What's the purpose?? Who uses these? What brand do you use?

 

[Retro-Violet]

the ones ive seen are mainly for like anti aging.

I use a Vitamin C serum, by Mychelle. It's a good anti-oxidant for protecting the skin from free radical damage and improving skin tone.

I just started using a lightening serum from Caudalie. Not sure about it yet, it's only bee 2-3 weeks. Sometimes i use that Estee Lauder stuff. Can't think of the name at the moment. in an aqua colored bottle.

i tried a sample of biotherms aquasource serum and i deffinetly like it! its for dry skin. serums are supposed to put under your normal cream. day and night. most creams make a serum. it will make the cream work better

i think they add xtra nutrients to the skin and help mu stay on longer, also adds

moisture to skin.

i just started using olay regenerist serum. to early to tell if there is a difference in the appearance of my skin

Right now I'm using the Juice Beauty Antioxidant Serum. I'm not expecting it to change anything, or make my skin look better somehow, but I use it as an intensive anti-aging measure for the long term. Serums are more concentrated than lotions or cleansers, so they deliver a lot more of the goodies to the skin. I apply it under my moisturizer, which also contains lots of antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients.

serums can be used for all types of issues. i really like dermalogica, but they call them boosters. check these out!

I think a serum under your moisturiser makes a big difference. One that I use and love are Estee Lauder Night Repair, Precriptives, Olay Regenerist and La Mer serum.

I also like to use balms at night as I have dry skin, I use Decleor balm and Clarins Facial Oil

 

[enyadoresme]

wow i've learned something new today

 

[jckim143]

I'm using Dermaquest. I got tricked into buying it for $65 and I have no clue how its working. Oh well.. I guess I'll keep using it and try to figure out whats it supposed to do. bleh..

 

[vanilla_sky]

I use serum under my daily spf... I want to believe extra ingridients will protect my skin and slow process of aging... I dont know if they really do, but if there is a chance, I might as well use it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyone try ROC eyelid lift serum? I bought it today (got it for 11.00 instead of 19.99). It's supposed to firm your upper eyelids by tightening the tissue, and under eyes. It's also supposed to get rid of dark circles. I tried it today, and it's annoying to my upper eyelid in the fact that it feels like I have something sticky on them. I was hoping for instant results as in tightenin my upper eyelids because they are starting to droop, but I could not tell any difference.

I just got a gwp sample from BBW of Patricia Wexler MMPi 20 Regenerating Serum. Umm... yeah so I applied it after washing my face and before my regular lotion... and I broke out like crazy!!!!! AHHH! Never again.

 

[jessiej78]

I use a vitamin C gel-cream (I guess not really a serum) call radiant C by Herbalife

 

[emmyliten]

I use Totalt Turnaround concentrate from Clinique, it's supposed to speed up cell renewal. I cant really say anything about that, but it does make my skin super soft and nice!

Dr. Baumann's lists some uses for serums in her book, The Skin Type Solution. It is now available in paperback.

For the last few days I've been using SkinMedica's Vitamin C Complex under my regular SPF moisturizer in the am. I started because of what I've read about vitamin C being a powerful antioxidant. I'm in my early forties and looking to slow down the aging process, if this is possible. LOL... It does make my skin feel very soft and it seems to look more even toned and feels smoother. It can't hurt.
