lines and blemishes; leaving the skin clear, fresh and toned.
- Kaya Brightening Serum
This brightening serum is known to yield astounding results. Its non-greasy formula is ideal for daily use. It rejuvenates rough, dull skin almost instantly and upon regular use, you can noticeably see a reduction in spots, acne marks and freckles.
- L’Oréal Paris Youth Code Youth Booster Serum
This serum is an immediate enricher. After use, you can notice the change in your skin as it feels smooth, toned and plump. It nourishes your skin cells and improves overall texture, reducing wrinkles, acne marks, spots and dryness.
- The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum
The vitamin E in this serum targets unwanted spots and discoloured areas to give a naturally balanced, even tone to the skin. The moisturising ingredients rehydrate and soothe dull skin. It works for all skin types.
- Estée Lauder Clear Difference Advanced Blemish Serum
Several products claim to reduce blemishes but not many succeed. However, this one has seen stellar success. It lives up to its claims of targeting and reducing spots and stopping the breakout cycle, yielding results in a just a few weeks!
- Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum
Filled with antioxidants like Retinol and anti-inflammatory ingredients like Niacin Amide, this is a light-weight serum, great for improving skin texture and tone. Another big plus is that it is alcohol free.
- L’Oréal Paris Hydrafresh Deep Boosting Essence
This is a unique serum that hydrates the deep layers of skin and locks-in moisture, while the Vitamin E granules work their charm over skin anomalies. The moisturising action gives your skin a natural glow, leaving it refreshed, bouncy and plump.
- Lotus Herbals White Glow Intensive Skin Whitening and Brightening Serum
This is the least expensive product on the list, and has shown great results in preventing blackheads and acne. Although it doesn’t do much whitening, it certainly rehydrates the skin, smoothens the tone and improves texture. It is suitable for all skin types.
When picking out a serum, first figure out your skin’s needs. Look for combinations of ingredients pertaining to your skin issue. Consult a dermatologist for serious conditions before buying a product you’re unsure of. A serum must be used regularly for at least a month before you can start its seeing results. Switching products every few weeks can cause severe reactions, worsening the skin condition adversely. Patch test every new skin or beauty product before use to ensure that it suits your skin.
We know the kiddo inside you will never let you settle for a single skin serum. Different moods of yours as different seasons will call for a new type and brand of serums. But leave your worries behind as we at Shoppers Stop have all your skin serum issues sorted! From Lakmé to Lotus, we have it all.
