There are those who coat with anti-aging cream morning and evening … and those who know that the real game-chainger hides elsewhere. Because a good cream, as efficient as it is, never works as well as when it is supported. And this is where the stage entered Anti-wrinkle serumsthese concentrates that prepare the skin, increase the effects of care tenfold, and pass your routine to the upper level.
Why a serum can transform the action of your anti-aging cream
Before attacking the winning trio, a development is essential. Serum is the keystone of an effective anti-aging routine. Formulated with a higher concentration of assets than creams, it acts in depth, where wrinkles take root. Where the creams, often richer, remain on the surface, The serum prepares the skin, makes it more receptive and amplifies the effects of other care.
In other words, applying a cream without serum is a bit like paint on a dirty wall: you can go a good heart, the result will always be disappointing. And if the results of your cream are slow to see each other, or if you feel that your skin stagnates, it may be simply because you zap this key step.
The top 3 serums that change the situation
We analyzed, compared, tested – on mature, stressed, marked skins – and above all, we retained the three anti-wrinkle serums that bring a real before/after. Not those who promise, but those who prove.
-
Skinceuticals this ferulic : The cult serum that combines 15 % pure vitamin C,, Ferulic acid And Vitamin E. Result ? Lighter complexion, reduced wrinkles, protected skin of oxidative stress. A must to prevent skin aging linked to pollution and the sun.
-
L’Oréal Revitalift Filler with pure hyaluronic acid : Light texture, express absorption, and an almost immediate plump effect. In a few days, the skin seems denser, the grooves less marked. It is the most accessible of the three-and the most amazing at this price.
-
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair : An iconic formula enriched with fermented bifidus and hyaluronic acid, which acts at night, when the skin regenerates. Visible results on elasticity, fine lines and especially on the shine of the complexion. A safe bet for those who want a global effect.
These three serums have one thing in common: they boost The penetration and efficiency of anti-aging creams that you then apply. Clearly, they do the bulk of the work upstream – the cream, it then seals the hydration and extend the benefits.
How to integrate them into your routine for visible results
No need to revolutionize everything. Just adopt some simple reflexes to maximize the effects of your care. Here’s how to get the best out of your serum (and your anti-aging cream):
-
Apply the serum to clean skin, morning and/or eveningdepending on the product.
-
Wait 30 to 60 seconds Before putting the cream, while the serum penetrates well.
-
Do not forget the neck and neckline – wrinkles have no borders.
-
And above all, be regular: The first results often appear in 15 daysbut it is regularity that transforms the texture and tone of the skin over the long term.
One last piece of advice: don’t mix everything. Only one serum is enough. What matters is consistency between the assets of the serum and those of your cream. For example, a vitamin C serum in the morning with a moisturizer, and treatment with hyaluronic acid or retinol in the evening to regenerate.
