Who should use the Joyal Beauty Age Defy Serum?
Anyone who feels that their skin is looking tired and dull and could do with an exfoliating lift may benefit from using the Joyal Beauty Ultimate Brightening Age Defy Serum. It’s also ideal for people with oily or acne prone complexions, large pores, blackheads or whiteheads. The antioxidants in this Alpha Hydroxy Acid serum also help to reduce sun spots and age spots and reverse the effects of free radical damage, so if your skin is damaged by the sun or is dry and flaky, then this serum can be of great benefit to your complexion.
Whilst Joyal Beauty states that this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, just be very careful if you do have sensitive or delicate skin, because generally AHA serums are not recommended for people with sensitive skin. Although there is only a 2% concentration of Glycolic Acid in this serum, at these low levels you might be fine, but it always pays to check with a medical professional if in doubt.
You may also prefer to select either a Hyaluronic Acid Serum or a Vitamin C Serum, depending on your needs.
How do you use the Joyal Beauty Serum?
If this is your first time using the Joyal Beauty Ultimate Brightening Age Defy Serum or any AHA, then be sure to perform a patch test on your skin for a few days – on the skin under your ear just to be sure that it doesn’t irritate your skin, as some people can be very sensitive to Glycolic Acid. Also, make sure to wear a sun screen at all times outdoors as AHAs can make your skin very sensitive to the sun. Having said all of this, most people apply a few drops of this serum to their face and neck areas, after cleaning at night time.
