Serums are the hottest new trend, and rightly so with the brilliant results they can showcase when used properly and regularly.
While the market may be filled with an array of products, finding that diamond in the rough that magically takes care of your skincare concerns can be a challenge, especially if you aren’t sure what kind of serum you should use.
Fortunately, there is an easier way to figure out which serum is right for you - by choosing one with actives that are specifically designed to target your skincare concerns.
To help you understand what serum actives to use, Malini Adapureddy, founder, Deconstruct Skincare offers a few tips, helping you achieve healthier skin in the process.
Dark spots
The Golden Serum Combination - Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid
Vitamin C is quickly on its way to becoming the go-to ingredient with its wide range of benefits. If you are someone who experiences discolouration, dullness, dark spots, or even sun damage, Vitamin C is the right activity for you.
Vitamin C can help brighten your skin, leaving you with a flawless, dewy glow that can even help you flaunt the “no-makeup” look with ease.
In addition to helping with dark spots, Vitamin C can also help in improving your skin's hydration, reducing redness and the appearance of dark circles, and promoting the production of collagen.
Ferulic acid is a great pairing with Vitamin C as it boosts the effectiveness of the active, giving you better results in the long run. This activity is also great for those who have multiple skincare issues but don’t want to use too many different activities at once.
Acne-prone skin
The Golden Serum Combination - Salicylic Acid + Niacinamide
Even before skincare serums became mainstream, salicylic acid has been the long-standing choice for those with acne-prone skin.
Salicylic acid works to remove the layer of dead cells that forms on the top layer of the skin, which leads to a decrease in redness and swelling.
This process is one of the main reasons why salicylic acid is a good choice, as it is the main reason contributing to the reduced appearance of acne, blackheads, and dark spots.
However, this activity can potentially leave you with drier skin, which is why using a product that contains salicylic acid and niacinamide is the better option considering the moisturisation that the second active provides.
Using a serum with both these actives is sure to leave you feeling fresh with clear, supple, and nourished skin. Read More...
