Skincare Treatments & Serums:

What are facial treatments and serums?

Facial serums and skin treatments are vital for any skincare routine. They contain high concentrations of active ingredients, they’re lightweight and they penetrate more deeply into the skin than heavier creams and lotions. There are serums for a wide variety of skin care concerns. For example, our Blemish Breakthrough Triple Acid Resurfacing Serum treats blemish-prone skin; the Vitamin C Serum evens skin tone and prevents premature aging and the Hydrating Face Serum soothes, protects and locks in moisture.

Serums are applied all over the face, neck and chest. If you need a more targeted treatment, you can supplement your serum of choice with a facial treatment. There are targeted treatments for acne, such as a acne fighting spot gel; as well as booster formulas like Hydrating Booster Drops and Antioxidant Booster Drops that can be added to your moisturizer or foundation to amp up hydration and prevent aging. Hydrating boosters promote plump and smooth skin, creating a great base for even makeup application.

When should I apply a serum?

Serums should always be part of your daily skin routine. Remember that skin treatments are highly concentrated, so you only need a pea-sized application. Begin by cleansing and toning your skin thoroughly. Then dispense a pea-sized amount of product onto your fingertips or onto the palm of your hands. Rub your hands or fingertips together to distribute the facial serum evenly, then gently press into your face, neck and chest until it’s absorbed into your skin. Do not rub or swipe at your face. Finish with your favorite moisturizer.

When should I apply a facial treatment?

A treatment, such as a spot gel or booster, can easily be incorporated into your skincare routine. Start by cleansing and toning your skin with products that are formulated for your skin type—acne-prone, oily, combination, dry, etc. Apply your facial serum, followed by a spot treatment and finishing with moisturizer. If you’re using booster drops, you can apply them directly onto your skin and press them in with your fingertips or add a few drops to your moisturizer or to your cream or liquid foundation.

What is Vitamin C serum and what does it do?

Vitamin C serum is one of the most popular skincare products today because it offers many benefits and noticeably improves the skin. Vitamin C is great for anti-aging—it’s known as an anti-oxidant which protects the skin against the free radicals that cause skin structure to break down. It also prevents and treats fine lines and wrinkles, targets dark spots on the skin and brightens your complexion overall.
