Answers to your frequently asked
anti-aging serum questions.

What are anti-ageing serums?

Anti-ageing serums are powerful, concentrated, targeted anti-ageing skincare treatments formulated to address the most common visible signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, dryness and loss of firmness. SkinCeuticals serums feature scientifically proven formulations designed to help prevent and help correct the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation, loss of firmness, dryness, and more. We offer anti-wrinkle serum options for all skin types.

How do anti-ageing serums work to reduce fine lines and wrinkles?

This will depend on the ingredients in the specific serum, but generally speaking an anti-ageing serum will target fine lines and wrinkles by either hydrating and re-plumping the skin, accelerating skin cell turnover, promoting collagen production, or protecting the skin against free radicals that contribute to photoageing. They won't prevent or reverse skin ageing completely, but can help visibly reduce their appearance for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

How to choose the right anti-ageing serum for my skin type

Choosing the right anti-ageing serum for your skin type can be overwhelming, especially with the numerous options available in the market. By understanding your skin type and concerns, you can make an informed decision. Here are some tips to help you choose the right anti-ageing serum for your skin type:

Sensitive skin: Look for serums that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides are gentle and effective in addressing fine lines and wrinkles without causing irritation.
Oily skin: Opt for lightweight, oil-free serums that won’t clog pores. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid are excellent exfoliants that can help manage excess oil production and built-up dead skin cells.
Dry skin: Choose serums that are rich in emollients and humectants. Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and niacinamide are commonly recommended ingredients for locking in moisture and improving skin texture.
Combination skin: Look for serums that balance both oily and dry areas. Serums with ingredients like glycerin and panthenol can help hydrate dry areas, while gentle exfoliants like LHA and glycolic acid can manage excess oil around the T-zone.

What are the best serums for ageing sensitive skin?

Anti-aging serums should target skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, skin elasticity, dehydrated skin, uneven skin tone and skin texture. Generally speaking, anti-ageing ingredients include retinol, peptides, vitamin C, chemical exfoliants, humectants and emollients. For ageing sensitive skin, hydrating and comforting the skin will be more important, and stronger ingredients should only be used in smaller concentrations. SkinCeuticals recommends the below serums for ageing sensitive skin:

To brighten and protect the skin, opt for the C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum.
To for wrinkles and skin elasticity, add the P-TIOX Peptide Serum to your routine.
To hydrate and plump the skin, use the Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan twice daily.
To exfoliate and visibly improve skin texture, use the Retexturing Activator Serum.
To nourish the skin and promote collagen production use the Collagen III Amplifier Serum.

Remember, sensitive skin is more prone to irritation, which can be exacerbated by layering on too many products. Aim to stick with one or two serums per routine to avoid overwhelming the skin.

What ingredients are in anti-ageing serums?

Anti-ageing serums contain a variety of ingredients that target different signs of ageing. Here are some key ingredients to look for:

Retinol: Helps to speed up skin cell turnover to reveal fresher, smoother skin. Stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin texture.
Peptides: Promotes collagen production to improve skin elasticity, visibly reducing wrinkles and supporting more supple skin.
Hyaluronic acid: A powerful humectant that attracts and retains water to re-plump the skin, filling in fine lines and wrinkles while supporting skin hydration.
Vitamin C: Has skin brightening properties, vitamin C serums visibly reduces dark spots and protects the skin from environmental aggressors that cause premature ageing.
Niacinamide: Supports the skin moisture barrier, visibly reduces redness and promotes a more even skin tone.
Glycolic acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that gently lifts dead skin cells, helping to speed up skin cell turnover and improve skin texture. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, reduces the appearance of pores, and improves skin texture.
Lactic Acid: Another alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin while providing skin hydration for plumper, smoother skin.

At what age should you start using an anti-ageing serum?

There's no specific age that you should start using anti-ageing serums as all skin ages differently. The skin's natural collagen production and skin cell turnover start to slow down around the age of 25, but the age that you start using anti-ageing products is a personal preference. It's common after the age of 30 to incorporate preventative serums to delay the development of skin ageing, and serums to reduce the signs of existing fine lines, wrinkles and age spots are more commonly used after the age of 40. For tailored advice on when to add anti-ageing products to your routine, speak to a dermatologist.

How should I apply an anti-ageing serum to improve skin texture?

Always check the directions for any product that you are using, but for most serums you should apply 4-5 drops of product onto your face and neck. Apply to your face using gentle upward and outward strokes. If there is still a bit of anti-wrinkle serum that hasn’t fully absorbed, you can delicately pat any remaining product into the skin on your face as well as the backs of your hands. Apply an anti-ageing serum after cleansing and toning, and always follow with a moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Should you use an anti-ageing serum before or after moisturising?

The general rule of thumb with layering skincare is thinnest to thickest. An anti-ageing serum has a more lightweight texture, so should be applied before moisturisers, but after your cleansing and toning.

When should you apply an anti-ageing serum?

The answer to this question depends on the ingredients in the anti-aging serum you are using and how it fits into your skincare routine.

Most exfoliating serums can be used in the morning and/or evening as part of your tailored skincare routine.
Hydrating serums can also be used morning and/or evening to deeply nourish the skin and maintain hydration after using stronger ingredients.
Vitamin C serums with antioxidant properties can be used morning or night, but are most useful in the morning to protect your skin from environmental aggressors.
Retinol is best for a night routine, allowing it to work in conjunction with your skin's natural overnight renewal process.

Can you use multiple anti-ageing serums in your routine?

You can definitely use multiple anti-ageing serums in your routine, but make sure you're combining serums that complement and enhance their efficacy. Of course, make sure not to layer too many serums at a time, especially if you have sensitive skin prone to irritation. You might want to stick with 2-3 serums per routine, and alternate between serums morning and night. You can also alternate between serums every other day if you're using several serums with stronger ingredients.

Common mistakes to avoid when using anti-ageing serums

While anti-ageing serums can be effective in addressing signs of ageing, there are common mistakes that can have adverse effects. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

Not patch testing: Always patch test a new serum on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
Using too much product: Using too much serum can lead to irritation and wasted product. Start with a small amount every other day and gradually increase as needed. You should only need around 4-5 drops of serum in your routine.
Not following specific: Ensure you always follow the instructions provided with your serum, including the recommended usage and frequency.
Not incorporating a serum into a tailored skincare: Anti-ageing serums are most effective with a tailored skincare routine, combining complementary products to maintain the skin's condition. Make sure you're balancing out any skincare products, especially when using harsher ingredients like retinol or salicylic acid that can dry out the skin. All daily skincare routines should finish with a broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen.
Being inconsistent and impatien: Anti-ageing serums can take time to show results. For best results, consistency and patience are essential. Some anti-ageing serums won't manifest on the skin before several months of consistent use.
