The weekend is finally here and I love it, and I love it! Did you get that line, guys? :D
Anyhoo! Friday is here and let's talk about serums, specifically acne- prone serums. Question is from Libby:
Hi Martha,
Serums for acne- prone skin?
Libby
Hey Libby!
Thanks for writing; let me rephrase your request for a little: instead of saying SERUMS FOR ACNE- PRONE SKIN, I said SERUMS THAT MAY HELP ACNE- PRONE skin because I cannot guarantee if these serums are suitable and will help or God forbid, worsen your acne. I've tried these serums myself and they have helped me cope with breakouts, but I can only speak from experience.
So here are 5 serums that I think will help you manage acne- prone skin.
- Dehydrated skin is prone to breakouts so I make sure to hydrate everyday, especially before going to sleep to support my skin's renewal process by using deep hydrating serums such as Bioderma Hydrabio Serum.
2. ESTĒE LAUDER ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR
- Advanced Night Repair is one of the best serums I tried; it doesn't necessarily say it will fight acne, but it boosts skin's ability to repair itself and along with it is decreased breakouts.
3. THE ORDINARY NIACINAMIDE 10% + ZINC 1% HIGH STRENGTH VITAMIN AND MINERAL BLEMISH FORMULA
- A powerful yet affordable serum from Chicago- based brand, Deciem; Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a powerful concoction of two of the best acne- fighting ingredients, making it a highly potent serum that helps manage and treat acne. I have this and will review soon!
4. JUICE BEAUTY BLEMISH CLEARING SERUM
- A certified organic serum made with plant stem cells, salicylic acid, willowbark, and aloe extract among other things that rejuvenate the skin and fight acne as well.
5. KIEHL'S DERMATOLOGIST SOLUTIONS POWERFUL STRENGTH LINE- REDUCING CONCENTRATE
- Acne- prone skin is also prone to marks and a Vitamin C- rich solution will help keep skin clear and bright; it will also provide antioxidant benefits too to keep skin healthy and more resistant to acne- causing bacteria.
That's all. Do share your acne- prone friendly serums in the comments section!
Happy weekend!

When to use serums? Can it be put together with moisturizer?
ReplyDeleteUsually at night and right before night cream/moisturizer :)
DeleteI have an acne prone skin too. But I think they are quite pricey for me. Are there other organic and local made serums that you've tried. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried a lot of locally- made serums though; I heard In Her Element and Human Heart Nature have good ones. :)
DeleteWow! How I wish I knew these things when I was younger dami ko tuloy mga manhole sa face..hahaha..Miss Martha I hope you can help me too, face care for dark circle under eye/eyebags and wrinklez na din. You know not getting any younger haha..thanks Martha. God bless!

ReplyDeleteThis will help my friend since she was acne prone skin. By the way, is serum similar to moisturizer??
ReplyDeleteNo, serums are more liquid and runny in form and have more concentrated ingredients than moisturizer. :)
DeleteMs M wala bang mejo affordable? Mejo pricey kase ung list mo eh. Thanks
ReplyDeleteFor serums, I usually go for the expensive ones talaga. Affordablel ones, wala masyado effect for me eh. But I'll look for some. :)
DeleteBeen hearing a lot of good things about The Ordinary. I wanted to try it since i'm acne prone. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteZinc and Niacinamide 10% is soo good! Really helps my acne problems!
DeleteAdvisable po ba na magkakasabay gumamit ng serums with different functions? Like, pore tightening plus whitening serums?
ReplyDeleteYes as long as they don't break you out, that's fine. :)
DeleteWow, never heard of these serums before 😱 This is very helpful to me coz I have a very very very very acne-prone skin. Got my eyes on Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum coz it's organic, safer for me to try than any other products. 😁
ReplyDeleteYup! Juice Beauty is a pretty good organic line. Let me know how it works for you. :)
DeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
