Serum – we have all heard the word, but no one is quite sure about what it actually is! These potent products are to be used for a specific action – wrinkle reduction, dark spots, puffiness and such others. Fast acting, easily absorbed and light on skin, these products are a breakthrough in the beauty industry! As a part of our skincare series, we’ve listed out our 5 favourite serums!
1. Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum
Targets: Dark spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dullness and loss of elasticity
This serum should be renamed as a super serum! #1 on our list, this serum’s patented technology provides targeted repair, based on your skin’s unique concerns. If there’s only one serum you can pick, opt for this one!
2. Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum
Targets: Wrinkles, spots, and all signs of ageing
Got crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles? Worry not, Olay has come to the rescue! This ultra-lightweight serum renews the outer layer of the skin to reveal smoother and younger looking skin!
3. Lancôme DreamTone Serum
Targets: Dark spots, and uneven tone
This serum is truly a dream! Customised for all skin tones (fair, medium, and dark), it visibly corrects the problems that each skin tone faces! Overall, it fights against dark spots and uneven skin tone, while specifically targeting redness, sallowness, and acne scars, for fair, medium and dark tones, respectively. How cool is that?
4. YSL Forever Youth Liberator Eye Zone Serum
Targets: Puffiness, dark circles and fine lines
Our eyes are constantly strained due to stress, laptop screens (blogging is a hard job!), lack of sleep etc. Rejuvenate your peepers with this amazing serum which diminishes dark circles, puffiness and makes the eye zone supple and firm! We were amazed at the difference it made to our eyes, after just a week of application!
5. Clarins Truly Matte Pore Minimizing Serum
Target: Oily skin, and large pores
Oily-skinned ladies, if you think serums aren’t for you, then it’s time to change your thinking! Clarin’s mattifying serum is a delight – it purifies, and tightens skin, minimises pores and controls shine, to deliver a fresh look that lasts all day.
Although expensive (they contain high concentrations of potent ingredients!), these super-luxurious serums are worth their weight in gold! Layer them under your daily moisturizer and watch them work their magic!
