A serum, The Little Giant of Skincare.

A serum is the part of an everyday skincare routine that is easily forgotten. Customers tend to focus on the cleansers and moisturizers and forget about these active-ingredients-infused skincare super-food products.

They give our skin the extra boost it needs to look and feel fabulous. Even when customers say that they don’t need a serum, there’s usually something about their skin that they want to fix: dark spots, sagging, wrinkles, dehydration, sensitivity…

What is a serum?

A serum has a concentrated amount of active ingredients. You apply a serum on a perfectly clean skin before your daily moisturizer.

Serums are usually a bit more expensive than other skincare products, but there is a reason for that: Serums are packed with active ingredients, that thanks to their small molecule size, are able to penetrate deeper into the skin and offer better and longer lasting results.

Sothys Advanced Research Group in France has spent years to develop a new cutting-edge texture that allows an even better absorption!  A serum treats the skin from the inside out, whilst a cream treats the skin from the outside in!

Why should I use a serum?

Everyone can benefit from the use of serums. At Sothys we have a solution for every problem one might have with their skin: if your skincare goal is to soothe, balance, hydrate, nourish, cleanse, lift, detox, firm, smooth or get back that lovely oval shape of your facial contours, you will achieve that goal with a little help from “The Little Giant of Skincare”, a.k.a The serum.

NEW YOUTH SERUMS

Serums are made up of smaller molecules that can penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of the active ingredients. This makes them a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns. Procedures such as lasers, LEDs, hyaluronic injections, radiofrequency and mesotherapy have been investigated and the effects of the New SOTHYS serums are comparable to those obtained with these treatments.

So in every Serum there is a Dermo-Aesthetic action. An intensive treatment in every bottle. Fil de Vie (Thread of life).
