These Drugstore Face Serums Will Totally Transform Your Skin
February 23, 2018 by Lisa Cupido
There are basic steps everyone can take to ensure their skincare routines consist of products that will clean, tone, and keep skin hydrated and smooth. Most people are familiar with cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreen, and even toner. But the most exciting product by far — the one that doesn’t deserve to be neglected — is face serum.
A serum is a lightweight liquid formula that resembles moisturizer, but contains active ingredients that penetrate deep into skin to repair and refine your complexion. The truly great thing about serums is that there are so many — beauty stores offer a banquet of serum options and the formula you choose can address issues you might have thought you’d be stuck dealing with forever.
Got excessively dry skin that doesn’t seem to respond to moisturizers? Try a serum that is rich in ceramides, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid. Worried about how pollution and free radicals can damage your skin and cause signs of aging like wrinkles and hyperpigmentation? A vitamin C serum is fantastic at battling free radicals.
Whichever serum formula you choose, always apply it after toner and before moisturizer. And be sure to check labels because some ingredients, like retinol, should be applied only at night.
These four drugstore serums contain effective ingredients and won’t break the bank. What else could you want out of a magical skin elixir?
