How to choose Korean serum for the face?

Serum is rightly called one of the pearls of the cosmetic industry. They are a storehouse of beneficial ingredients for the skin, so they are often called concentrates. And you can also find the term "serum" - it is such a word that can be found in the name of the sera in English. They are found in brand lines from different countries, but today we will speak about Korean facial serums.

What is this product and why has it gained such high popularity all over the world? Like any cosmetic serum, they contain more active substances than creams, lotions and other skin care products. At the same time, like all Korean cosmetics, they contain a lot of natural ingredients, which leads to good results in the shortest possible time.

Special components are added to the sera to promote better penetration of nutrients into the deeper layers of the skin. This increases the bioavailability of not only the ingredients of the concentrate itself, but also other means that are applied to the skin in combination with it.

Many serums contain such an active ingredient as hyaluronic acid. Perhaps this is the most common product, as it significantly increases the elasticity and elasticity of the skin, effectively fights wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones. It is believed that this component allows not only to quickly achieve the visible effect, but also starts the production of its own collagen. Serum with hyaluronks are of two types.

1. High molecular weight - form a protective film, better retain moisture and prevent skin dehydration.
2. Low molecular weight - penetrate deep into the skin and restore it from the inside, contributing to the production of collagen and elastin.
