What are the best serums for aging skin?

Anti-aging serums should offer a variety of benefits for those concerned about wrinkles, firmness, and skin texture. Among the most important are hydration and exfoliation, as well as addressing uneven skin tone (if necessary). The ideal anti-aging serum for your skin should be formulated to improve your specific skin concerns.

At what age should you start using an anti-aging serum?

It’s never too early to start using anti-aging serums, as these targeted products can help prevent or delay the development of visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven skin tone, and rough surface texture.

How do anti-aging serums work?

Anti-aging serums can work in several ways. A daily vitamin C antioxidant works as an anti-wrinkle serum by helping to shield the skin from environmental damage that can lead to skin changes years or even decades from now. Anti-aging serums for skin discoloration can help exfoliate away the discoloration and help maintain an even-toned complexion. An anti-wrinkle serum can also help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by providing the skin with moisture for a plumping effect. Anti-aging serums also help maintain and restore skin radiance through exfoliation.

How should I apply anti-aging serum?

It’s always best to check the directions for any product that you are using, but there are a few general guidelines for applying anti-aging serums. Start with 4-5 drops for your face and neck. Apply to your face using gentle upward and outward strokes. If there’s still a bit of anti-wrinkle serum that hasn’t fully absorbed, you can delicately pat any remaining product into the skin on your face as well as the backs of your hands. After applying anti-aging serum, be sure to wait a few minutes before following with other treatments or moisturizer.

Should you use an anti-aging serum before or after moisturizing?

Remember the “thinnest to thickest” rule when applying anti-aging serums, especially when you are using an anti-wrinkle serum as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen. This is the general order of product application: Cleanse, tone, serum(s), moisturizer, sunscreen (in the AM).

When should you apply an anti-aging serum?

The answer to this question depends on the ingredients in the anti-aging serum you are using. Most hydrating and exfoliating anti-aging serums can be used in the morning and/or evening. If you’re using a vitamin C antioxidant as an anti-wrinkle serum, this is best used in the morning to protect your skin from environmental assaults your skin is exposed to over the course of the day. When using a retinol anti-aging serum to help improve the appearance of wrinkles and skin texture, this ingredient should be used at night.

Can you use multiple anti-aging serums in your routine?

Of course. If you have a variety of skin concerns, such as wrinkles, loss or firmness, and rough texture, your skin can benefit from targeted anti-aging serums that address each. Just be sure to give each anti-aging serum a chance to fully absorb before you move on to the next one.
