‘Supercharged’ Serums & Why You Need To Use Them
We like to describe serums as the ‘supercharged’ product in your skincare routine! Incorporating serums daily will enhance your results as well as target skin concerns that your other products won’t… Here’s why:
-
They have the highest concentration of active ingredients
Serums contain the highest percentage of active, super-concentrated nutrients so they are most effective at targeting skin concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin sagging, dehydration and more.
-
They contain powerful age-defying ingredients
The high concentration of active ingredients means that serums can deliver some serious age-defying results. Restore Serum contains 15 intensely concentrated nutrient oils that work synergistically to target visible signs of ageing, replenish hydration and increase skin cell renewal.
-
They replenish your skin’s lost moisture & hydration
As our skin ages, our natural oils and hydration levels deplete. Serums have a small molecular structure so they penetrate deep into the skin to restore the skin’s hydration at the cellular level and retain moisture in the skin.

SERUMS AND AGEING SKIN
If thinning or sagging skin is a concern at the top of your list, you want to find serums with Hyaluronic acid in them! Our skin naturally produces Hyaluronic acid however as our skin ages, the levels decrease so it’s important to supplement this through skincare. It’s a miracle ingredient for retaining moisture and plumping the skin.
For improving hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone or dark age spots, serums containing vitamin C are highly effective. With powerful brightening properties, it addresses all of these skin concerns.
When fine lines and wrinkles start to become more noticeable with age, a Pro Vitamin A ingredient like Rosella Flower is ideal for boosting collagen production (the key to youthful skin!) and accelerating skin cell turnover. This natural alternative to other harsh retinol products is gentle and supports your skin’s natural barrier.
HOW TO INTEGRATE A SERUM IN YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE
Once you hit 30, supporting your skin throughout the natural ageing process becomes crucial. To maximise the benefits of a serum, here’s our guide to when & how to use them to enhance effectiveness.
When to apply your serums
For optimal results, face serums should be applied in the morning AND evening, daily. Applying to clean skin allows their potent ingredients to penetrate deeply. Here’s when to apply your serums on a daily basis, of course weekly would also include your exfoliation and masque after cleansing.
- Cleanse
- Concentrate
- Serums (if layering serums, always apply your oil-free, lightweight serum first and your oil-based serum second)
- Moisturise
- Sunscreen (AM)
Tips for beginning your serum journey
Daily use over prolonged periods of time is so important as visible improvements in skin texture and tone often take several weeks.
With a high quality, active serum, you only need a few drops. Applying too much won't enhance the benefits and can lead to wastage.
Serums are designed to be patted into your skin with your fingertips, avoid rubbing / circular movements into your skin - it’s all about letting those active ingredients absorb deep into the skin over a couple of minutes before applying your moisturiser.
We recommend layering serums that each target different concerns, i.e Vitamin C serum first to target brightening and Pro Vitamin A serum to target ageing.
