The Benefits of Using Serums

Research has shown that moisture is an important key to maintaining skin’s youthful glow. During the winter months, our skin can become dry, serving as a reminder to use additional moisturizing products. The summer, however, is a different story. The humid air allows us to take a vacation from heavy product application, and often times applying a moisturizer is not necessary. While your skin may not need a cream or lotion to feel moisturized, applying a moisturizing serum is still a good, daily practice...no matter what the season. Most serums on the market contain restorative and skin-firming ingredients, like antioxidants and peptides, which are beneficial no matter what the weather.

By design, serums are lightweight, quick to absorb into skin, and fast acting. While lotions and creams contain heavy emollients and filler ingredients (purposefully included to create a barrier that retains moisture), serums are specifically formulated to penetrate the skin. They have a high concentration of active ingredients, which efficiently and effectively deliver their benefits deep within the skin.

While most serums work to hydrate skin, their added benefits can vary. Our Daytime and Nighttime Antioxidant Serums, for example, are formulated with antioxidants that prevent the formation of free radicals. The Daytime Serum has organic botanicals like Green Tea, Olive Leaf, Calendula, and Helichrysum that protect and repair. The Nighttime Serum contains another set of powerful botanicals like organic Sea Buckthorn Oil, Ubiquinone, and Licorice Root. Our Peptide Booster Serum uses vegetable derived pea peptides to boost the skin’s collagen and elastin production using an oil-free medium. All can work alone or be used in conjunction with other products.
