Product Information

But at night, it's all about repair. "At night, however, the skin shifts to repair mode and millions of cells start to renew and reverse the damage from the day," she says. "Those same antioxidants are used in a completely different way." When you're sleeping, your body's circadian rhythm cues your skin that it's time for cellular regeneration.

Olay and L’Oreal are both drugstore brands that offer skincare products with effective active ingredients at a fraction of the cost of luxury brands. It’s #atthelevel and we all know that the Skinnygirl mogul wouldn’t say it if she didn’t believe it (she actually says it’s above the level, to be exact). As someone who tries so many products — drugstore and prestige alike — Frankel knows the difference between hype and truly effective ingredients, and her followers tend to agree.

NOTE #1: While Olay does not disclose the amount of retinol in this serum, if I use the serum two days in a row on my somewhat sensitive skin, I’ll start to experience dryness and irritation. Even though global beauty giant L’Oréal already offers an extensive collection of anti-aging skin care products, they have launched yet another product that promises to smooth the look of wrinkles, firm skin, and promote radiance — L’Oréal Midnight Serum. Housed in an opaque glass bottle with gold accents, it’s clear that L’Oréal wants this serum to appeal to those who want luxury skin care products at drugstore prices. If you have sensitive skin, you might consider mixing the moisturizer with another cream or oil to dilute it a bit since it could cause irritation. NOTE #2: When using this or any other retinol product, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day, as retinoids can make your skin slightly more sensitive to sunlight. description":"It’s one of the most important skincare products, but what is serum – and how is it best applied?

If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone! Ultimately, serum is a product that is generally water-based and when applied to the skin can penetrate deeply and target skincare concerns like wrinkles. It will often contain moisturising ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

Serums have a number of benefits. As they’re so light, they don’t feel too heavy on your skin and absorb fast, while they soothe sensitive skin too, so they’re often a good choice for people with oily or blemish-prone skin. They nourish skin while preventing dryness and offer a glowing finish, while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – these small bottles can be pretty powerful!

But how do you apply serum on your face, and around the eye area in particular? Let’s take a look.

Olay Retinol 24 MAX serum could be the better choice if you are looking for a more potent retinol serum. The jar dispenses the same amount every time, so you don’t have to worry about applying differing amounts every day. However, it is important to note that neither brand is the most affordable drugstore brand out there. The serum also contains Tropaeolum majus flower/leaf/stem extract, which is a plant extract that calms and soothes the skin. But like we mentioned earlier, combining these ingredients with denatured alcohol temporarily disguises lines and wrinkles, causing you to think the product is working. In our opinion, this is pretty deceptive, and it’s one reason we don’t recommend L’Oréal Midnight Serum.

Both serums will improve the look of skin texture, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and give your skin a more radiant glow.
