Serum Difference in Skin Care

We have discussed many times how important care is in order to have beautiful skin and to protect it. However, this time I would like to add and especially focus on the 'skin serums' and their privileged properties on the skin. Let's examine together the contributions, frequency and time of use of these formulations with a small molecular structure, which has become a necessity to be included in the skin care ritual by the age of 30, and why they are so valuable.

It's a privilege for your skin

The most important difference that distinguishes skin care serums from other products is that they have a formula created in high concentration ranges to ensure that intense and powerful active ingredients are combined and absorbed by the skin more easily. In order to be able to carry these substances into the skin, they are prepared in small molecular structures and in liquid or light gel form. What's more, most serums have a water-based formula so they can penetrate under the skin more easily.

More costly, more effective

The reason why serum prices are more expensive than other products is that they contain very high concentrations of active substances. Let's exemplify, while a product generally contains about 5 to 10 percent active ingredient, serum formulations are built on active ingredients; that is, it can contain up to 70 percent. Although the concentration ranges vary according to the brand and the desired effect of the product, the highest concentration of active substance among skin care formulations belongs to serums.

Due to these features, serums are care products produced to provide effective results for more specific skin needs and vary according to skin needs. While some serums are on the shelves to achieve results such as reducing fine lines, brightening, tightening or helping to get rid of dark spots, some can be equipped with anti-age properties or come to the fore with intense moisturizing properties. Determining the need, choosing the right product, regular use and observation are the most important factors to achieve the desired results.

Order of use and frequency of application

Gently dry the skin after removing all kinds of make-up residues, dust and other deposits with suitable cleansing products. After cleansing, apply a very small amount of serum and wait for a while for the skin to completely absorb the serum. With their small molecular structure, liquid format and light formulations equipped with rich ingredients, serums will accelerate the regeneration process of the skin and accelerate the effect of the moisturizer, anti-age or spot-oriented care you will apply afterwards. It may be sufficient when applied once a day, or they can be applied twice, day and night. Also, don't forget to use the products you apply on your face to your neck area, so that you don't have to face a neck that has lost its elasticity and shows your age just below your carefully protected face.

To look younger and healthier

Add a face serum to your daily skincare routine, along with your cleanser, toner and moisturizer, for beautiful-looking and glowing skin. Make sure that the serum is for your age and the care your skin needs, and contains actives for it. In this way, you can use them as effective tools targeting the solution of a specific skin problem and achieve productive results. Let's not forget that cosmetic products are tools to help reach the goal. Skin care serums are among the most effective product groups in this regard.

May not be suitable for everyone

The use of serum can cause irritation with its structure and rapid penetration in people with chronic skin problems such as eczema and rosacea, which weaken the skin barrier. Therefore, although they are very functional, serums are not suitable for everyone.
