How to Choose an Anti-Aging Serum
With the launch of INNISFREE’s new Retinol Green Tea PDRN Skinbooster Ampoule, there has been a lot of talk around these parts about anti-aging skincare. But as with every skincare issue, there is no one-size-fits all solution. So where can we start?
Let’s all take a moment to acknowledge that aging is a normal part of life. It's inevitable and can be a beautiful process to experience. We should be so lucky to see ourselves get older!
That said, it’s not wrong to want to age with grace, allowing our features and skin to change slowly - giving us time to adjust to the new, wiser, versions of ourselves.
So let’s say that we’re doing everything we know we’re supposed to do to take care of our skin and prevent premature aging. We’re talking about eating well, drinking lots of water, keeping to a sleeping schedule, and applying UV protection every single day. These are all good habits that limit the amount of oxidative stress you expose your body (and by extension your skin) to.
The next thing to look for is what your particular anti-aging concern is.
Anti-Aging Care to Firm Skin
If you’re looking to firm up what you’ve got, look no further than the Jeju Orchid Enriched Essence. Made from the resilient Jeju Cymbidium Orchid (Hanlan) that blooms in the harshest conditions of winter and oat extract, this essence provides instant care for the skin, nourishing it for a natural and healthy glow.
As you apply it to your skin, it forms a protective layer with natural ingredients to promote skin firmness.
Anti-Aging Care for a Skin Boost
As we age, our pores can become more visible and enlarged. Unlike pores enlarged by excess sebum and oil buildup, pores enlarged by aging appear elongated and saggy. A product like the Retinol Green Tea PDRN Skinbooster Ampoule contains the now trending ingredient in K-skincare: PDRN, celebrated for its skin-regenerating properties.
This skinbooster ampoule contains vegan PDRN extracted from fermented Beauty Green Tea. When combined with a 1% Triple Retinol Complex, this product helps to promote skin rejuvenation and give you that glow that you’re after.
Anti-Aging Care for Fatigued Skin
Sometimes the dullness of our skin is a result of not enough rest. A product like the Black Tea Youth Enhancing Ampoule brings intensive care to relieve signs of skin fatigue such as poor skin texture; and dryness in the cheeks, smile lines, and in the eye area. It’s a great choice for folks with busy schedules and stressful lifestyles because it contains Reset Concentrate™ which is high in antioxidants.
This product also contains Night Defense Formula™ which is a triple-layered moisture formula that keeps the skin hydrated all night long by creating a protective layer. Talk about beauty sleep!
Total Anti-Aging Care
If what you think you need is “a little bit of everything”, you can consider the Perfect 9 Intensive Serum. This anti-aging serum is formulated with the Lingzhi mushroom and was created to address nine signs of skin aging. It offers skin texturizing, skin tone improvement, moisture replenishment, brightening, firming, improved moisture retention, radiance, complexion improvement, and an anti-wrinkle effect.
It has a concentrated gel formula that penetrates the skin with a silky and non-sticky texture - a good pick for especially dry skin.
Anti-aging care is not a perfect science and we may come to need different solutions during different chapters of our lives. The important part of any skincare routine is knowing what to look for. Be observant about changes in your skin and how they may be responses to changes in your lifestyle. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Most importantly, be kind to yourself.
