When you’re looking to make changes to your skin, one of the most important steps to add into your routine is a serum. Serums are essentially the “treatment” step of a skincare routine. They’re formulated with a higher percentage of active ingredients than most moisturizers, and they’re meant to be layered closest to the skin for maximum absorption. HydroPeptide’s serums are designed to address the most common skincare concerns, from excess oil production to fine lines and wrinkles. Read on to determine which HydroPeptide serum is best for you.

For the Wrinkle Warrior:

Around age 25, collagen production in the skin starts to slow down. Certain factors like smoking, sun exposure and sugar intake can also contribute to a breakdown of collagen. The Power Serum uses collagen-boosting peptides to help slow or reverse these processes, thus making it your new best friend if your focus is preventing loss of firmness and wrinkles.

For Pimple Prevention:

Teenagers aren’t the only ones who deal with pimple problems. Adult acne can be just as difficult to control and can be caused by everything from hormones to excess oil production. The Redefining Serum is designed to target all causes of acne. This formula includes clearing peptides to kill the bacteria that cause acne, as well as salicylic and azelaic acid to reduce oil production. Use this in tandem with our Purifying Cleanser for gorgeous, clearing results.

For Pigmentation Perfectionists:

Our skin tone can become dull or uneven in myriad ways. Hyperpigmentation from age spots or blemishes manifests in obvious imperfections. If a smooth, glowing complexion is the goal, try our LumaPro-C Pigment Corrector Serum. This drug-free formula uses resurfacing peptides to loosen keratinized skin cells as well as Vitamin C and brightening antioxidants. Bonus: Add a few drops of Firma-Bright 20% Vitamin C Booster for even more drastic brightening results.

For Your Sensitive Side:

Many people with sensitive skin are hesitant to use serums because of the strong dose of actives within the formulas. Many products will cause redness, inflammation and even stronger reactions like hives or breakouts in sensitive skin types. For those who seek the ultra-gentle, we recommend Soothing Serum. This fragrance-free formula includes anti-redness peptides and chamomile extracts to calm redness and inflammation, with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to attract and retain hydration. Pro-Tip: This serum is also great to use after intensive skincare treatments like laser facials, microdermabrasion, and facial peels.

For the Perfect Skin Protector:

Even if you’re blessed with great skin, you’ll want to protect what you’ve got. Exposure to UV, pollution and even stress can cause changes to the molecular structure of skin over time. Our superhero skin protector is the HydroStem Serum. This treatment uses botanical stem cells to protect your DNA and fortify skin’s defenses, while plankton extracts works to minimize photo-aging. A healthy dose of antioxidants prevent free-radical damage and hyaluronic acid attracts vital hydration to the skin.
