There are a whole range of serums made to address myriad skin concerns. Whilst they are expensive they contain high concentrates of active ingredients and you only need to use a tiny amount - literally a drop or two. (They frequently are also where brands spend the most money research and development wise and are often innovative.)
Serums can be oil or liquid, you wear them both at night and during the day and they sit underneath your moisturizer. I tend to use a basic moisturizer or oil on top of my serums which allows me to invest more in the serum.
I've tried a vast range of serums and although I swap them around there are two that I favor and keep coming back to.
For daytime use I really like Sarah Chapman Intense Hydrating Booster. This is a clear unscented liquid that comes in a glass bottle with a pipette. Two drops of this on freshly cleansed skin not only calms my skin, it protects against pollutants increasing my skin's moisture levels and making it appear smoother and plumper. This is primarily a deluxe delivery of Hyaluronic acid for your skin but unlike other Hyaluronic products I find it to be very comfortable to wear and not at all sticky.
At night Sunday Riley Good Genes is the serum that I always reach for. TBH the first time I tried it it didn't do much for me and left my skin looking angry but I persevered and am so thankful that I did! Good Genes is a gel like cream that smells like spicy lemon drops (I adore the smell but it is one that divides people...) It contains 'prescription strength' Lactic acid. It exfoliates and brightens the skin and preps it to better absorb whatever you put on top. This serum has not only made my skin more radiant, it has toned it. I especially love layering this under Sunday Riley Artemis and find that the combination of the two balances my skin perfectly.
Both of these serums can be found at www.us.spacenk.com
