Good Face Serums to Try in your 30s



A couple of years back, I wrote the article GOOD FACE SERUMS TO TRY IN YOUR 20s and these are mostly moisturizing, brightening serum options because when you are in your 20s, you don't really need to deal with a lot of aging markers, not unless you have a skin condition to begin with or your genes are in the way.

Now that I'm in my 30s, a lot has since changed in my skin: it's gotten a bit drier on some parts and I would always break out because my skin isn't shedding properly as much as before (this is why acids are godsend to me!)

Here are some good face serums to try in your 30s if you're dealing with dryness, breakouts, age/sun spots, and textured skin.

1. PIXI VITAMIN C SERUM

- A brightening serum that's great for lightening hyperpigmentation, aan ntioxidant boost, and improving skin texture and clarity. Ferulic Acid is also good for sensitive skin and helps skin shed and turnover gently.

- Niacinamide or Vitamin B3 is not only good for lightening the skin, but also helps boost cell activity, which greatly diminishes as we age.

As we age, certain receptors that are vital to sparking cell activity lose their capacity and function, which causes poor skin turnover and slows down regeneration. Niacinamide acts as battery for these receptors by giving them a jolt of energy to jumpstart cell activity.

The Ordinary's high concentrate Niacinamide serum is my favorite because it works and is affordable, plus I love the inclusion of Zinc in the formula because it's a great (yet lesser known) antioxidant and anti-acne ingredient in skin care!

3. DRUNK ELEPHANT TLC FRAMBOOS GLYCOLIC NIGHT SERUM

- My best discovery last year! This high concentration AHA/BHA serum is a game changer for acne- prone skin. It helps clarify skin in a week and gets rid of acne in as fast as 3 days, from pustules to papules and even cystic acne that's why aside from using it as a serum, it doubles as a spot treatment for me as well! This is one of the best things to have if you are suffering from breakouts and rough, dull skin!

- From one of my favorite skin care collections to date, Pixi's Glow Tonic series. This serum helps smooth and brighten the skin. It is a more affordable alternative to Drunk Elephant because both are acid- based serums, but this one's much gentler and takes a bit of time to yield results, but it works!

- This one isn't exactly a serum, but it's so packed with benefits that I consider it serum in moisturizer form. This is my most favorite moisturizer to date because it works well with makeup and is packed with peptides that are potent anti- aging ingredients. Prevention is better than cure!

- This is a face oil, but since oils are very rich in skin beneficial properties that are often used as active ingredients, I do consider them a serum as well; serum is anything that has a high concentration of active ingredients.

This face oil is very rich and as the name implies, intensely hydrating; it's a combination of three luxurious, potent oils; it's great for drier skin types and keeps skin looking more plump, more radiant, and healthier- looking. Aside from having tons of amazing properties, the oil formula will keep the properties sealed in the skin much longer so it will can absorb and utilize a majority of it.

That's all! Where my 30s ladies at??? What are your favorite face serums?
