Looking for a serum or oil!

Hello, I'm 23 and looking for either a serum or oil that'll help with subtle acne scars, redness and anti-aging. Thoughts?!

Re: Looking for a serum or oil!

I love the Drunk Elephant TLC night serum. It's so good, can't live without it!

 

I'm getting their new Babyfacial in the mail today so I'll update with how that does!

Re: Looking for a serum or oil!

Hi @KatriLo,

 

Perricone MD PRE:EMPT SERIES™ Skin Perfecting Serum is great if you want to get a preventative skin care product for anti-aging reasons. Although not specifically made to address redness, a reviewer has mentioned that this helped her with her redness. (: 

 

SUNDAY RILEY Luna Sleeping Night Oil is going to assist with redness and help fight the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It's an easy oil that you can use at night before you sleep! 

 

Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil is a great multi-tasking oil. Reviewers have mentioned that it helps them with hydration, redness, and acne scars! This also a great oil for your hair and nails! 

XOXO,
Marieke

Thank you!!!

Re: Looking for a serum or oil!

Hi, KatriLo!

 

Considering being 23 years old, the use of preventative components to ward off signs of premature aging may be better to start with versus actual components to address present signs of aging.

 

If you're specifically looking for an oil to help touch into your concerns, check out the below:

 

Sunday Riley's Juno:

 

 

The oil is anti-oxidant packed which combats against free radical damage. Free radicals attack healthy cells and can cause pigmentation damage and the break down of healthy cellular tissue, collagen, and elastin. The various oils in the Juno blend are anti-oxidant rich (making it a great day time friendly oil to use without sensitizing skin). Raspberry oil helps to ease redness and inflammation as well and vitamin K helps to heal.

 

Korres' Wild Rose Oil:

Rose oil is naturally high in vitamin C, an anti-oxidant that helps to restore collagen production for firmer and more supple skin as well as brighten and even the skin tone gently (perfect for post acne discoloration). Bisabolol is also an anti-inflammatory component that also works to condition skin.

 

Caudalie's Polyphenol C15 Oil:

This oil blend uses polyphenols as its primary anti-oxidant source which are derived from grapes. Carrot seed oil is naturally rich in the anti-oxidant vitamin A to help cellular regeneration and repair while lavender works to soothe skin.

 

These oils share many commonalities  such as anti-oxidants/vitamins A, C, E, etc. and the incorporation of many essential/omega fatty acids which help with hydrating and conditioning the skin.

 

For serum options, check out the below:

 

Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum:

 

This vitamin C and green-tea infused serum targets discoloration while providing anti-oxidant protection. Aloe helps to soothe skin and sodium hyaluronate provides a boost of hydration to keep skin plump and even in texture.

 

Sunday Riley's Good GenesSerum:

This formula uses the alpha hydroxy acid known as lactic acid (derived from milk enzymes) to chemically exfoliate skin to support a more even surface texture, tone, and boost healthier cellular regeneration. Lactic acid is also a more gentle AHA that has anti-inflammatory properties. Licorice helps to also brighten skin and calming aloe is also infused.

 

Skin Inc's serums:

 

This brand offers a host of serums that target a broad spectrum of skin care concerns, you can use individual serums or even look into their sets that allow you to custom mix and blend a serum to your liking. For example, you can use the Vitamin C or Licorice serums to target dark spots/scarring, the Vitamin B3 Niacinamide or Vitamin A serums for anti-aging and repair. Check into the variety they offer if this customizable option is something that interests you.
