What is Silver Serum and What are the Benefits for Your Skin?

Throughout history, silver has symbolised purity, clarity and strength. Today, its potency has been harnessed to create unique skincare that promises a plethora of benefits for the skin.

But when it comes to silver serums, not all are created equal. Its efficacy depends largely on the type of Silver used in its formulation. Enter Silver Hydrosol , the safest and most active form of Silver, and the highest standard in silver skincare .

Celebrated for its antimicrobial and healing properties, Silver Hydrosol supports the skin’s flora, regenerates tissue, reduces inflammation and so much more. And serums offer a potent concentration of their active ingredients which makes them particularly effective in targeting specific skin concerns.

What is silver serum?

Silver serum is a skincare formula that contains silver as one of its active ingredients. While each brand may use a different type of silver, the purest form you can find in skincare is Silver Hydrosol. Composed  of only 99.99% pure silver and USP 23 grade purified water, and with more than 98% positively-charged silver content, it's the most active form of silver and safe to use on skin.

What is silver serum used for?

Silver serum can be incredibly effective at managing acne and skin blemishes as Silver not only reduces bacteria on the skin but supports the skin flora. With the high concentrations that serums offer, a silver serum can be a powerful elixir if you experience breakouts.

Additionally, silver serum can help to regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for individuals with oily or combination skin types. Silver serum with Silver Hydrosol also plays a crucial role in accelerating the healing process of damaged skin by promoting the regeneration of tissue. This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting the generation of new skin cells, ultimately contributing to a more youthful complexion.

Regulates sebum production: By regulating sebum production, silver serum helps to prevent clogged pores and reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts, making it an ideal choice for those with oily or combination skin.

How silver serum can help acne

The potent antibacterial properties in silver serum target acne-causing bacteria, effectively reducing breakouts and preventing future flare-ups. But that's not all – silver serum also boasts anti-inflammatory qualities that soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, promoting faster healing of blemishes.

And by regulating oil production, it prevents pores from getting blocked to minimise the appearance of new blemishes.

Using silver serum for rosacea

Rosacea is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes reddened skin and a rash, usually on the nose and cheeks.

If you’re experiencing rosacea, incorporating a silver serum into your daily skincare ritual can help reduce redness and calm skin. Silver serums are gentle on sensitive skin, making them an ideal choice for those with rosacea who need effective skincare solutions without the risk of further irritation.

The powerful anti-inflammatory properties of silver serums work wonders to soothe redness and calm irritated skin, alleviating the discomfort often associated with rosacea flare-ups so that you can feel more comfortable and at home in your skin.

How do you use it?

Adding this small but effective step to your skincare routine is simple, so you can elevate your skincare routine with ease...

Cleanse your skin: Start by washing your face with your favourite cleanser ~ for a rich, nourishing cleanse, we love our oil-to-milk cleanser . This washes away the day and prepares your skin for the rest of your routine. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

Dispense a few drops: Shake the silver serum bottle gently before use. Then dispense a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips. You only need a small amount for each use.

Apply to targeted areas: With the serum on your fingertips, gently dab it onto the areas where you want to focus, such as the lines between your brows, across your forehead, and between your nose and mouth. Use your fingertips to massage the serum into these areas using upward, circular motions. This helps the serum to penetrate the skin effectively.

Let it absorb: Allow the serum to absorb into your skin completely. This usually takes a few minutes. Avoid touching your face or applying any other products until the serum is fully absorbed.

Follow up with a moisturiser: Once the silver serum has been absorbed, complete your routine with a moisturiser to keep skin feeling radiant, soft and cushioned. For this, we love our silver moisturiser - this luxurious cream will complement the effects of the silver serum, leaving your skin looking noticeably radiant and rested.

Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips and gently massage it into your skin using upward motions.

The order you apply your skincare products is just as important as the ingredients they contain. After cleansing, but before applying heavier creams or oils, is the perfect time to incorporate the silver serum into your skincare routine. This allows the serum's active ingredients to penetrate your skin effectively, before locking it in with your moisturiser or oil of choice. You can use your silver serum as part of both your morning and evening skincare routines.

How long does silver serum take to work?

Silver serum works in harmony with your skin's natural pace, harnessing the power of silver ions to combat acne-causing bacteria effectively. While individual results may vary, most people experience a noticeable improvement in their skin within two to three weeks of daily use. Remember, every application is a step closer to clearer, healthier skin. For those with acne, it may take longer to see results but, with regular use, you'll be on the path to a more confident, radiant complexion.
