It's not uncommon to think, "Hey, I've already got a lotion I love—why do I need a serum?" Lotion and serum are quite different, and serum is definitely worth the investment.
Serum is much different than lotion. Lotion uses oil and other fillers to create its thick texture. Lotion's fantastic for hydrating the top layer of your skin. But that's all it does because its molecules are too large to penetrate past that top layer.
Serums are full of active ingredients. That makes them the most expensive skincare product you'll invest in, but it also makes serum the most effective product you'll own. They're extremely potent, and because they don't have the fillers that lotions do, they're able to penetrate deeper into your skin.
But not all serums are created equal. Our Mermaid Collagen Serum is unique in that it's made of 46% marine collagen, the highest-grade collagen available. As we age, our skin loses collagen naturally, and it's that loss of collagen that makes us look older. Our Mermaid Collagen Serum is able to better replace that lost collagen to help your skin maintain its youthful vibrancy.
Our serum is also able to help repair your skin faster, since collagen is responsible for helping skin heal. Use it after a procedure like microdermabrasion and you'll notice your skin bounces back faster. It's able to better ward off environmental stressors like dirt and smog, and it will have an overall more even texture.
Plus, wrinkle prevention is really where serum shines. Our Mermaid Collagen Serum hydrates deeply, helping stop wrinkles before they start. It also helps smooth out fine lines, so your face will look fresh and rested.
