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.
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.
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.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Dermallergo Serum is a calming and hydrating serum, specially developed for sensitive skin. It contains ingredients that help to reduce redness and irritation. The serum is quickly absorbed, so you don't have to sit on the couch with a shiny face all evening.
The program Back to Life Hydration Serum from Pai Skincare is developed for dry skin. This serum contains hyaluronic acid and berry extracts, which help to retain moisture. This keeps the skin well hydrated.
If you have impure skin and are prone to pimples and clogged pores, Paula's Choice a good option. Paula's Choice has a 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, a liquid exfoliant with salicylic acid that helps reduce pimples and clogged pores.
The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution is a calming and restorative serum, specially developed for sensitive and impure skin. The ingredients (2% aloe vera extract and 2% N-acetylglucosamine) provide hydration and soothe redness in the face.
