Do I need to use a serum?

Light, fluid and fast-absorbing, facial serums are the feel-good stars of skin care—and are especially appealing if your skin has taken a beating over the summer and is in need of a moisture surge. According to BestHealthMag, the fact that they have an instant, tangible hydrating impact on the skin makes them somewhat addictive.

Serums are water-based moisturisers that contain a high concentration of active ingredients, such as vitamins, antioxidants and/or plant extracts, to super-hydrate your skin and make it more radiant. Unlike regular moisturisers, serums do not contain occlusive emollients like shea butter, so they penetrate skin quickly as opposed to sitting on its surface.

Generally, their silky texture comes from smoothing ingredients such as glycerin or “slip” agents such as silicone. Some are treatment-oriented (targeting dark spots, for example, or designed to firm the skin). You should consider adding a serum to your regimen, whatever your skin type, to increase skin hydration. Apply it by massaging it into the skin, wait five minutes to let it sink in, then apply your regular moisturizer. If you have oily skin, a serum can be worn alone.

Maria Galland Serum Mille 1010 is a superior serum which perfectly complements all care products. Used under 1000 Crème Mille, it intensifies the cream’s action mechanisms. Despite the richness of the serum, it delights with a pleasantly light texture. A very high concentration of the exclusive TOP•CMG complex (white truffle, pure, encapsulated 24-carat gold, peptides, a cell activator), highly effective moisturisers, such as hyaluronic acid and urea, and natural extracts ensure the best test results: with regular use, studies show a reduction in wrinkles by up to 34%, an increase in skin firmness by up to 30%, smoothing of the skin by up to 30% and a rise in the moisture content of the skin by up to 94%.

Apply a few drops in the morning and/or evening before using the care cream. The serum can also be used on its own for combination skin and slightly oily skin.
