Which Serum Is Right for Me?

Skin Type Guide

There are many skin types, and it’s essential that you know which one you have to apply the right products. You should use a clinically proven serum to penetrate the skin and improve its elasticity.

If your skin is dry, try one that contains hyaluronic acid. For oily or combination skin, look for an oil-free formula with no added fragrance. Sensitive skin requires a gentle formula that won't irritate the skin.
For mature or sensitive complexions, try one that increases collagen and elastin production for firmer skin.

Below we’ll look at the different skin types in more detail.

Dry Skin

Dry skin is often caused by low oil production, which means the skin doesn’t have enough moisture to keep itself moisturized. Dry skin is also more sensitive and prone to wrinkles, acne, and eczema.

While there are many different treatments for dryness, essences or serums can help give you a boost of hydration from within. The most basic serums contain hyaluronic acid. This substance acts as a water reservoir in your body, so it helps your skin retain moisture longer.

If you have dryness around your eyes or mouth, look for products that contain ceramides. These naturally occurring lipids lock onto water molecules to create a barrier against outside elements such as wind and cold weather.

Everyday Essence Face Serum is specially formulated to help moisturize dry skin, fight the aging process, and protect your skin from further damage.

Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, you've likely heard about the benefits of adding a serum to your skincare routine.

Overactive sebaceous glands cause oily skin. The excess oil production can result in clogged pores and blackheads. Many people with this skin type also find themselves prone to breakouts.

While there are no miracle cures for oily skin, the right combination of skincare products can significantly improve the look and feel of your complexion while keeping breakouts at bay. Using a good quality serum with an SPF is necessary because:

• It can protect against sun damage that leads to wrinkles and age spots

• Reducing inflammation will help prevent acne breakouts

• Moisturizing will keep your face from feeling tight or flaky after cleansing

• Using gentle formulas like those containing AHAs or BHAs will exfoliate dead cells without stripping away natural oils needed for healthy skin function

• Antioxidants found in compounds like vitamin C work with retinol to boost cell turnover, so they stay fresh longer without drying out prematurely

Mature Skin

Mature skin is dry, thin, and prone to wrinkles, lines, and loss of elasticity. Mature skin can also suffer from hyperpigmentation and dullness due to a lack of collagen production.

101 Volumizing Anti-Aging Face Serum is ideal for mature skin since it contains ingredients that help to restore the appearance of firmness, suppleness, and smoothness by increasing hydration levels while firming your skin from within.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is usually red and itchy. It's also more sensitive to cosmetics, the sun, and even certain foods. Sensitive skin can be complicated to care for because it can be dry or oily in different areas of your face at once.
