Packed with potent ingredients, serums should be an essential step in every skincare routine. From formulations created for the sensitive area around the eyes to never forgetting your lips, neck, décolletage and hands, these are the serums to invest in now.

Eye On Serums

The skin around your eye area is notoriously sensitive, and it is also one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing. It’s essential to stop fine lines and wrinkles in their tracks with formulas that pack a punch of active ingredients. Whilst your favourite eye cream is perfect for hydrating, it is often too thick with oils and fats, meaning they can’t penetrate the skin as deeply as water-based eye serums. For the best results, apply a small amount of serum to your ring finger, dab it gently around the eye, and blend it in with a dotting motion. Leave for a few minutes before applying your eye cream with the same method.

Face It

Face serums are often one of the most expensive investments in your skincare routine, but with good reason. Super concentrated and packed full of potent ingredients. They work deep in the skin for game-changing results. When choosing the perfect face serum, it’s essential to understand the ingredients you're investing in. Some blend together a carefully curated selection of active ingredients, and others have one star of the show like retinol. Start with one, patch test it and then develop your serum skin story from there. Just remember, when it comes to serums, more is not always better.

In The Detail

It’s important to take time to look after every part of your body. The lips, neck, décolletage, and hands are just some of the areas overlooked. Take time to research formulas that have been created for these parts or find one that is multipurpose. Often these areas could use a boost of hydration that helps infuse the sensitive skin with some much-needed moisture. Formulas that also focus on age management are effective options to consider too.
