Nourish, Protect & Hydrate with our Highly Effective Skincare Serums

Serums contain a more potent dose of active ingredients to optimise skin nourishment, protection and hydration – our skincare serums work best post-cleansing and pre-moisturising.

Specifically designed to administer maximum key actives to ensure optimal absorption, Aesthetics Rx Serum formulations use higher ingredient concentrations for more effective results. Some of the benefits include skin decongestion, increased radiance, luminosity and blemish correction.

How To Use Skin Serums

Serums are designed to be applied immediately following cleansing. Once the serum has had a moment to absorb, “sealing” it in with a moisturiser will deliver enhanced benefits for your skin by preventing evaporation and maximise the effects of your serum.

As an example, our most popular serum, B Serum, is ideal to use twice a day (morning and night) before applying moisturiser. Our serum formulations contain a host of vitamins to promote increased skin hydration.

While moisturisers are vital for keeping the skin hydrated, serums are your best line of defence against discolouration, dullness, fine lines, acne and other skin conditions while also improving skin texture, luminosity and radiance. Serums are the boosters in your skincare regime. They will help you get the best possible results because their benefits are usually very specialised and targeted to a particular skin condition, concern or problem.

How To Layer Serums 

If you are trying to treat more than one skin condition, a combination of serums may work best for you. One of the most common questions we are asked is how to layer serums for best results. The general rule to follow is according to the serum’s consistency; apply the lightest texture first, finishing with the heaviest texture last. Light textures will sink into the skin easily provided there is no barrier to prevent absorption. The serum with the heavier consistency will still be absorbed by the skin following the application of the lighter serum. A good example of this is Aesthetics Rx B serum followed by our A Serum or A Serum 1%. The B serum has a very light fluid consistency, whereas the A Serums both have more of a creamy emulsion texture. Finish with an application of your moisturiser to “seal” the serums into your skin.

What Are The Benefits Of Using Skincare Serums?

• Serums absorb into your skin very quickly
• They are highly effective in soothing sensitive skin
• They reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Can potentially provide more visible results faster
• They are the boosters in your skincare regime
• Serums protect your skin from free radicals and oxidative damage caused by UV light and air pollution, keeping your skin more youthful for longer

How To Use Retinol Based Serums

For those using a Retinol-based serum (A Serum and A Serum 1%) for the first time, Aesthetics Rx recommends slowly phasing these products into your existing regime. It is essential to test the effects of these serums on your skin to ensure skin tolerance before advancing to using them every evening. We also carry various serums that do not contain Retinol, but still provide excellent beauty benefits and are suitable for all skin types. We invite you to discover the serum best suited to your skincare needs.

Our A Serum’sare highly sought-after for reducing the appearance of accelerated skin ageing, helping with acne and acne scarring and minimising the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The two versions, A Serum and A Serum 1% have been designed to add progressive Retinol load to the skin in such a way that minimises the sometimes unwanted side effects of using Retinol which can include redness and flaking. It’s usually best to commence with A Serum that contains 0.2% Retinol. Start by using this serum every second or third evening, gradually working up to using it every night. After you have completed 1 – 2 bottles of A Serum, you can then upgrade to A Serum 1% because the skin will have developed tolerance to the Retinol and it will then be safe to use 1% Retinol in most cases. We still recommend starting the A Serum 1% slowly and gradually increasing usage to every night once the skin can tolerate it. Always avoid the eyes.

For defence against dry skin, oily skin, ageing skin, sensitive skin, hyperpigmentation and other conditions, Aesthetics Rx stocks a wide range of high-quality serums.
