10 Face Serums that Can Fix Any Skin Issue

 

Let’s talk serums. If you are new to K-Beauty or just starting to expand your skincare routine, you might not be using a serum yet. Serums are a key part of the Korean multi-step routine, and there is a serum on the market for everything. Literally. Every. Single. Skin Concern.

 

WHAT ARE FACE SERUMS?

Also known as ‘ampoules’, face serums are highly concentrated skincare treatments that are formulated to target and correct specific skin issues.

Today we are going to talk through 10 face serums that target 10 different skin concerns and when we are done, we promise to have you starry eyed and swearing by serums!

  

10 Face Serums that Can Fix Any Skin Issue: Irritated Skin

It’s time to bring White Truffle Souffle Serumto the party.

If you've damaged your skin's barrier OR your skin gets easily dry, irritated, flaky and itchy then this is the serum for you.  

One pump is all you need to transform dull, dry, rough, irritated and sensitive skin. The whip soft, soufflé-textured serum reinforces skin’s barrier, increases elasticity, restores moisture and improves the look of fine lines.

How? With the help of decadent European white truffle extract, which is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. The formula also contains Shea butter, Centella asiatica, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin and Adenosine hydrate, renew and refresh. Niacinamide and licorice extract target wide pores and discoloration.

Did we mention this is a favourite on Mamamia's You Beauty Podcast (The No 1 Beauty Podcast in Australia)?

10 Face Serums that Can Fix Any Skin Issue: Sun Damage

Meet APLB Vitamin C Ampoule Serum. 

If you are suffering from red marks left over from acne or sun damage, then this serum is a perfect addition to your routine.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to repair, renew and give the skin a healthier look. While it’s no replacement for sunscreen it can protect you from the sun by counteracting the sun’s harmful effects and thickening the dermis layer of your skin. This is because Vitamin C works to stimulate the synthesis of collagen to give tighter, firmer, and less saggy skin.

It will improve skin tone, brighten the complexion, and improve the condition of your skin, including increasing hydration.

How do you use it? Pop this serum on directly after your double cleanse – if the PH balance of the skin isn’t right the serum won’t be absorbed properly and will ultimately be ineffective.

Pop a couple of drops on when your skin is nice and clean and then wait at least 20 – 30 minutes before applying the next step in your skin care routine.

10 Face Serums that Can Fix Any Skin Issue: Pigmentation

Whether its blemishes or freckles, a great serum to target your pigmentation is the SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin Serum. 

Made free of artificial ingredients and fragrances, this lightweight, non-sticky serum contains 100% natural oil and organic Yuja that it is suitable for those with sensitive skin.

This Korean Beauty favourite brightens dull and uneven skin by targeting blemishes, freckles, and pigmentation to create a fresh and dewy complexion.

If you are trying to reduce your pigmentation, ensure you also have an SPF in your morning routine and avoid the sun as much as possible.

If you do love the outdoors, then SLIP, SLOP, SLAP. Always have a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a long sleeve shirt on when you’re outside.

Your pigmentation won’t have a chance to disappear if you are worsening the issue by more sun damage.

  

Issue: Premature Ageing

At STYLE STORY it’s really important to us how we discuss ageing. It’s not an ‘issue’ or a ‘bad thing’ and certainly not a ‘problem’. Ageing happens to every human and it’s completely natural, normal and ultimately unavoidable.

However, we totally understand that it’s nice to look and feel your best so if you are starting to see the signs of ageing or perhaps feel that you are ageing prematurely than this serum is an awesome addition to your routine - APLB Idebenone Ampoule Serum.  

Antioxidants are having a big moment in beauty right now and for good reason. They help prevent and delay damage from free radicals such as pollution and sun damage which contribute to premature ageing. In this serum APLB, has combined hard-hitting antioxidant Idebenone with ingredients that assist with brightening and improving elasticity.

If you're suffering from bumpy, uneven skin texture or breakouts with no end in sight it's time to introduce the heavy hitter - retinol. 

Jelly Ko's Be Jelly Serum is that girl. 

Enriched with Retinol, Collagen, Squalane, 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid, and Licorice extract, this jelly-textured serum is designed to refine skin texture and diminish signs of aging. It works overnight to smooth texture, even tone, and target areas of dark discolouration so that you wake up to the complexion of your dreams.

Introducing Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule. This is the fifth generation of Missha’s beloved Time Revolution.

An overnight probiotic treatment that rivals Estee Lauder's Night Repair Serum, Missha have truly perfected an already amazing formulation.

This nourishing serum is infused with 77.7% Extreme Biome and is formulated with 10 different probiotics for rapid effect. It delivers deep hydration while energizing, repairing, and restoring elasticity.

This ensures you wake up with that youthful, lively complexion you’ve been dreaming of.

 

Issue: Dry, Dehydrated Skin

Kick your dry, dehydrated skin to the curb with APLB Hyaluronic Acid Serum in your daily routine.

Formulated with hyaluronic acid components, APLB’s Hyaluronic Acid serum helps with hydration, dry skin, and fine lines.

This is an ultra-pure serum which combines sodium hyaluronate with niacinamide, squalene, beta glucan and more. You'll find it offers lasting hydration and visible plumping of the skin at all levels of the dermis.

It also helps with moisture retention, allowing your skin to soak up all the goodness of your next steps and lock the moisture in place.

 

Issue: Dark Spots 

Let’s be real -  what’s not to love about a serum that improves dark spots and keeps skin tone clear and bright, while also working to revitalise tired skin?

But Neogen Real Vitamin C Serum doesn’t just stop there. It also firms, plumps and protects…

But wait, there’s more. This serum is made with Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is a stable form of Vitamin C that produces collagen synthesis and protects the skin from oxidative damage.

Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C derivatives are more stable when exposed to light and air, meaning your serum will last for longer. This serum lives up to the hype and is definitely worth a try.
