Serums for skin care came to us from professional cosmetology, in which they are actively used to this day. Serum is a concentrated product with a high content of biologically active substances, much more than in a cream. For example, in a usual day cream contains 25% of the total volume of these active ingredients, and in cosmetic serum they contain not less than 80%.That's why they act much faster, the effect of their use is noticeable faster, and they act more purposefully. You can say that these drugs have a strong and powerful effect on your face. On what basis do sera?
Most often, serums are made on an oil or water basis. Their high penetrating power is provided by the presence of enhancers - peculiar conductors, possessing the properties to open the ways of access to the deepest layers of the skin. These products contain a carefully calculated portion of ingredients, so that the benefits from it were maximum, and there was no oversaturation. The main formula is influenced by the goals: the composition of cosmetic serums can include hyaluronic acid, elastin, collagen, plant extracts, seaweed extracts, vitamins, panthenol and others that solve the basic skin problems. So, serums for flabby and wrinkled skin can contain wheat proteins, pineapple extract, ginseng, papaya, oak bark.

Local action of serums.
Serums act locally, unlike the cream. Therefore, there are serums for the face, neck, lips, decollete, skin around the eyes. Due to the fact that the product is very concentrated, it is necessary to handle it carefully. Experts advise to use the courses: one to two weeks, then a break for several months, no more than six months. During this period, the cosmetic effect of the serum becomes maximum, gradually increasing, even if you do not use this remedy any more. Oil-based sera are great for winter, but anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are not suitable for colds, since they are capable of casting off the skin.
Professional whey.
Of course, the largest assortment of high-quality serums for skin care is present among professional. They, most often, are produced in ampoules, each ampoule is designed for one time. And this form of release is very convenient, since there is no need to store it in an open form, and it does not lose its useful properties. Often, professional serums are combined with massage and hardware methods. This improves their penetration and stimulates the accumulation process, so the effect is more pronounced and manifests much faster, and the result lasts longer.
Serums for home use.
Serum for home use contains a lower concentration. But even before their use, advice of a cosmetologist is desirable. It is advisable to use the drug no more than twice a day. To achieve better results, you can use various means: for example, in the morning - rejuvenating and moisturizing serum, and in the evening - anti-stress or nutritious.
Serum can be used from 25 years of age. It is very important to test the product before use( apply it on the back of your wrist and evaluate the result after 20 minutes).Thanks to serums, a quick visual effect is obtained, which is very important from the point of view of psychology: it was applied to the skin of the face and the skin began to shine. In addition, the sera are very economical in use: you will only need a few drops. But remember that each serum needs an appropriate cream that will create a protective layer and protect the serum from fumes, and the face from the harm of external factors. Also these two products can enhance each other's actions. The ideal option is a combination of cream and serum, which are aimed at solving the same problems.
