Best Face Serums Reviewed and Compared

Benefits of Using a Face Serum

We like to believe every product has benefits regardless if it has side effects or not. Because if not for the boons that you as a user will get, why will you use the product in the first place. In regards to that, a face serum is no exception and in fact, it has ingredients that can only produce great results. So, in this section, we’ll show what benefits that ingredients like vitamins C, E, A, aloe vera, etcetera give users.

Hydration

The skin is an organ itself and like every other part of our body, it needs water also. If you don’t supply the right amount of water, it will turn dry, flaky, and tight. Opposite of supple, perfectly firmed, and soft which should be the way the skin feels. The consequence of this is faster formation of wrinkles. Now, people using a moisturizer might want to argue that they’re properly feeding their skin with the necessary amount of moisture. It’s true, but a face serum is simply better in this regard.

This is simply because a face serum is built to deeply penetrate the skin pores with little molecules that are packed with nutrients. A moisturizer on the other hand only has big molecules which just doesn’t have the same focus/precision that a serum has. In conclusion, any of the products above will easily help maintain proper skin hydration—you just have to choose one that suits your needs.

Prevents Cancer

Nourishment

This is where the main purpose of a face serum lies. If not for finely blended ingredients like vitamins C, E, K, jojoba oil, aloe vera, peptides (matrixyl 3000 plus), cucumber, green tea, etcetera, there would be no anti-aging properties to get in any of the products above. And if that happens, reduction of wrinkles and deep lines will be impossible. So, using a face serum will strengthen your skin, improve skin elasticity and firmness, and provide resistance to skin damage. In other terms, you can say the ingredients above boost collagen levels in the skin. And as collagen is a protein that slowly reduces in the skin as we age, using any of the products above is boosting collagen levels to rival that of a youth—which is the whole purpose of a face serum (to reverse the effects of aging).

Brightens skin

Skin discolouration, age spots, and scars (due to acne) will all be easily reduced/removed by any face serum on this list. This particular feature works with the other benefits in this section to produce exceptional results. And in this case, exceptional results means that the serum will work on wrinkles and deep lines while getting rid of scars and uneven skin tone.

Acne and Breakouts

Acne is a skin condition in the forms of black spots and pimples that can affect the face, back, chest, neck, shoulders, and upper arms. It is the most common skin condition and it’s usually found in youths due to hormonal changes (as a result of puberty). Acne becomes a problem when it keeps on coming back and most youths are left searching for wonder drugs. In that regard, the face serums (like the Body Merry Pro-A product) on this list despite not being miracle workers will gradually get rid of acne, clear leftover scars, and also prevent future breakouts.

Usage Recommendations

No matter how harmless a product is, rules should be followed even if they’re so flexible, there’s no need for them to exist. A face serum is packed with potent ingredients like vitamins, proteins, etcetera, and despite the fact that they belong to the body, too much of anything can have diverse effects. So, in a bid to prevent these so-called diverse effects on the part of users, we came up with a usage schedule that is suitable for any of the face serums on this list.

First, use a little amount of the face serum on a small part of your skin and wait for some time to see the effects of applying the serum. If no adverse effect shows up, then you can continue the application of the serum. Wash your face and allow it to dry, then apply the serum finely twice in the day (morning and night). Though, if you feel you don’t need as much, you can still apply it once in a day

During application, make sure you’re consistent in its usage so as to ensure effectiveness. And also after applying the face serum, if you feel a bit of tightness, this just means that the serum is working—so do not worry. Lastly, follow with a moisturizer/cream or makeup on top of the serum if you wish or if it’s needed.

How to Maintain Face Serums

To elongate the lifespan of any face serum, you need to keep it in a dry, dark, and cool place and avoid things such as sunlight, heat, and moisture. Also, after your serum expires, stop using it even if all of the ingredients are natural. Because if you don’t, the serum can cause irritation and bacteria infection. Finally, do note that you should keep your serums and other creams away from children lest unwanted complications arise.

How We Selected the Products Above

As usual, there are two kinds of products out there; which are the good products and the bad products. In the case of face serums, using good products like the ones above will only give benefits. On the other hand, using a bad product will cause diverse effects such as irritation, heavy bleaching, infections etcetera. So, to avoid making the wrong selection of products, we pass every products/item included in our buying guides and reviews through some tests. These tests are done to ensure excellent experience on the part of different users.

In that regard, let’s see the kind of tests that the products above passed through before they made it unto the list.

Price and Value

The price of a product might be steep while it’s value will be rather underwhelming or, it (the value) could be equal to the price of the product itself. Regardless of the case, we always make sure to pick the best products in terms of pricing and value. Though, if a product is expensive but the value is off the charts, then you should certainly know by now that we’ll include it in our reviews. On the other hand, if it’s cheap and the value is excellent, we’ll include it also. By doing this, we save potential users the time they’ll waste by going through dozens of products (looking for a product with good value for money).

The Ingredients Used

All the ingredients used by the manufacturers of the different face serums on this list are natural and mostly organic. And any ingredient that doesn’t fall under the two categories is usually added to boost the serum’s overall efficacy. It falls on the experience of the manufacturers themselves; because why include something that doesn’t have any benefit whatsoever. Luckily, as we’ve already mentioned, all the products on this list fall under the “good products” category so, you needn’t worry.

The Manufacturers Are Credible

All the face serums on this list are produced by grade A manufacturers who have the best ingredients and machines. Think about it this way; if you use low-quality ingredients, nonexistent experience, a weak team, and faulty machines during the production of any consumable, you’re only going to get cheap (not in that sense) products that carry a wide range of problems.

On the other hand, using high-quality ingredients, an exceptional team, vast experience, and top of the line equipment means you’re producing the best items that users can use. Under the category of face serums, the above products are the best items that users (you) can use.

User Reviews

We’re not the only users of the products above, and to give a more accurate description and review, we peruse the internet for user reviews. All the products you see on this list have been heavily investigated so as to avoid missing anything (including pros and cons). If a user complains about his/her skin peeling due to using a face serum, we contact the manufacturer to see their list of ingredients.

Because, it might be an allergic reaction that the user is going through if not, you won’t find the product on this list. In summary, what you have to know is that we go through hundreds of reviews (after ours) to make sure that what we recommend to you will be beneficial.

Product Testing

Other than the tests on this list, we personally test the products to see if the company’s claims are true. The only other thing we do in this regard is to fine-tune our results with other user reviews. Though you should know that we’re not talking about a single individual testing these products, we use many to ensure we get a huge set of results and then we choose based on the features of the products that they (also we) like the most. Summarily, from our product testers’ opinions, we either include a product in our  guides and reviews or we exclude it.
