Reviews

Natalia: “At work, I have to sit at a PC for a long time and, naturally, squint. As a result, noticeable crow's feet appeared around the eyes. I’ve been using the serum for about three weeks, and not every day. The effect is pleasing, wrinkles are not so noticeable, the skin around the eyes is more elastic and smooth. It’s a pleasure to use the serum; it has a convenient pipette and is used very economically.”

Olga Zemtsova: “Simply an irreplaceable product for my capricious skin. Now I just need a few drops of youth activator in the morning to be ready for further makeup. You don’t have to apply day cream, the skin is filled with moisture, and at the same time you feel elasticity, there is no feeling of a mask on your face. For my combination skin, this is a godsend. I recommend!”

Svetlana Baranovskaya: “I’ve been using the serum for a month. Fine wrinkles have noticeably smoothed out, facial tone has improved, and visible skin fatigue has gone away. And with every use, the skin becomes smoother. In combination with Visionnaire creams, the effect is bomb!”

Corrective serum to increase the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin H.A. Intensifier, SkinCeuticals

This product is confirmation that cosmetics for home use are close in effectiveness to cosmetic procedures. As you know, dehydration and loss of elasticity are the main signs of aging skin caused by a decrease in the production of hyaluronic acid in cells. This serum increases its level by 30%. The skin becomes denser, fuller, moisturized and smooth.

Reviews

Natalya: “My skin is sensitive, oily, porous - in general, nothing good. But SkinCeuticals products solved all my problems, for which I thank them very much. I especially want to mention the serum H.A. Intensifier. The result was not long in coming, the skin became better and better every day. All fine wrinkles are gone, the skin is smooth. And what is most unexpected, the deep expression wrinkle on my forehead, which I have had since I was 16, began to disappear. If you haven't made your choice yet, I recommend it."

Daria: “Last year I took a course of hyaluronic acid injections. Of course, the effect is impressive. I decided to repeat the course this year, but first I tried this serum. I’ve been using it for a month and the effect is the same as with injections! The skin is moisturized, smooth, both in the morning and late in the evening. The swelling under the eyes has gone away, the skin tone has become even, and the color has become healthy, as if at 20 years old. I decided to hold off on the next course of injections.”

Anti-aging serum “Revitalift Laser x3” against wrinkles, L’Oréal Paris

The inspiration for the developers of this serum came from nothing more and nothing less than laser skin rejuvenation procedures. The product works in three directions at once, transforming the skin from the outside and restoring it from the inside.

Proceramide and lipohydroxy acid update and restore epidermis, tighten pores and add radiance.

Proxilan stimulates collagen production and increases elasticity skin.

Fragmented hyaluronic acid works with wrinkles penetrating deep into the epidermis.

Intensive serum for youthful skin Liftactiv Supreme Serum 10, Vichy

The formula is based on powerful anti-aging components.

Plant sugar rhamnose at a concentration of 10% stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid increases moisture levels and accelerates cell restoration processes in the deep layers of the epidermis.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing protective film on the surface of the skin.

The result is a lifting effect, smoothing of wrinkles, firmness and elasticity of the skin. The serum can be used to correct existing age-related changes and prevent them.

Reviews

Olga: “Excellent Vichy product. Before that, I specifically took a sample, and after about a week the results became visible. The skin is fresher, fine wrinkles have become less noticeable. I love".

Irina: “Great feeling from using the serum! The texture is light, like water. You apply it to your face, and it feels like it just “sinks” into the skin! It’s too early to talk about wrinkle correction, but my skin looks like I went on vacation.”

Julia: “The impressions are the most positive. The serum does not leave an oily sheen, while the skin is very soft, as if filled from the inside and super moisturized. The effect remains throughout the day. I liked it very much, I recommend it."

Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, Kiehl’s

The serum fights the signs of age with one of the most powerful antioxidants - pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) at a concentration of 10.5%. There is clinical evidence that the concentrate significantly improves skin tone and texture, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and adds radiance. The effect is achieved with the help of glycerin, which moisturizes the skin and helps the product to be distributed evenly.

Reviews

Marina: “When applied, a slight heating effect is felt. I use it without cream, because my skin is prone to oiliness. There is enough moisture, there is a slight shine after application. I've been using it for 2 weeks and my skin has become more elastic and radiant! Skin tone has evened out."

Titi: “I started using it simply for the feeling of comfort - my skin lacked night care. But literally in the first week I already noticed the result. The large expression wrinkle on the forehead became less noticeable and smoothed out. Honestly, I didn’t even dare to expect such a fantastic effect!”

Sasha: “I apply it at night, and in winter and in the morning, under cream with SPF. Yes, the skin glows after it. Yes, it restores and heals small cracks and post-acne. In general, a worthwhile product. I somehow believe in him :-)"

Facial serum is quickly absorbed into the skin, transporting many beneficial components to its very depths. Despite their light texture, such products are maximally “charged” with active substances that are necessary to maintain the health and beauty of the face. And the choice of serums is simply crazy: for any task, for any skin type, there is a unique composition that will moisturize, nourish, eliminate oily shine or instantly rejuvenate it. But only those that can provide comprehensive care will be the best.

Which facial serum to choose?

Since any serum is deeply absorbed into the skin, it is worth thinking about how delicately it will act there. In order for a care product to be beneficial and not aggravate existing problems, you need to use cosmetics from companies that monitor the quality and safety of their products. Well, let’s not forget about their effectiveness.

The most effective facial serums with a minimal percentage of individual reactions are produced by the following companies:

3. Mades Cosmetics

6.SesDerma Laboratories

Products from famous networkers: Avon and Faberlic also appeared in reviews.

The Best Moisturizing Facial Serums

Almea H.A. Serum

British facial serum is enriched with hyaluronic acid, which gives a moisturizing effect. It can be used from the age of 18 on any skin type, but on mature skin the effect will be more noticeable.

The best mattifying facial serums

Face Serum Magistral Sebatics

An indispensable serum for oily, problem and combination skin is produced as part of the Ella Bache professional series. In addition to eliminating sebaceous shine (by regulating the secretion of sebum), this remedy also treats inflammation.

Contains grapefruit seed extract, zinc and salicylic acid. The serum is very light and can be used even under daytime makeup, but it is better to apply it in courses: 3-4 times a year for 1-2 months. The volume of the standard bottle is 30 ml, but there are 3 ml samples.

Pros:

1. Very deep cleansing of pores;
2. Gets rid of subcutaneous tissue (fat);
3. Evens out the tone of the face and smoothes the texture;
4. Mattifies and tightens the skin;
5. There is an accumulation effect;
6. Convenient bottle with pipette;
7. Economical consumption, like all active serums.

Minuses:

1. If applied in excess, it rolls off on the surface of the skin;
2. Unpleasant smell.

Despite the manufacturer’s age recommendations (18+), the serum works best on “adult” skin – after 30.

Vigor "Pink Grapefruit"

This serum has an unusual, but very correct combination of properties - matting and moisturizing. In addition, it also prevents excess skin pigmentation, especially during pregnancy. The product contains essential oils: grapefruit, orange and grape extract, which restore smoothness and elasticity to the face. The volume of the bottle is 50 ml.

Pros:

1. Relieves inflammation;
2. Reduces enlarged pores;
3. Doesn't leave behind stickiness, but doesn't dry out either;
4. Does not conflict with caring and decorative cosmetics;
5. Low consumption;
6. Low price.

Minuses:

1. Not everyone likes the smell;
2. The dispenser gives a lot of pressure.

As with other active products, opinions about this serum were divided: some achieved a wow effect, others achieved a barely noticeable matte effect. However, the properties declared by the manufacturer are in most cases confirmed by reviews.

Bioderma Sebium Serum

Of course, the main purpose of this serum is to smooth out problematic skin, but it also provides a mattifying effect at a very high level. The composition of the product is quite complex, although there are only 3 main components: silica, which removes greasy shine from the face, zinc gluconate, which regulates fat secretion and vitamin B6. The serum is used in courses of 4 weeks, every 2 days. Tube volume 40 ml.

Pros:

1. Reduces existing acne and prevents the appearance of new ones;
2. Removes oily shine;
3. Does not leave a film on the face;
4. Thin spout - convenient to apply serum to small areas of skin;
5. Without smell.

Minuses:

1. Dries out - it is better not to apply to the skin around the eyes;
2. The effect does not become noticeable immediately.

The best facial serums to restore radiance

Natuvalia Glowing Ampoules

Treatment serum in ampoules from SesDerma Laboratories is designed for dull, dry skin that lacks a healthy glow. The main component is incredibly simple - vitamin C, which protects the face from sun rays and free radicals. To achieve the effect of beautiful skin, it is enough to use the concentrated serum once or twice a week. The box contains 5 “pharmacy” ampoules of 2 ml each.

Pros:

1. Visible improvements already in the morning;
2. Absorbs well despite its oiliness;
3. Returns smoothness to the skin;
4. Noticeable effect of skin lightening and light moisturizing;
5. Economical - 1 ampoule is enough for 2-3 applications.

Minuses:

This serum works very well under alginate masks. It is better not to leave the ampoules themselves open - it is advisable to draw out the remaining product into a syringe and hide it in a dark place (vitamin C is destroyed in the sun).

Faberlic “Air Stream Oxygen Shine Highlighting” highlighter

An interesting serum that returns the “glow of youth” to the face and can be used after 20 years. It restores and strengthens the skin, but to achieve the desired effect of a sleek face, the manufacturer resorted to a trick. It is not the miracle components that give the skin radiance after the first use, but the smallest reflective particles.

On the other hand, there are also enough useful substances in its formula - these are oxygen and detox complexes, which, under the guise of shimmer, improve the actual condition of the skin. The product is sold in a bottle (15 ml) with a pipette dispenser.

Pros:

1. Nice texture;
2. Absorbs well into the skin and does not feel like a film on it;
3. Really gives a subtle glow;
4. Can be used as a base for makeup.

Minuses:

1. Pungent smell of perfume;
2. Used up quickly.

Women in the reviews recommend mixing the highlighter with the makeup base so that the small bottle lasts longer.

Best Whitening Serums for Face

Vitex >

This corrector serum with a “smart brightening” effect is designed to remove too bright freckles and age spots from the face. Naturally, the composition here is much more complex than that of other products, and does not please with the abundance of natural ingredients. The serum should be used 2 times a day, constantly, but the first results will be noticeable no earlier than 2-3 weeks of use. Tube volume 30 ml.

Pros:

1. Light texture, does not make the skin oily;
2. Evens out the color quite well;
3. Dries and tightens pores;
4. Quickly absorbed, pleasant to apply;
5. Low price.

Minuses:

1. The Belarusians clearly overdid it with the fragrance;
2. Individually, it can cause rashes or peeling of the skin.

The brightening serum requires long-term use and preferably with other products from its series (at least with day cream). However, after 2 months its effectiveness becomes noticeable even to outsiders.

Skinniks Whitening Intense Anti-spot

Whitening product from Mades Cosmetics is intended for skin with age spots in the age category 45+. In addition, it provides the mature dermis with hydration and the nutrition it needs at deep levels.

This remedy works by blocking the production of melanin, so if you want to sunbathe in the summer, you will have to take a break from the course much earlier. The serum contains macadamia and grape seed oil, citrus extracts, as well as vitamins C, E, B5 and panthenol. The bottle comes with a volume of 15 ml.

Pros:

1. Evens out complexion after 2 weeks;
2. Returns skin elasticity, smoothes microrelief;
3. Long-lasting moisturizing effect;
4. Does a good job of muffling freckles and excess pigmentation;
5. Can be used under makeup.

Minuses:

1. All natural ingredients are far from the top of the list.

In the same line there is a brightening serum with a similar effect, Illuminating Face. It has additional firming and rejuvenating properties, but is intended for younger skin (35+), and its whitening effect is less pronounced.

The best facial serums with an anti-aging effect

Belita "Laser Like System Serum"

A moisturizing and nourishing anti-age serum is presented as an alternative to laser peeling, except that it does not have as many side effects. The product contains chicory and caesalpinia extract, peach seed oil, and caffeine, which increases skin tone. The serum is sold in a 30 ml tube with a long dispenser spout. Recommended for use at the age of 40+.

Pros:

1. Quickly absorbed thanks to its light texture;
2. Restores the oval of the face;
3. Smoothes even deep wrinkles;
4. Improves and evens out skin tone;
5. Compacts the loose epidermis on the surface;
6. Lightens age spots;
7. Can be applied under makeup;
8. Does not cause irritation even on sensitive skin, although it does sting.

Minuses:

1. It has a strong smell, but when applied it quickly disappears;
2. Dry skin may require a good moisturizer.

Shary Hyaluronic Acid

A serum with a maximum content of hyaluronic acid perfectly moisturizes the skin and smoothes out both small networks of wrinkles and deep folds (of course, not to the point of complete disappearance). It is sold in the form of sachets of 2 g, but the servings can be stretched for 2-3 applications.

Pros:

1. It has a light texture and is instantly absorbed;
2. There are no restrictions on skin type;
3. Refreshes and gives the face a healthy appearance, acts almost immediately;
4. Does not cause allergies;
5. Without smell;
6. Increases skin elasticity, visibly tightening the contour and removing “bags”;
7. It's very cheap.

Minuses:

1. Not all sachets contain the same amount of product;
2. Leaves a sticky film.

Despite the extremely simple and unpretentious composition, this product really does have an instant lifting effect. The only thing is that you shouldn’t overuse hyaluronic acid on young skin. But for those whose face is already losing its shape, you can use it without restrictions.

Avon Anew “Maximum Youth”

The bestseller from the online giant has a thicker gel consistency and only works in conjunction with an anti-aging cream. However, this serum has a whole army of fans. It turns out that the composition itself can do something, since it contains hyaluronic acid, peptides and protective vitamin E. The main active ingredient here turned out to be glycerin, so when used solo, you need to apply the serum only to damp skin, and the silicones will reliably “lock in” the water inside.

Pros:

1. Light consistency;
2. Makes the complexion more even, removes grayness;
3. The skin feels elastic and velvety to the touch;
4. Smoothes out fine wrinkles, although not immediately;
5. Very economical use;
6. With a reasonable approach, it can be used as an independent product;
7. There is a cumulative effect;
8. Original design and convenient bottle with dispenser.

Minuses:

1. The price is clearly too high, but you can wait for good discounts;
2. Cheap active ingredients are glycerin and silicone.

Which face serum to buy

1. For dry and tired aging skin, you need a real energy cocktail with a moisturizing effect - Almea H.A. Serum.

2. As an SOS remedy when skin dryness has reached catastrophic levels, an intensely moisturizing serum from Clarins is suitable.

3. Young women under the age of 35 with dry, flaky skin will be helped by the Super Aqua Ultra Waterfool gel serum from Missha.

4. For oily, but no longer young skin, the best option that solves all problems is Magistral Sebatics serum from Ella Bache. Bioderma Sebium will work no less effectively (without age restrictions).

5. An inexpensive matting product is offered by Vigor - this is “Pink Grapefruit”, which at the same time provides oily skin with good hydration.

6. Natuvalia Glowing serum with ascorbic acid in ampoules can nourish tired skin and restore its radiance.

7. If you don’t want to wait months for a healthy glow to appear on your face, you can cheat and take a highlighter from Faberlic with concealing reflective particles.

8. Vitex Ideal Whitening serum will help get rid of freckles and age spots on oily skin. For dry skin, it is better to choose Intense Anti-spot from Mades Cosmetics.

9. If you are already over 40, but want to erase ten years from your face, choose Laser Like System from the Belarusian company Belita.

10. For course use and instant lifting, a serum from Shary with hyaluronic acid is suitable.

11. If, in addition to the anti-aging effect, you also need powerful hydration of the skin from the inside, look for the “Maximum Youth” serum in the Avon catalogs.

Anti-aging serum is a special cosmetic skin care product that has recently gained great popularity. You will learn about the principles of its action, as well as the best means of this type, from this article.

Operating principle and effectiveness

Every day, consumer expectations regarding any cosmetic product are becoming higher. Just a couple of years ago, cream was needed only to moisturize dry epidermis. Nowadays, cosmetic skin care products solve many problems. Manufacturers promise that the composition of any anti-aging cream or serum can not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also slow down the aging process. It is worth noting that over the past decades, many successful studies have indeed been carried out, which allow today to produce high-quality anti-aging products.

A concentrated product that is aimed at eliminating a cosmetic problem is called a serum. As a rule, such a tool does not have a large number of components, but it allows you to solve a specific problem in a relatively short period of time. For example, the product can smooth out wrinkles, make the epidermis denser, tighten the oval of the face, moisturize or even out skin tone.

The effectiveness of anti-aging serum, in comparison with a similar cream, is due to the increased concentration of ingredients necessary to achieve a certain effect. The technology of exposure to the skin and the method of penetration of the components into the layers of the epidermis are different. Creams are still products for more universal purposes. Their manufacturers try to please as many consumers as possible. While the serum is aimed at solving a specific problem.

Scientists have proven that aging is not the only factor in the development of wrinkles. The fact is that the epidermis layer begins to change under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and a dirty environment. These two factors put significant pressure on the production of collagen fibers, causing the skin to become less firm and elastic. Anti-aging facial serum, which is a kind of corrector against deep wrinkles, is created taking into account all these nuances.

Serum can also be used as a cream enhancer.

Rating of the best manufacturers

The range marked Anti-Age, which means “anti-aging”, is able to amaze even the most demanding consumer with its diversity. It's easy to get confused with so many cosmetic brands. However, as in any other area, among anti-aging products there are options that confidently occupy leading positions. Let's look at some of them.

1. Firming essence with iris and lavender from a French brand Decleor I managed to fall in love with many women. In addition to an incredibly pleasant aroma, this cosmetic product has the ability to reduce the formation of new expression wrinkles, correct the shape of the face and penetrate all layers of the skin. The essence helps to start the process of producing collagen fibers, the number of which decreases significantly as we grow older. In this regard, the epidermis becomes more elastic, tightened and smooth. It is worth noting that Decleor has no place for parabens and silicones, since the French brand is famous for its categorical attitude towards low-quality components. This cosmetic product does not clog into pores, does not form blackheads and does not provoke acne. Its use is effective after thirty years, during a period when the epidermis becomes drier, and therefore requires additional hydration from the outside.

For a more pronounced result, include a facial massage in your rejuvenation program.
