Serums

Facial serums

Facial cleansers, masks, creams... there are so many products available today to help you create a complete routine! But when it comes to providing a targeted response to a specific skin problem, it's not always easy to find THE perfect skincare product.
A serum's water-based formula contains a high concentration of active ingredients, capable of penetrating deep into your skin to provide a fast, effective solution to your problem. This makes them an essential part of your skincare routine, whatever your skin type.

The different types of serum

In order to best respond to the problem encountered, it's important to select THE right face serum. At Oh My Cream, we offer a wide range of serums to address a particular problem, or several at once! Normal and combination skin is often plagued by dehydration. This can be treated with hyaluronic acid: although it's naturally present in the skin, you can provide it with a little extra with the Back to Life by Pai Skincare or Oh My Cream Skincare Moisturizing Serum. Good news, these also have an anti-aging effect ;-) For sensitive skin, there's nothing better than Dermalogica 's UltraCalming Serum Concentrate, which soothes and moisturizes. For a little boost to your tired complexion, Patyka 's Regenerating Radiance Serum is perfect. You can also fight blemishes with our Anti-Imperfections Serum limits excess sebum. Pores are tightened and less visible. Finally, serums with anti-aging action are ideal for helping cell renewal and reducing visible wrinkles. For example, we recommend Patyka's Serum Repulpant, enriched with trace elements, our champion of rejuvenation!

How do you incorporate the serum into your routine?

The serum fits perfectly into your daily routine, whatever the problem you're facing. You can apply it in the morning and/or evening, always under your moisturizer (find out more with our beauty post dedicated to that). All year round or as a cure, a small amount is all you need. Warning: some serums contain photo-sensitizing active ingredients (such as retinol). In this case, always apply them in the evening only, and use sun protection during the day.

Our tip? To maximize its benefits, you can apply it to slightly damp skin, after a lotion or hydrolat. Finally, if you're in any doubt about which serum is right for your skin type, don't hesitate to ask one of our advisors in store, by e-mail at consultation@ohmycream.com or in the chat room!

How to optimize the effectiveness of your serum?

Although a serum has a complete formula, other beauty gestures are fundamental to multiplying its effectiveness. Such is the case with double cleansing, one of the keys to beautiful, healthy skin. For example, use our Cleansing Oil and our Cleansing Gel! Finally, an appropriate moisturizing cream also maximizes the effects of your serum. Last but not least, to enhance the beauty of the eye contour area, apply our Eye Contour Balm in addition to an eye contour serum for even greater effectiveness.
