Serums for aesthetic purposes or facial serums are intended for use on the skin of the epidermis (i.e. It is used to provide targeted treatment for a specific need (the outermost layer of the three layers that make up the skin). It is generally recommended to apply this serum before the cream to increase the effectiveness of the beauty routine. Because the liquid texture of the serum penetrates into the epidermis very quickly and acts deeply by moisturizing the skin. However, such serums are not designed to protect the skin. This protective task is given to the skin care cream, which will lock in moisture by strengthening the skin barrier.
While skin care creams aim to protect the skin, cosmetic serums or serums for aesthetic purposes are designed to provide a response to the needs of the upper layer of the skin. The formulas of these serums contain powerful active ingredients and are suitable for every skin type.
Serums are skin care products for the face, with an intensive formula developed especially for the radical treatment of various skin problems such as:
Facial serums, sought after for their moisturizing or nourishing effects and their soothing, restorative or regulating effects, often contain powerful ingredients such as the following, depending on the formula:
The very rich formulas of serums for aesthetic purposes are suitable for use in very small quantities, so they are packaged in small bottles with dropper caps or measuring pipettes. This way this concentrated shine enhancer can be measured in drops.
The production and distribution of cosmetic products, including serums for aesthetic purposes, is covered by a directive on cosmetics 76/768/EEC for all member European Union countries that place the products on the market. This directive, which was amended several times after its publication, was later replaced by the new cosmetic product regulation No. 1223/2009.
To increase the effectiveness of your day or night treatments, it is recommended to use a serum as a complement to the classic beauty regime. When paired with a morning or evening skin care cream or used as a one-time treatment, this product enhances the action of facial products (creams and oils) with a high concentration of active anti-aging ingredients. Generally, products made with organic or natural active ingredients are preferred. In case of sun exposure, it is highly recommended to use a sun product with a high protection factor for face, body and hair, so as not to weaken the effectiveness of the serum and skin care cream pairing.
Numerous standards have been developed to ensure the safety and quality of cosmetic products. Standards for cosmetic products are constantly being developed by the European Committee for Standards (CEN) and the International Standards Organization (ISO).
In general, compliance with such standards is voluntary, but in some cases standards are accepted as a way of demonstrating compliance with directives. Such standards are known as harmonized and are a recognized way of demonstrating compliance with relevant directives. Harmonized standards are published in the official journal of the European Union. Today, the leading harmonized standards regarding cosmetic products is the "ISO 22716 Make-up materials - Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) - Guides on Good Manufacturing practices" standard. This standard contains guidelines for the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products.
