Active Serums | Australia

Facial serums are formulated with high concentrations of potent ingredients to specifically target your skin concern. Their tiny molecular structure goes deeper into your skin and combat the issue from within. There are different types of serums, including exfoliating serums, hydrating serums, anti-ageing serums, brightening serums, and more, to choose from.

Facial serums are different from facial oils in terms of purposes, formulations, absorption, and function. While serums are lightweight and quickly get absorbed into the skin due to their smaller molecules, oils are greasy and thicker. Serums contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, and vitamin C and are ideal to layer under moisturisers whereas, oils sit on the skin for longer and help to seal in the moisture.

You must know your skin type before choosing a facial serum or any other skincare ingredient or product. Look for the serums with the following ingredients:

Try out salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and niacinamide for acne-prone oily skin type. Acne Clear serum has 3% niacinamide to target breakouts and oily skin.

Hyaluronic acid and glycerin can be suitable options for dry and flaky skin as they deliver intense hydration to keep the skin supple.

If you experience inflammation and sensitive skin, using hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and aloe vera, can make a major difference. Starter Vitamin A with 0.25% retinaldehyde combined with ultra-low weight hyaluronic acid and aloe can help fight inflammation and fine lines.

Retinaldehyde, peptides, CoQ10, and Bakuchiol extract work well for ageing skin. Ultra C is blended with 15% peptides and 25% vitamin C to target early ageing signs and encourage skin brightening.

Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient for skin brightening and can give a naturally glowing complexion. DRSQ's Ultra C serum has an active vitamin C complex to reduce uneven tone and discolouration.

Skin that becomes dull due to sun exposure, environmental pollution, or smoking may benefit from a potent blend of AHAs and BHAs. It needs beyond a surface-level cleansing, that is, a gentle and effective exfoliation.

Renew & Glow has an ideal formula infused with lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and ultra-low weight hyaluronic acid to exfoliate the skin gently, and make it luminous.
