25 best-selling anti-ageing serums beauty fans are loving in 2024
When it comes to skincare, we all know to cleanse and moisturise. But as we age, our skin’s ability to remain firm, elasticated and repair itself decreases, and the two main factors that age the skin is our genetics and the environment.
So that's when anti-ageing products come in, and one of those is an anti-ageing serum, designed to help improve the overall appearance of the skin such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness, dehydration and hyper-pigmentation.
The best anti-ageing serums work by penetrating more deeply into the skin thanks to their very small molecules, and often include wrinkle-fighting ingredients to promote and enhance collagen production and skin cell renewal.
They also offer a powerful dose of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and niacinamide that are delivered to the skin more quickly than a moisturiser, which is great to layer on afterwards to seal in the benefits of the serum for a brighter, smoother, clearer complexion.
To help you in your search to find the best anti-ageing serum we've rounded up some best selling options below.
