O Cosmedics Corrective Serums are face serums that are concentrated, potent, highly active and focused on tackling specific skin conditions head on, employing specialised medical grade ingredients that offer intense and long-term results. In short – they pack a real skin health PUNCH.

Think of our skin serums as REALLY hard workers who go above and beyond to deliver the best outcome, without which your skin simply can’t function at its best. Because of this it’s essential that your face serums, which are multi-functional and perfect for layering, are prescribed by an O Skin Expert to ensure maximum results and a tailored approach to your individual concerns.

The benefits of using correcting skin serums can vary depending on the ingredients they contain, but here are some common advantages:

Targeted Treatment – Skin correcting serums are formulated to address specific skincare concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, or uneven skin tone. This targeted approach allows you to focus on particular issues you want to improve.

Highly Concentrated Ingredients – Most serums for face often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients compared to other skincare products. This can lead to more potent and effective results when used consistently.

Customisable Skincare Routine – Face serums can be easily incorporated into your existing skincare routine. You can tailor your regimen by choosing skin serums that address your specific concerns without overloading your skin with unnecessary products.

Enhanced Absorption of Other Products – Most skin serums are often lightweight and easily absorbed, making them ideal for layering under other skincare products. Using face serums before moisturiser or sunscreen can enhance the absorption of subsequent products.

The ingredients you should look for in a face serum depend on your specific skin concerns and goals. Different skin serums target various issues, so it's essential to choose one that aligns with your skincare needs. Here are some common active ingredients found in skin correcting serums and the concerns they address:

Improved Skin Texture - Many serums for face include ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or Retinoids that can promote cell turnover, leading to smoother and more refined skin texture.

Brightening and Even Tone – Face serums with ingredients like Vitamin C or Niacinamide can help brighten the skin, reduce dark spots, and even out skin tone by inhibiting melanin production.

Hydration and Moisture Balance - Some skin correcting serums contain hyaluronic acid or other hydrating ingredients to boost skin hydration, helping to maintain a healthy moisture balance.

Anti Aging – Finding a serum for face with ingredients such as peptides and retinoids may stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne Control – Finding a skin serum with ingredients like salicylic acid and other antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients can be effective in controlling acne and preventing breakouts.

Choosing the right serum for your face involves identifying your specific needs and understanding the key ingredients that address those issues. Here are some general tips to help you choose the serum for your face:

• Identify Your Skin Needs - Determine the primary issues you want to address by using face serums. Common concerns include hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne, enlarged pores, or dehydration.

• Know Your Skin Type - Consider your skin type (e.g., oily, dry, sensitive) when selecting a serum for your face. Some ingredients may be more suitable for certain skin types.

• Research Key Ingredients - Familiarise yourself with active ingredients commonly found in skin serums and their benefits.

• Consider Product Formulation - Pay attention to the formulation of face serums. Consider whether it's a water-based serum, oil-based serum, or a combination. Choose a texture that suits your skin type and preferences.

• Check Concentration - Some ingredients may be more effective at certain concentrations. Check the product label for the concentration of key ingredients.

• Start Gradually - Introduce new skin correcting serums gradually into your routine. Start with a lower frequency to allow your skin to adjust, especially when using active ingredients like retinol or acids.
