- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Typically derived from fruit acids such as glycolic acid (from sugarcane), lactic acid (from milk), or citric acid (from citrus fruits). AHAs exfoliate the skin by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and revealing smoother, brighter skin. They can also help to fade dark spots, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Salicylic Acid: This beta hydroxy acid (BHA) is derived from willow bark. It is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil, dead skin cells, and other debris. Salicylic acid is highly effective for treating acne and preventing breakouts by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. It also has mild exfoliating properties, promoting smoother skin texture.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A naturally occurring substance in the skin, hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture. It has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it incredibly hydrating. Hyaluronic acid helps to plump and hydrate the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and providing a dewy, youthful complexion.
- Preparation: Start with a clean, dry face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup residue.
- Patch Test: If you're using the serum for the first time or have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any adverse reactions.
- Application: Dispense a small amount of the serum onto your fingertips or palm. Gently apply it to your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Use upward, circular motions to ensure even coverage.
- Wait Time: Allow the serum to absorb fully into your skin before applying any other products. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Follow-up: Depending on your skincare routine, you can follow up with a moisturizer, sunscreen (if using during the day), or other serums or treatments. It's essential to use sunscreen during the day, especially when using products containing AHAs and salicylic acid, as they can increase sensitivity to the sun.
- Frequency: Start by using the serum once a day, preferably in the evening
- Moisturize: follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
- Consistency: Consistency is key for seeing results. Use the serum regularly as part of your skincare routine to experience the full benefits over time.
