Serum or cosmetic serum
The term "cosmetic serum" more familiar to our ear. But it synonymous with the word "serum" is not uncommon, especially among beauticians. In our everyday life, it has got from the English: serum means "concentrate."
Until recently Cosmetic Face Serum considered to be the product of a purely professional - Serum It used only in salons. Nowadays, in stores or pharmacies can be purchased for home use serum - on the Russian market presents a variety of types of sera, both domestic and foreign manufacturers of cosmetics. However, and Professional serum still used by experts. From home Professional serum characterized by a higher concentration of active ingredients and packaging they are sold in special capsules, and the series for home use - in small vials.

- Can I use Serum for the face without assigning a specialist? Yes, if you spend enough time to study the ingredient composition, confident in its effectiveness for yourself, carefully read the instructions for use. Otherwise, it may cause severe allergic reactions.

Comment Natalia Buzhinskaya
- Face Serum Engineered for rapid solutions to problems: acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, aging, power supply and humidification. It is the active ingredient, and more often in a combination, construct the entire formula. But usually, the list of components in the serum is much shorter than in a cream, for this reason. For example, C-15 syvortka from iSCLINICAL - of the active components in the composition - vitamin C - 15%, hyaluronic acid - 25% of zinc oxide and 2%. The rest - the intensity of wetting and penetration enhancers. The entire list of ingredients - 7 components, and believe that the technologically more difficult to create such a composition than the composition of the 40 components.
Serum and Cream: What's the difference?
There is a difference. Serum - A highly concentrated product, which contains about 10 times more biologically active agents than the most effective cream. The result of its application is seen immediately, since the skin instantly receives the required number of active substances in the most digestible form.
Typically, as the basis of serum used a very high concentration of fruit acids, as well as special substances that make the skin more permeable. These substances provide access to deeper layers of the skin. The active components of serum natural concentrates of vitamins A and E, and minerals penetrate into them and exert their beneficial effect - revitalize, moisturize, tighten and optimize the work of the sebaceous glands, depending on the purpose for which is whey.
At the last moment, you need to pay special attention. Cosmetic Serum - It is not a universal product, it is always limited purposeful action. Any serum with lifting effect, there is a moisturizing, nourishing, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, anti-stress - each of them has its own structure and its purpose.
Comment Natalia Buzhinskaya
In a sense, the compositions resemble serum drugs, built on the action of the active ingredient, other substances only help swallow, save, apply, as, say, the ointment. For example, biotechnological hyaluronic acid concentration in serum can reach 40%. This is a rather viscous consistency, creams contain very modest few percent. Serum can contain 100% of the plant extracts, the cream is impossible to achieve. The peptides in the serum can be a few percent, while in their hundredths of a cream.
Skin Problems
There serum, which are designed to deal with those, or other skin defect. In this case, the agent is applied locally on problem areas. But serums for general prevention skin problems applied to the entire surface of the face.
Those who are skin problems I would like to warn cosmetic serum - not a panacea by any skin problems they can not relieve. Serums tend to work on one or two specific situations. For example, serum for oily skin and moisturizes it optimizes the sebaceous glands.
Comment Natalia Buzhinskaya
Serum is not selected according to the type of skin, and this is also their hallmark. Sera were selected on the issue (and age) and composition, paying attention to the active ingredients. If you have acne, the respectively selected serum with active anti-inflammatory, seboreguliruyuschimi components, and this serum is suitable at any age. Improperly selected whey can harm the skin. A very simple example - sensitive skin, which has weakened the protective barrier capable of passing more deeply than necessary. At high concentrations it reacts inflammation, redness may rash.
In November of this year released a brand Clinique anti-aging serum Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector. The unique formula makes it work around the clock, smoothing out wrinkles and folds, removing the effects of skin damage by UV radiation accumulated over a lifetime. Highly active peptide complex enhances collagen production in the skin and protects the collagen fibers. The result is visible in less than 12 weeks, the skin becomes more elastic, the wrinkles - less visible, especially under the eyes. Three drops of serum twice a day wrinkles with efficiency 63% the effectiveness of medical laser.
Aqueous or oily
Cosmetic serum made either water- or oil-based. Use one or the other species should be based on the season. In winter and spring, when our skin needs extra protection and care, it is recommended to apply oil serum; summer and fall - water.
How to use cosmetic serum
Apply serum must be strictly after cleansing and toning the skin. Due to the fact that this tool is very concentrated, to use it you need to literally drop by drop. Two or three such drops are driven into the skin with light finger movements.
Some serum designed for use in tandem with the cream of the same cosmetic line. The cream should be applied a few minutes after serum - it creates a protective layer that saves serum from evaporation. Besides agent enhances the action of each other.
Apply serum usually recommend a short course, otherwise the skin oversaturated active substances and as a result there may be problems until the strongest dermatosis. Apply serum We need a maximum of twice a day - morning and evening techenie10-15 days. To conduct such a course is recommended three or four times a year. If there are several problems with the skin, during the course, you can alternately use different types of serum or apply them in different areas of the skin simultaneously.
Comment Natalia Buzhinskaya
- The current trend is that the serum is used more often as a single product and do not need to apply the cream on top. The compositions so precisely balanced that the additional burden on the skin is not suitable, or a combination of ingredients, whey and cream ingredients can give the opposite result. The skin will be red, swollen, there may be a rash or itching. In addition, the latest tools can be used for a long time, they are not addictive, there is no effect of the cancellation. Therefore, it is not forbidden to use them as long as you want. Using Anti-Aging serum within 3-6 months can then select another active composition with other key ingredients also effective in the fight against aging.
Important features
Regular use of serum gives a quick visible effect of rejuvenation. But - attention! - Serum with anti-aging effect in any case can not be used for young skin. Serums are struggling to outline a process of skin aging and, therefore, they should be applied at about the age of 30-35 years - not before. However, if the obvious skin problems there, then it should not worry too much care, and at this age.
Application of serum does not rule out the everyday tools of skin care products - milk, cleansing foam or gel, toner and moisturizer.
There are absolute contraindications to the use of sera. They can not be applied to owners of dark skin because serums have some whitening effect and as a result can make the face and neck contrasting. In addition, these agents are contraindicated in spider veins and papillomas - whey can "feed" the education and thus promote active growth.
Before you buy the serum, it is advisable to consult with professionals to determine your skin type and choose the appropriate option.
Comment Natalia Buzhinskaya
- It is better to use serum took place under the supervision of a specialist. For example, sometimes due to the high concentration of skin gradually "taught" to the drug by assigning it first in a day, and then once a day and then 2 times. Or the effect of certain active ingredients when applied in the morning, as the skin also has a biorhythm, and in the evening they are less active. Either serum retinol is better to use in the evening. Either serum when applied causes tingling, which just shows its action.
