The best serums for the transition into autumn
Does your skin feel drier, duller, or more sensitive in September? A new serum might seem like a quick fix. However, it is more important to first determine what your skin is lacking. Dehydrated skin requires something different than skin that is primarily stressed or sensitive.
"I see autumn as a great time to re-evaluate your routine. Don't replace everything, but look at what your skin needs right now. One well-chosen serum can make all the difference."
Yvonne van Veen, medical beautician
For dehydration, choose hydration
A hydrating serum is suitable when the skin feels tight or fine dehydration lines become more visible. The IK SKIN Perfection - HYALURON+ was developed for extra hydration and can be used under a suitable cream. Apply it to slightly damp skin for optimal absorption.
For sensitivity, keep it simple
Does your skin react easily? If so, do not add multiple active serums at the same time. Choose one gentle product, use it consistently, and first assess how your skin reacts. The IK SKIN Perfection - Calming Serum Layering Routine is specifically formulated for sensitive, reactive skin and helps to reduce redness. Stop if you notice clear irritation.
How to use a serum
- Cleanse your skin mildly, for example with the IK SKIN Perfection - SILK+ mild 3-in-1 facial cleanser
- Apply a small amount of serum to slightly damp skin
- Let the product absorb for a moment
- Finish with a cream, such as the IK SKIN Perfection - HYAMAX+ hydrating 24h cream
- Always use SPF as the final step during the day
