How to choose a Korean face serum?

Serums are rightly called one of the pearls of the cosmetics industry. They are a storehouse of useful ingredients for the skin, so they are often called concentrates. And you can also find the term "serum" - just such a word can be found in the name of serums in English. They are found in the line of brands from different countries, but today we will focus on Korean face serums.

What is this product and why has it gained such high popularity around the world? Like any cosmetic serum, they contain more active substances than creams, lotions and other skin care products. At the same time, like all Korean cosmetics, they contain many natural ingredients, which leads to good results in the shortest possible time.

Special components are added to serums that contribute to better penetration of beneficial substances into the deeper layers of the skin. This increases the bioavailability of not only the ingredients of the concentrate itself, but also other products that are applied to the skin in combination with it.

Many serums contain such an active ingredient as hyaluronic acid. Perhaps this is the most common product, since it significantly increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin, effectively fights wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones. It is believed that this component allows not only to quickly achieve a visible effect, but also triggers the production of its own collagen. There are two types of hyaluronic serum.

1. High molecular weight - form a protective film, retain moisture better and prevent skin dehydration.
2. Low molecular weight - penetrate deep into the skin and restore it from the inside, contributing to the production of collagen and elastin.

Some sera from Korea often often contain two types of acid. The OHui luxury brand product from the Miracle Aqua line is just one such example. In the "premium" segment you can distinguish hyaluronic serum Hera, Sulwhasoo, Kims. Korean company Mizon, popular among Russian customers, produces affordable, but very effective serums, for example, Hyaluronic Acid 100. Missha and Tony Moly are among the inexpensive and well-established among Russian women.

In addition to the hyaluronic serums that are popular today, which everyone has heard, there are many other products. They contain various components that also deserve attention. Consider the main types of serums from well-known Korean brands.

• Moisturizing. For owners of dry skin, it is necessary to stabilize the water balance. These funds restore radiance and elasticity to dehydrated skin. Usually they contain hyaluronic acid, natural oils, plant extracts, due to which the skin receives life-giving moisture and acquires a more fresh, well-groomed appearance.
• Anti-aging. In the fight for the eternal youth of the skin, anti-aging concentrates with hyaluronic acid, collagen, peptides and other components are widely used. Peptides include amino acids that stimulate the formation of their collagen and retain moisture so essential for any skin. They are in special demand among customers. After all, skin of any type sooner or later acquires signs of aging. Such serums smooth out wrinkles, restore firmness and elasticity to the dermis, and make the face shape clearer.
• From enlarged pores. Usually these are serums with the addition of plant extracts, snail mucil and others. Such compositions are widely used in modern cosmetology to improve young skin suffering from increased sebum secretion.

• From acne. Such concentrates also contain extracts of useful plants, for example, green tea - this substance has long been known for its soothing properties. Such funds are recommended for owners of oily skin, as they help to combat rashes, regulate the secretion of skin secretion and matte. It is important to consider that their effectiveness depends on the stage of acne. In severe form, these agents may not bring the desired effect.

• For the skin around the eyes. These concentrates can be distinguished into a separate group, since the dermis in this area is very thin and requires special nutrition. Typically, eyeliner serums contain a maximum of natural ingredients that provide gentle and gentle care. These serums help get rid of “crow's feet”, dark circles under the eyes, puffiness and redness of the eyelids.
