Perhaps the “age” of problematic facial skin happens to every person at least once in his life. And it is often superimposed on an already difficult period – adolescence. Complexes at this age overwhelm everything, including parents’ words “this will pass” and “I went through the same thing when I was your age”. That’s why it’s important to move from words to action over time and start the right facial skin care.
In the case of oily skin, dermatologists and beauticians often recommend voting in favor of drugstore products. First, their formulas are often tested for hypoallergenicity, non-comedogenicity, and skin safety. Second, the concentration of active ingredients in pharmaceutical products is generally higher than in mass-market products.
Take Librederm*, the leader of selective drugstore brands, and the Seracin collection offers a complete range of expert care for oily and problem skin. The products have undergone clinical trials that confirm their effectiveness and safety, so they are recommended by dermatologists and cosmetologists. In the formula of every remedy there are two components that always work – sulfur and zinc. Sulfur regulates sebum production and has an antibacterial effect, while zinc is a natural antiseptic. This duet is complemented by other effective ingredients from long-proven products – niacinamide, salicylic acid AHA and BHA acids, centella asiatica and others.
And now to the main issue – the tools of the line and how to use them correctly.
The first task is cleaning.
The basic step in the care of every skin type is cleansing. Like water for any living organism, it is necessary for the health of our epidermis. And owners of oily skin are twice as likely – after all, excess sebum can clog pores and cause new inflammation.
The cleansing function in the Seracin collection is taken over by the cleansing gel. It contains a complex of allantoin and herbal active ingredients, as well as sulfur and zinc. It enhances the anti-inflammatory effect and also moisturizes and soothes the skin. So the gel can cope with:
- Removes dirt and make-up residues without creating a feeling of tension.
- Preparing the skin for toning and applying skin care products
- Hydration.
A gel is fine, of course, but better in combination with lotion.
The lotion removes dead skin cells of the epidermis, cleans and tightens the pores. In this, finger lime extract (rich in AHA acids) and niacinamide in the composition help it. AHAs gently exfoliate and brighten skin, while niacinamide improves skin tone and adds radiance. Therefore, using lotion after gel helps:
- Cleanse the skin deeply
- shrink pores
- Even the tone of the face is distorted.
It is recommended to use the lotion 1-2 times a week.
The second task is maintenance
In order to properly complete the cleansing and begin the care, the skin must be prepared. A mattifying toner will cope with this task, collecting cleaner residues, equalizing the pH and eliminating dryness after deep cleaning. The skin will accept the care better, the active ingredients will work more efficiently. Then we move on to the main care – DUO gel-cream Seracin.
The corrective cream-gel formula contains, in addition to sulfur and zinc, a moisturizing complex (moisturizes) consisting of salicylic acid (enhances the penetration of active ingredients and deep cleans the pores), niacinamide (regulates the production of fatty lipids), natural saccharides and inulin. skin). Hence the gel-cream:
- Reduces the visible appearance of blemishes and acne scars in 14 days**
- Helps to equalize the skin
- Prevents recurrence of defects
- Relieves dryness to keep skin hydrated all day***
- Mattifies the skin.
The third task* is a special approach to extremely dry and sensitive skin.
Choosing the right care for those whose facial skin is overdried during or as a result of medication for acne is a real job with an asterisk. But like true honor students, the Librederm brand has a solution even for this situation. The Seracin line includes additional products designed for over-dried skin – gentle face wash, moisturizing serum and night cream.
The foam cleanses the skin more gently and gently, but as effectively as the gel. She dips her face in an airy white cloud and removes make-up along with excess sebum. Its delicate formula contains anti-inflammatory, soothing and antibacterial ingredients such as allantoin. Therefore, after washing, the skin feels comfortable and clean.
We don’t all know what we were doing before the face serum came along. It is a real booster in the world of beauty products – it can significantly increase the effect of the cream, just apply it before the main treatment. Seracin serum aims to moisturize the skin, eliminate dryness, exfoliation and regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
It is important to remember three basic principles in the care of problematic facial skin: regularity, consistency and the right combination of cosmetic products. It is also always better to choose products from the same brand, because they are specially created to complement each other and increase the effect.
