To help you choose the perfect serum for you, here is an introduction to 6 common types of serum:

Acne-Fighting Serum

It helps manage the absorption of excess oil on your skin, irritation & redness caused by acne breakouts.

Anti-Aging Serum
As you get older, your skin starts to sag, dry, and have fine lines and wrinkles. The anti-aging serum helps you to treat these aging problems. It helps slow down your skin’s aging process and makes it look younger and healthier.

The two most common active ingredients in this type of serum are Vitamin B3 & Vitamin A.

Skin Brightening Serum
If you have dark spots, dark circles, and uneven skin tone, skin-brightening serums are perfect for you. It lightens and brightens your face while evening out your skin tone giving it a younger and healthier glow.

Niacinamide and Vitamin C and E are these serum’s three most common active ingredients. All of these ingredients help make your skin achieve a vibrant and fair complexion.

Hydrating Serum
If you have dry skin or are exposed to heat, pollution, or long hours of work, your skin gets easily dehydrated. That is why you need hydrating serums to keep your skin hydrated, moisturized, and healthy.

Hydrating serums help amplify the effects of a moisturizer giving your skin a boost.

The main active ingredient of this serum is Hyaluronic acid which keeps 2000 times water in it.

Exfoliating Serum
There are two ways you can exfoliate your face; one is manually exfoliating it using coarse and grainy scrub and the other one is through the use of an exfoliating chemical which could be in a form of serum.

Now, don’t be scared of the word ‘chemical’. Exfoliating serums are entirely safe when used appropriately. Plus, it’s an easier method to reduce dark spots and achieve a fair and even skin tone.

Before choosing the right serum for you, it is vital that you have to know and understand what your skin type is. When you do, you will know exactly which one is for you.

Serums are very concentrated that’s why they are very effective in healing and improving any skin type.

But remember, serums are not magic. Results still vary for every skin type.
