Before we get into what serums are, let's go over everything we’ve learned about the basic skincare routine.
By now we’ve understood that skincare doesn't have to be stressful, otherwise it’s just defying the entire purpose, isn’t it?
All you probably need for clear, radiant skin is the right kind of cleanser, a hydrating moisturiser, and a decent sunscreen to keep the sun away from stirring up new skin problems.
But what if you want something more potent that addresses specific skin care issues?
In that case, your best bet is a serum!
Even if you haven't used a serum yet, or if you have a plethora of them chilling on your beauty shelf, there's no shame in admitting that you don't clearly understand what they are. Serums do confuse a lot of people, and I promise, you aren’t alone!
If you look closely, it's moisturising, but it's not a moisturiser. Some can be oily, but they're not your typical facial oils either, and some even help reverse sun damage, but they can never replace sunscreen. Honestly, nothing can replace sunscreen.
Sincerely speaking, serums aren't meant to replace any of the above-mentioned products, but adding them to your existing skincare routine will only provide additional benefits.
Now, I gave you a great deal of information about serums, but I am certain that it's still a little hazy.
So, without any further ado, let’s plunge headfirst into the blissful world of serums.
Serums are light-weight, mostly oil or water-based formulas with a higher concentration of active ingredients that can penetrate deep into the layers of your skin. They typically come in a gel, cream, or liquid form and are applied after a toner and before a moisturiser.
But what does a serum really do for my skin?
It truly does it all, from hydrating your skin to reducing the appearance of pores, removing dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, exfoliating it, and improving skin texture.
Let's take a look at some more reasons why you’ll fall in love with serums:
- Because they are light-weight, they absorb quickly and easily into the skin, leaving it feeling neither heavy nor greasy.
- Serums containing ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, and Green Tea extracts boost UV protection.
- Because serums contain a higher concentration of actives, they produce faster and better results.
But which is the ideal serum for me?
There is a boatload of serums on the market, which can make it challenging to pick the best one for you. There are also numerous ingredients to weigh when choosing the perfect serum for you; some may be overpowering, while others may be too gentle for treating your skin problems and, of course, you must consider your skin type, or things may easily go south.
Oh! But don’t you worry, because we were just going to tell you how we’ve got it all figured out!
If you are looking for serums, choose Thalgo! (Always)

3. Thalgo Wrinkle Lifting Serum
A dramatic lifting effect is on its way!
Thalgo Wrinkle Lifting Serum is a highly potent serum that helps plump the skin, correct wrinkles, and improve and maintain facial contours and skin elasticity.
The Marine Wrinkle Lifting Serum has a formula rich in Restructuring Silicium Marin, which allows it to correct wrinkle appearance and prevent firmness loss. Furthermore, Achillea Millefolium Extract promotes cell renewal by encouraging the production of new cells and correcting surface irregularities.
With the addition of hyaluronic acid, the skin is also hydrated and smoothed. The ability of the skin to retain moisture decreases as it ages, and the signs of ageing become more visible. Hyaluronic acid tends to help the skin retain moisture and smooth wrinkles and fine lines. It also functions as an antioxidant, shielding the skin from environmental damage.
Thalgo Wrinkle Lifting Serum is highly effective and delivers remarkable anti-ageing results. It not only combats deep wrinkles and fine lines but also instantly brightens the face.
Apply the serum in the morning and evening for the best results, and then follow it up with Silicium Marin Lifting Correcting Day Cream and Silicium Marin Lifting Correcting Night Cream, respectively.
4. Thalgo Brightening Correcting Serum
Looking for a lightweight emulsion that revitalises dull, tired skin and targets uneven tone? Look no further, because we've found exactly what you're looking for!
The Brightening Correcting serum's creamy texture has an immediate and long-lasting plumping effect that helps to even out pigmentation and brighten the skin. It not only lightens and brightens the skin's surface, but it also works on a deeper level to inhibit the production of melanin, which causes pigmentation.
The formula is infused with the goodness of Brown Algae extract, which provides hydration and helps to maintain the skin's optimal moisture balance while also fighting inflammation and firming loose skin. Brightening agents (Hexylresorcinol, Alpha-bisabolol, and Papin) work together to neutralise yellow pigmentation, redness, and grey skin via soothing, repairing, and gentle peeling action, while the Hyaluronic Acid and Natto Gum duo plumps skin for long-lasting hydration.
The skin is smoother and the complexion is more luminous after 7 days of use. Dark spots seem less visible after 28 days, and the complexion appears brighter than ever!
5. Thalgo L’Essence
Transform your skin with Thalgo’s L'Essence; a powerful, perfecting serum suitable for all skin types infused with a concentrate of 64 key essentials drawn from the sea to completely change the texture of the skin, hydrate, smooth and reduce dark spots.
The Thalgo L'Essence is a biotechnological miracle in a bottle that has been developed over a fifty-year period.
The concentrated treatment is powered by Regenerative Marine Intelligence, a patented compound of five ocean-sourced extracts that infuses skin with 61 bio-mimetic nutrients.
This advanced combination stimulates epidermal renewal for a more clear and refined surface, while also plumping the cutaneous structure and intensively detoxifying skin for a more clarified and balanced tone.
The multi-tasking serum leaves the skin looking truly flawless and revitalised with a healthy-looking radiance thanks to the additions of hyaluronic acid, adenosine, and optical perfectors that blur the look of imperfections.
If those reasons weren't enough to convince you to buy this serum right away, it also includes the "V-Shaping" duo, which works to lift the features and reshape the facial contours.
