What are ‘actives’ in face serum? How do they work?


Now a days, the skin care industries are booming with serums, cleansers, moisturizers and several other lifestyle products containing facial actives to treat numerous skin complications. Almost every lifestyle brand is cropping up with some or the other new product containing these facial actives. Internet, shopping malls, departmental stores are filled with advertisements claiming their products have the most powerful facial ‘actives’ to treat our skin just right. Choosing the best one among these really becomes a tough job. I am sure reading through this will help us to clearly understand what facial actives are and how they help our skin. 

What actually are these facial ‘actives’?

Facial actives are strong ingredients that are used to treat several skin conditions. Let’s begin by just describing a few of them to get an idea as to how they repair our skin.  Salicylic acid aid in curing acne problems while Glycolic acid can help reduce dryness and age spots whereas lactic acid is great for gently exfoliating and hydrating sensitive skin. Alpha hydroxyl acids are commonly used to diminish fine lines and decrease hyperpigmentation. Hence, these and many more essential actives bring dramatic effects on our skin with proper use.

How do they work on our skin?

The concentration level of each acid varies from one another to heal different skin concerns results. As the actives change the skin on a chemical level, they often have a noticeable effect on the appearance of skin. They typically work by peeling off the top layer of skin thus making the skin more radiant. These actives usually maintain the pH level of skin and make the skin better. Basically, you name it and the actives have it!! A facial active is the ultimate life savior to most of the skin problems.

Is Zyan and Myza vitamin C worth the hype?

As this serum is enriched with a derivative of Vitamin C i.e. 3-O- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, it acts like a blessing for us to remove hyperpigmentation and dark spots easily and treat dullness from the root of skin.
