Serums are a type of skin care formulation that are applied after cleansing and before moisturizing to target specific skin care concerns. The best face serums are lightweight and fast- absorbing with a liquid-based texture, which can help amplify the results of any at-home skin care product regimen. Depending on skin concern, there are antioxidant serums such as SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic to protect the skin from free radicals, and skin tone correcting serums such as SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense to treat hyperpigmentation. The best hydrating serums should include hyaluronic acid, such as SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. To discover the best serum for you, try SkinCeuticals’ routine builder, designed for your specific skin concerns.

SkinCeuticals serums are concentrated formulations designed to help prevent and correct the appearance of specific skin concerns and conditions. Some common uses for serums include improving the appearance of skin discoloration, wrinkles, acne, excess oil, redness or rough surface texture. The best vitamin C serums provide the skin with antioxidants to help prevent environmental damage. The best serums for dry skin contain ingredients that provide skin with much-needed hydration, such as hyaluronic acid serums. Finally, the best retinol serums should be formulated as a cream, and should be used alongside the best anti-aging serums, which improve the appearance of visible signs of aging.

Serums should be applied thinnest to thickest by texture immediately after cleansing and toning. Apply 4-5 drops of serum to a dry face, neck and chest before other anti-aging products. Complete your regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen.
