How to use it  


After cleansing your face with a face wash or a cleanser, apply some toner followed by a face serum. Massage your face for some time then apply a good moisturizer to lock away the hydration and don’t forget to apply some sunscreen.   


While there are many types of serums available in the market, it is important to understand what each of them does for your skin. So, take a look at the information provided below, and decide for yourself as to which serum will best suit your skin.   


Types of Face Serums  


Hyaluronic acid serum
Hyaluronic acid has several benefits and uses. It keeps the skin hydrated, retains moisture, and makes the skin soft and supple. Its water retaining capacity makes it a vital component of various moisturizers, creams, lotions, serums, and ointments. It makes the skin soft, breathable, and flexible. It retains the elasticity and boosts collagen production which in turn reduces fine lines and slows down the aging process.   


Vitamin C serum  
Vitamin C is an active ingredient found in many skincare products. It is proven to boost collagen production in the skin. It fights fine lines, brightens the complexion, and provides a whole lot of other benefits. Many dermatologists recommend it for its anti-aging properties.   


Vitamin C helps in fighting acne and prevents future breakouts so, if you have acne-prone skin, you know which ingredient can help you to get rid of it.   


Salicylic acid serum   
A powerful ingredient found in many medicines and serums, Salicylic acid is used to treat acne. It penetrates deep into the skin and unclogs the pores from within. It does so by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells so that they can get separated from the pores easily resulting in a breakdown of sebum.   


Salicylic acid works as an exfoliant that clears dead skin cells, removes black and whiteheads and treats hyperpigmentation.   


Niacinamide serum
A form of Vitamin B-3, niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a very essential nutrient for the body. The deficiency of B-3 can cause skin disorders, and kidney and brain disorders.   


Niacinamide has several benefits which have been listed below.   


Boosts immunity- It helps in building keratin, a type of protein that keeps the skin firm and healthy.   


Minimizes redness and inflammation  


Lipid Barrier- It helps the skin in growing ceramide (lipid barrier) which in turn helps in retaining moisture in the skin thus keeping it soft and supple.   


Minimizes pores  


Regulates oil  


Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles  


Treats hyperpigmentation  


Protects the skin against sun damage  


Treats Acne   


Although the benefits of niacinamide can be obtained by the consumption of food rich in vitamin B3, supplying niacinamide to the skin directly in the form of serums or creams is a great alternative to achieve healthy and younger-looking skin.   


Hydrating serum
When pigments are not distributed uniformly, the skin appears dull and uneven. Stressful schedules, lifestyle, fatigue, and disrupted sleep schedule are one of the main causes of skin imperfections. Pollution and harmful UV rays cause a lot of damage to the skin. It even dries out all the moisture that is there in the skin. And that’s when hydrating serums come into play. Hydrating serums (especially those with vitamin C) help to even out the skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin.   


These serums help in combating early signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles and make the skin plumper and more radiant. There are several products available in the market which can provide such hydration to the skin. Sheet masks, gel-based creams, etc can be used as an alternative but the concentration of ingredients in serums is in such a proportion that it gets absorbed into the skin easily and gives it a natural glow. These serums stimulate the production of collagen in turn speeding up the cell rejuvenation process. These serums help in retaining moisture in the skin thus making it look firmer and more youthful.   


Now that you know the benefits of these ingredients, you should quickly decide which one to add to your skincare regime to make your skin look more soft and supple.
