Face Serums – Our Top Picks

Serums, unlike cleansers, toners and moisturisers have the solo skincare power to really make transformations to your complexion and in our opinion, is the most important and results driven step in your beauty regime.

If you are unsure on exactly what a serum is then lets get back to basics. A serum is a deeply penetrating product that includes a highly concentrated formula of ingredients aimed at a particular skincare concern. So, depending on the issue you have, for example say your skin is dry then a serum with hyaluronic acid would be best, or if you suffer from breakouts then the serum to go for would be one with added salicylic acid and witch hazel.

We’re not saying stop using a cleanser, but we are saying that serum offers a targeted solution to your skincare woes and the category options are so broad that there really is a serum for everyone! To put it simply serums are big business so if you haven’t found one that works for you or you don’t know where to start on your serum hunt, here we have a serum for every skin issue to help you achieve the skin of your dreams…
