Which night serum should be used according to your skin type?

Which night serum should be used according to your skin type?

Because each skin type has specific needs to be met, discover which night serum to use based on the unique characteristics of your own.

What is the purpose of a night serum?

The serum is a facial treatment highly concentrated in active ingredients. Its light and fluid texture facilitates its rapid and deep penetration into the epidermis. While cream provides a sense of comfort, hydrates the skin's superficial layer, and creates a physical barrier against aggressions, the facial serum does not offer any surface protection. However, its role is to address specific skin irregularities such as dehydration, blemishes, dull complexion, wrinkles, lack of firmness, and so on. It can be applied both in the morning and in the evening. However, it is during the night, away from external aggressions, that the skin is most capable of regenerating and repairing the day's damage. Moreover, it is at this time of the day that the skin is most receptive to treatments.

Which night serum formula should be favoured?

The choice of night serum depends on the issues one wishes to address. There are numerous variants suitable for all skin types:

  • Night serum for oily skin with blemishes:

    Oily skin is characterised by a shine, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), blemishes and enlarged pores, all due to an overactivity of the sebaceous glands which start to produce too much sebum. To restore balance, it is important to first deeply cleanse the pores and then supplement the skin with beneficial actives during the peak of cellular renewal at night.

    To accomplish this task, the purifying night serum is the ideal treatment. Light and enriched with peony cells, tea tree and jojoba essential oils, known for their regulating, purifying, regenerating and detoxifying properties, it is easily absorbed by the epidermis. To reduce shine and refine the skin texture by rebalancing the sebaceous glands, only two drops of this elixir are sufficient. Convenient for all those who want to use it daily.

  • Night serum for mature skin:

    Mature skin is most affected by the effects of night serums. It's worth noting that from the age of 25, skin cells no longer renew optimally. Consequently, over time, the skin slackens, sags, dries out and wrinkles appear. Therefore, they need a little help to regenerate properly. The goal is to tone the skin and protect the epidermis from aggressions that can accelerate its ageing and cause damage.

    This work, the night tension serum, does it wonderfully. Because it works during the night, it aligns with the cellular renewal process and releases its active ingredients when the skin is ready to fully absorb them. Upon waking, the skin is plumped, firmed and toned, thanks to the toning and regenerating actions of 7 botanical extracts such as nopal cells, prickly pear oil and immortelle essential oil.

  • Night serum for normal, combination, and dull skin:

    While normal and combination skin types may not, at first glance, require any specific care, they can quickly become problematic during winter. When this phenomenon occurs, it is usually a sign that the epidermis is actually suffering from dehydration because its hydrolipidic film is no longer performing its protective function properly. Dehydration also implies a lack of radiance. A dull complexion is often also linked to oxidative stress caused by the development of free radicals in the body.

    To revive the skin's radiance, a two-step approach is required with a night serum dedicated to antioxidant and regenerative actions. This prevents water from evaporating while you sleep and provides antioxidant actives to the epidermis to prevent cells from oxidising over time. A 2-in-1 action that proves to be both gentle and effective.

  • Night serum for sensitive skin:

    If your skin feels tight, itchy, turns red or flakes, these are signs that it is sensitive and reactive. Therefore, it requires gentle care that can soothe its discomfort, which may be caused, for example, by contact with tap water or various temperature changes. After your regular beauty routine, you can apply a few drops of the soothing night serum, which is primarily composed of cotton cells, raspberry oil, and calendula macerate for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and soothing properties. This serum will act during cellular renewal and will allow your epidermis to repair and regenerate more effectively.

  • Night serum for dry skin:

    Unlike dehydrated skin, dry skin has always experienced discomfort. The goal, therefore, is to provide what it lacks: fats. But not just any! Borage vegetable oil and olive squalane, present in the night hydrating serum, are essential elements to allow the epidermis to regain comfort. To be applied instead of a classic moisturising cream, it offers all the nourishing actives that cells need for dry skin to finally be plumped up.
