IPSY interviews Dr. Hu (CEO of acaderma) about Serum1

What Are the Biggest Skincare Benefits Serum Has to Offer?

They're a more targeted product.

Face serums are designed to specifically target some of the biggest skin issues out there with highly potent ingredients, more so than any other skincare product on the market. "Serums actively target and solve skincare problems, such as aging or dehydration, because they have a high concentration of active ingredients," mentions Dr. Hu.

They protect against free radicals.

Free radicals such as UV light and air pollution can do a number on skin’s elasticity, which can cause fine lines, wrinkles, and even saggy skin. Thankfully, serum works hard to preserve your skin cells. "Serums are an excellent way to protect your skin from damaging UV light or other environmental pollutants. I recommend looking for serums that are rich with antioxidants or contain ingredients such as vitamin C or vitamin E," Dr. Hu shares.

They're lightweight.

Moisturizers can sometimes feel heavy and oils can often be, well, oily. Serums, on the other hand, are very lightweight. Dr. Hu shares "Your skin will quickly absorb the serum since they have a thinner viscosity."
