Lets talk serums

Serums are my all time favourite skincare item, and they have been for years! I can't get enough of 

them. The reason I love them so much is because they give both short and long term results and 

have amazing benefits for the skin. As someone with dry skin, moisture and hydration is key for me, 

so any chance that I can add that into my skincare routine I will jump at the chance, and serums do 

exactly that. There are so many different serums that I have tried and tested, as well as those that I 

have ready to try for when I run out of my current favourites.

WHAT IS A SERUM?

A serum is packed full of impactful ingredients to target specific skincare needs. It is used after 

cleansing but before moisturiser and often adds in extra moisture to the skin through hyaluronic 

acid. Each serum is different and has different benefits depending on what you are after and what 

your skin type is, however all serums are used to add extra nutrients into your face through the 

concentrated ingredients. Serums are used before your moisturiser to make sure that everything is 

sealed and locked into your skin, to get the best results.

MY FAVOURITE SERUMS AND WHY

It's no secret that Dermalogica is one of, if not my favourite skincare brand. Everything I have tried 

exceeds my expectations and works wonders on my skin. The Dermalogica biolumin-c serum* is 

highly concentrated and intense for the skin, which is why I use it less frequently than other serums. 

However this means that it helps target fine lines and wrinkles, redness and dark spots more 

thorough, leaving your skin looking and feeling smooth and flawless after each use.  

There are so many incredible serums available and on the market, and one that I've loved suing is 

the Good Molecules hyaluronic acid serum*. This is perfect if you have dry skin and are lacking 

moisture, as well as needing some extra help to target redness and scarring. I love this because it 

absorbs into my skin and leaves it feeling and looking amazing. Immediately after use I look more 

radiant and nourished.

Being a girl with dry skin, I need all the moisture and hydration in my skin that I can get. Last year 

I fell in love with the Grounded Egyptian gold retinol serum* and have been obsessed every 

since. I particularly love this so much because it contains hyaluronic acid (my favourite skincare 

ingredient) which my skin loves, all whilst targeting find lines and wrinkles as well as any dark 

spots and imperfections. Most importantly this doesn't leave my skin feeling thick, heavy or sticky 

afterwards and doesn't clog up my pores. 

My newest serum that I have been loving to use is the Grounded hyaluronic acid dragons blood 

serum. After falling in love with the Egyptian gold serum from Grounded*, I knew I had to pick 

this up when I saw it in my local TK-MAXX. This not only contains hyaluronic acid but also; red 

algae, marine collagen and biotin serum to help give a luxurious finish to the skin. Preventing signs 

of anti-aging and renew the skin. This will leave you with a brighter and firmer complexion with 

extra added moisture. 

What is your favourite serum?
