Whether you’re a skincare aficionado or a complete newbie, it can sometimes get a bit much trying to decide how to best tackle your skin goals and exactly what to include in your routine.

There are so many serums that claim to do so many things and it can be difficult to wade through it all and understand which one will *actually help* you with your skin concerns.

Enter BOOST LAB, who make highly potent, targeted serums but also help simplify the entire process so you can better understand what your skin needs.

Even better than that, the BOOST LAB serums are colour coded (I LOVE colour coding!) to easily identify your favourite serum.

Let’s go through a couple of common skin concerns and see which ingredients are best suited to helping your routine work its hardest for you.

Puffy under eyes and dark circles

The under-eye area is quite delicate, so it can be a bit tricky to figure out, especially if you’re trying to tackle more than one issue at a time.

Fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles and puffy under-eye bags can all contribute to the appearance of a tired eye area.

Peptides are a hero ingredient when it comes to revitalising the skin, because they act as the building blocks of important proteins in your skin such as collagen and elastin. They can help support your skin by increasing the firmness and plumpness of the area.

The blue labelled Bio-Active Eye Reset Serum pair these hero peptides with a number of natural extracts and mineral blends to visibly reduce puffy eye bags and dark circles.

BOOST LAB has united these ingredients together, along with a mineral tonic for a serum to help revive your under-eye area.

Supercharging this routine with the Night Renewal Serum introduces retinol, a gold standard ingredient to help renew skin and improve elasticity.

Dry and dull skin

Aside from feeling dry and tight, other signs of skin in need of hydration are a rough texture, increased sensitivity or an overall dullness.

The best way to help improve this is to boost your moisture levels as well as strengthen your skin barrier to prevent further moisture loss.

This is where the multi-award winning BOOST LAB 2D-Hyaluronic Hydro Boost steps in, with two types of hyaluronic acid as well as Pro-Vitamin B5 (read: Panthenol).

Whilst the hyaluronic acids work together to deeply penetrate and hydrate the skin, the Panthenol steps in to speed up the natural restorative processes of your skin and work as a protective film to hold water in.

Want to take it one step further? Pair it with the Brightening Serum, so that you can help get that glow again whilst increasing your hydration.

Breakouts and blemishes

There can be many reasons why you’re experiencing breakouts, but whatever the reason, there are a couple of superstar ingredients that work well together to treat existing breakouts and prevent new ones.

Vitamin B3, better known as Niacinamide, is an all-rounder that benefits almost every skin type, with research showing that it works to regulate oil production in the skin, calm inflammation, as well as protecting against sun damage and other environmental stress.

That’s why you can find it in the BOOST LAB Blemish Rescue Serum, along with Zinc PCA, which also helps to reduce redness and support the healing process post-breakout. Another great way to help treat and reduce breakouts is by exfoliation, using an ingredient like Lactic Acid to gently remove dead skin cells for a revitalised skin surface.
