Ever given someone you like so many chances, by the end of it you feel nothing less than a 🤡? Welcome to the club. As someone who has been with her fair share of men, I’ve spent endless nights wondering how I end up in the same situation – hoping for changed behaviour after giving him a third chance in three months.
While this man led me to sunken eyes, a puffy face, and breakouts thanks to eating my weight in chocolate, I had products that did everything from replenishing moisture to clearing dark spots and making my skin plump. Unfortunately, I lost patience and gave them all away.
Judge me, but don’t be like me. Don’t toss away products before they show you their full potential. If you’re giving that man 10 chances the least you can do is give your serum a month to show you results. If I had to do it all over again (and I do), these are the serums that I’ll be repurchasing.
Trust me, give them a month to change your skin. Toss away the man instead.
With powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, the COSRX The Hyaluronic Acid 3 Serum will make it seem like the man never existed. Your dehydrated dull skin will feel plumper, and healthier and give your skin that glow it’s been missing since he entered your life.
This one might be heavy on the pocket, but the Biossance Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum is a green flag in bottle form, thanks to the presence of glycerine, squalene and lactic acid.
If you’ve been going back to re-read those messages till the wee hours in the morning, the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule will make it seem like you’ve got a full 7 hours of sleep. Thanks to the presence of Centella, it calms the skin and gives it a healthy complexion while replenishing moisture.
If you’ve been spending most of your time with your face in the pillow, The Ordinary’s Multi Peptide + HA Serum is your saviour. It promotes skin elasticity and firmness – undoing all the damage of that pillow tugging at your skin and giving you a glow-up you didn’t think was possible!
It might not be easy to fix your heart, but the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi Recovery Complex does a fantastic job at fixing your skin for you. While it may be hard to restore your faith in men, this serum actually does what it says and restores your skin, with results visible in less than three weeks.
While I can’t expect clarity and corrected behaviour from a man anymore, the Clearly Corrective serum by Keihl’s is something I can lay my faith in instead. With white birch extract, peony extract and activated Vitamin C, this one gives you visibly clear skin, you’ll be shook.
Formulated with 11 active ingredients, the d’you Hustle serum is the best in the biz to repair your skin barrier. Maybe take a note or two to toughen up your heart as well?
Let this be a lesson – henceforth, put your energy only into that which promises results and delivers them! These tried-and-tested serums may take a while to work, but they won’t make you question your sanity, or have you beg for the bare minimum.
