Science Behind Serum

Nowadays, it feels like we need a beauty degree just to figure out what skin care we should use. Take serums, for instance. What makes them any different than moisturizers? And what are the benefits of adding this extra step to your skin care routine? 

Are you wondering why serums are so hyped these days? It’s because serums can help tackle a number of skincare concerns and serums can help you achieve your dream skin without spending thousands of takas on dermatologists. Sounds too good to be true, right? 

Serums can do all that without breaking your bank.

What is a serum, you ask? Serums are skin care products that are designed to deliver high concentrations of specific active ingredients to the skin. There are many different types of serums on the market that perform different jobs, ranging from hydration, anti-aging, pigmentation and brightening. 

Serums have antioxidant filled ingredients like vitamin A, C, B, E, retinols, acids etc. These ingredients penetrate the deep layers of our skin to treat specific skin problems and to boost hydration for healthy looking skin. When serums are layered underneath moisturizers they work to target specific skin issues like pigmentation, dullness, signs of aging, acne etc. Serums are the best way to target specific skin concerns as they have high concentration and potency. It’s important when choosing a serum to know which skin concern you’re hoping to target. 

Reasons why you need to add a serum in your skin care regimen: 

 Hydration

Even though moisturizers moisturize skin but moisturizers can not penetrate in your skin, serums can moisturize skin better as they are thinner than moisturizers and more humectants can penetrate through the skin from serums because of it’s small molecules, serums can penetrate directly. Those humectants hydrate the skin deeply making it supple, soft and healthy. Lafz has introduced a serum that hydrates the skin and locks in moisture. The hydra-lock serum from lafz has olive derived squalane to deeply hydrate the skin from within. 

Rejuvenation 

Serums that contain a lot of antioxidants like retinols, vitamin c, niacinamide etc. rejuvenates the skin by eradicating signs of aging through increasing collagen production of the skin’s deep layers. Those serums provide a youthful glow and firm skin without fillers or botox. Lafz skin renewal serum has niacinamide to give you a youthful glow.

Pigmentation Removal

Some of us have pigmentations on our skin caused by acne, the sun’s harmful rays and lifestyle choices. These stubborn pigmentations take forever to go but serums make the skin’s  turnover rate a lot faster making skin pigmentations lighten a lot faster. Serums that contain alpha arbutin, niacinamide, vitamin c and retinol/ retinoic acids can help remove pigmentation from skin to make it more even-toned and radiant. Lafz luminous serum has alpha arbutin to remove pigmentation from skin without irritating it.

Brightness

Serums help make the skin look brighter by removing the skin’s dead cells from the top layer and revealing a fresh layer of skin that’s free from dead cells. AHA, Alpha arbutin, niacinamide, vitamin c can brighten skin and make it look glowy. Lafz renewal and luminous serums are best if you want an even-toned skin with brightness.

Overall, a serum is a skin care solution that can concentrate on the flaws of our skin. Starting from the dryness, hyperpigmentation, dark-spots and new formation of skin. It’s formulation is put in such a way that works as a healing source for some skin problem sufferers. Not only for the people who has skin problems but also to the ones who wants an excellent skin after the cleansing steps.
