Why use a serum?

Why use a serum? This is a question we often get. Or, do I even need a serum? And which serum is right for me?

There are many different types of serums. A serum is usually used to address a skin concern and often contains a high concentration of active ingredients, such as vitamins, hyaluronic acid or retinol.

We chose to develop a multifunctional Boosting Serum based on 12 different berry and melon seeds, which is a true multivitamin for your skin. It gives the skin a boost of vitamins A, C, E and K (antioxidants) and nutrients such as omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. Everything your skin needs, summer and winter.

Is my skin ready for a serum?

In principle, your skin doesn't need much. But the older your skin gets, the more care it needs. Because your skin often becomes drier, or because you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

Products with many nutrients are important. This starts with a rich, caring and nourishing face cream, but a mild cleanser is also very important. An aggressive and foaming cleanser breaks down the barriers that are so important for the balance of the skin. Don't forget a product with an SPF, such as our protective sunscreen SPF30: the most important product in the fight against skin aging. And for that little bit of extra care, use a nourishing serum.

When to use serum

When you use a serum depends very much on the serum you have. Some serums are great for daytime and others are perfect for nighttime. We ourselves use the boosting serum both in the morning and in the evening. In the morning combined with a day cream for a sun-kissed glow and protected skin barrier. In the evening as an extra nourishing and restorative vitamin boost.

Conclusion: A serum, like SMPL's Boosting Serum, is a booster with extra nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E and K and omega-6 and -9 fatty acids, and thus provides that little bit of extra care for your skin. Such a product is a nice addition to good skincare.
