Today we are going to look a number of face serum that are available in the market. From all the products, Which one works better at giving results. I have compiled the best face serum for skin brightening, Skin lightening and pigmentation problems.

These are the absolute best face serum’s right now that are available here.

Why DO I Say So?

As  your read on, You can see the ingredient analysis i have done for each product. This will help your choose the best face serum that suits your skin.

A few well known products do not have their ingredient list available, Hence i could not include it in this post. I certainly wound not recommend such products to my viewers.

We do not know for sure what ingredients they use for fast results.  Due to the same reason i do not trust such brands.

What Is A face Serum ?

First of all, A face serum is usually light weight and easily absorbed while being rich with potent ingredients for skin nourishment and overall hydration.

Another reason that a face serum has a long list of chemical ingredients compared to a face cream.

Do Not Fret, They Are Perfectly Safe For Your Skin. 🙂

What Does A face Serum Do To Your face?

The serum molecules are of smaller size compared to other creams. This more likely enables them to penetrate deeper in to the layers of the skin.

Depending on the ingredients,A facial Serum may help to reduce pore size, Diminish Lines and Wrinkles, Brighten your skin.

And hence on consistent usage, a face serum helps achieve a clear and even skin tone with smooth texture. 🙂

Also, A face serum usually has a concentration of 5-20% of potent ingredients may it be antioxidants like Vitamin C or anti aging ingredients like Retinol. These ingredients are most certainly considered the miracle ingredients in anti aging skin care.

How Do We Use A face Serum?

A face Serum can be applied twice a day after cleansing and toning. You can apply the same serum for both routine or a different one depending upon the needs of your skin.

Make sure to use Retinol based face serum during the night only.

Take a pump of facial serum and dot your face. Go with dotting on your Forehead, Nose, Cheeks and finally the chin. Pat gently so that the serum gets absorbed easily.

• Cleanser-Toner-Serum-Moisturiser-Sunscreen-Makeup If using any.

This is the order of using skin care products.

• Double Cleanse at night if you are using makeup.

What Are The benefits Of using A face Serum?

Based On The Ingredients, They May Provide The Below benefits

• Acne Prevention
• Non Oily hence Matte Effect
• Water Based hence less breakouts
• Fade Marks And Dark Spots
• Supply Vitamins, Minerals And Peptides
• Reduce Fine Lines And Wrinkles
• Even Out Your Skin
• Treat Pigmentation
• Brighten Skin Tone

Why Is A face Serum Expensive?

A face serum contains no fillers and therefore has a concentrated 10-20% potent ingredients. Some face serum even has up to 70% potent ingredients. As a result, They consequently produce results over time.

The face serum molecules are smaller than that of any other skincare product and hence they penetrate deeper. Therefore, They provide better results too compared to cream based products.

Above all, most potent anti oxidant are unstable compounds. Making them stable is a difficult process.

What Are The Side Effects of Using A face Serum?

If you overuse any face serum, You may face irritation, redness, Rashes, Itching Skin. You may end up damaging your skin.

Better use as per direction. Stop using if your skin is irritated and let the irritation subside and heal. May be then you can start over.

Do we need both Serum And A Moisturiser?

A face serum is usually light weight and watery/Thinner in texture. They do not contain water sealing ingredients added to them and hence they do not really help much in sealing the moisture content of your skin.

A moisturiser on the other hand is much heavier and creamy. The ingredients in a moisturiser helps lock moisture and hydrates your skin. That is probably a moisturiser’s primary purpose.
