Hello, Hello!
It's Thursday and the weekend is just around the corner.
Hope all of you have subscribed to this blog and commented on yesterday's post about what you would like to get your hands on in the giveaway! Remember to go to my Insta @jleighstar and follow me there as well as comment on the Win It Wednesday photo of the product you most love to be entered into the contest!
Lately I have been on a quest to find the best of the best in skincare. The fact is we aren't getting any younger and there is no fountain of youth out there, but there are products ant treatments that can help us along the way.
Today, behold the best of the best when it come to serums for aging.
Why do you need a serum? A serum is the product that helps fight whatever your skin problem is whether it be acne to discoloration, to aging. Serums are more potent, meaning they have smaller molecules so they can go deeper into the skin unlike a moisturizer that tends to be a little heavier. However, you still need that moisturizer so don't throw it out just yet!
Serums are an added step to your skincare routine to enhance the look or problem area of the skin.
So I have searched list upon list of the best of the best serums for 2018. From magazines to Google, I'm here to show you the serums that kept popping up for their age fighting benefits.
First on the list is Clinique's Smart Custom Repair Serum.
($59)
This product claims the following and has a following of great reviews, "Clinique's Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum is a breakthrough serum clinically proven to reduce 4 major signs of aging by 50% in just 12 weeks. It understands the particular needs of your skin, providing custom repair for the damage you see and even the damage you don't. Great for all ages, ethnicities, and skin types."
Solutions For:
- Diminishing lines and wrinkles
- Firming and lifting skin
- Reducing dark spots and evening skin tone
- Improving radiance and texture
Next I found that Estee Lauder Perfectionist (CP+R) Wrinkle Lifting/Firming Serum was on everyone's top ten list!
($68)
"Estée Lauder's most effective wrinkle-fighting serum ever. It dramatically reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, with exceptional speed. Facial contours appear firmer and more defined. Breakthrough CPR-75 Technology is proven to double skin's natural collagen building power."
- *Instantly, lines and wrinkles are plumped and smoothed. Skin feels smooth, looks fresher, younger.

- In just 4 weeks, skin looks redensified and reclaims a youthful firmness and suppleness.
- 96% showed a significant reduction in the look of lines and wrinkles.
Ideal For:
- All skin types
- Serious lines and wrinkles
- Lifting, contouring
- Loss of firmness, tone
- Boosting natural collagen
And I don't know if it was because of Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil, I'm not really sure what show it was on but this one was actually on many of the top ten lists and I too couldn't believe it.
($29.99)
Their claims:
"Supercharge your skincare regime with this clinically proven serum. No7's highly acclaimed Protect & Perfect Intense technology has been re-engineered to deliver even better anti-aging results. Independently tested and proven to work. This serum is powered by Matrixyl 3000 Plus, a combination of the most powerful form of Matrixyl plus a next generation peptide that works together to help restore more youthful skin. With our patented antioxidant complex, it helps protect skin from future signs of aging, keeping it looking younger for longer.
After 2 weeks, skin looks younger; by 4 weeks, deep lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Results keep getting better with continued use. 80% of women said this serum provided the best ever anti-aging results they had ever seen."
But the one that comes in at number one on many lists for 2018 is this mack-daddy right here: Clarins Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate.
($89/$122)
"Complete age control concentrate. Two power-packed serums in one. Clarins most powerful age control concentrate ever! Now packed with [20+1] anti-aging plant extracts-including turmeric-for visibly smoother, firmer, more radiant skin in just 7 days.*
Double Serum's innovative dual technology successfully combines the most powerful plant extracts-both water-and oil-soluble-to ensure a perfect affinity with your skin, for exceptional anti-aging results.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
- Turmeric, known for its exceptional anti-aging properties
- Orthosiphon extract helps improve skin texture
- Oat sugars visibly firm and lift
- Callicarpa extract revives radiance
So there you have it!
These were the four that were on everyones list mixed in with some others, but these were the only serums that repeatedly showed up.
So what's the best of these four? Only you can truly decide what works best for your skin. Skincare is always going to be a trial and error type of thing. One of these may work better for you and the other may work better for me. However I do plan on trying all of these and determining if their claims are true and which one I believe works the best for myself.
So to be continued...
But I will most definitely be starting with the cheaper and working my way up!
So lucky no. 7 here we come!
