Improve your routine with these serums

We can't avoid it: in almost everyone's face care routine contains one serum. A serum ensures that fine lines in your face are filled and that your skin remains well hydrated. Not just an extra cream without effect. We want more.

There are different types of serums: for impure skin, dry skin, but also for mature skin. Good to know: always apply a serum after cleansing your skin (on dry skin), before applying a day or night cream.

 

 

 

Anti aging serum

Anti aging serum

The Liftactiv line from Vichy Laboratories you’ve probably seen it before (those pretty red pots, you know). The serum contains Co-bonding Technology—a mouthful, but it helps support different collagen types in the skin. It’s designed to firm skin and reduce signs of aging.

The program Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex Serum from Estée Lauder is (as the name suggests) best applied in the evening. It contains hyaluronic acid, among other things, which helps to reduce fine lines and maintain a fresh complexion.

Extra hydration

The program Vichy Mineral 89 Booster Serum provides extra hydration and protects the skin from external influences. This serum contains hyaluronic acid, which provides intense hydration.

Drunk Elephant also has a nice serum for extra hydration. It feels light and fresh and contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. These substances ensure that the skin retains moisture. This serum is suitable for sensitive skin, because it contains few oils and additives, which reduces the chance of irritation.
