Learn More About The Ingredients In The Best Serum For Stressed Skin
So, how does a serum get rid of stress? It's formulated with cannabis, wild indigo, paracress extract, caffeine, and neuropeptides, which all work together to protect your skin from the effects of stress and energize the skin to reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles.
"The ingredients found in Revitalixir Recovery Serum can address some of these effects including caffeine and wild indigo, which reduce eye puffiness and dark circles; cannabis and hyaluronic acid which can help with dehydrated skin; and niacinamide and neuropeptide that help refine texture and expression lines," Dr. Murad continues.
Here's a breakdown of how each ingredient works:
1. Cannabis (hemp seed oil): Soothes and nourishes the skin, imparts softness and moisture, relieves dryness and visibly minimizes wrinkles.
2. Wild Indigo: Quickly calms skin’s stress signals to help improve skin’s luminosity; evens tone and improves the appearance of under eye dark circles.
3. Paracress Extract: Rich in alkylamides, which have been shown to help improve skin firmness and minimize the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.
4. Caffeine: Has antioxidant properties that diffuse skin-damaging free radicals to help smooth skin and re-invigorate tone. Combats the signs of fatigue and stress on skin, including under-eye puffiness, dullness and a loss of tone when applied topically.
5. Neuropeptides: Unique anti-aging peptide specifically designed to address skin wrinkling caused by repetitive facial expressions.
How To Use The Best Serum For Stressed Skin
This product is not only super effective and fast-acting, but it's also very easy to incorporate into your skincare routine. It can be used in the morning and at night and should applied after cleansing the skin. Massage the product evenly over your face, neck, and chest and gently pat some around the eye area. Then, follow with moisturizer.
Pro Tip: Dr. Murad recommends applying the product right before you add your sunscreen.
"Think of Revitalixir Recovery Serum as your 'stress-PF,'" Dr. Murad says. "Whereas SPF protects against effects of aging from the sun, Revitalixir, as your 'stressPF,' corrects effects of aging from stress, like dullness, dehydration, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. Because stress doesn’t just target one area of your skin, we designed this serum as a 2 in 1 and can be used for the face and eye area."
Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum Review
The Revitalixir Recovery Serum isn't available at Sephora yet but it's already being met with roaring reviews from Sephora shoppers. Check out what people are saying about Murad's latest launch:
"I am in my mid 20s (26) and while I have pretty great skin for a 26 year old, I have to say this is working wonders on me when I didn't even realize I needed wonders worked. The smell of this is great, it’s very light and doesn’t make my face feel sticky after the application of the serum like other serums in the past have. I have been using this serum prior to bed and in the am after I shower and apply makeup. I have noticed the biggest difference in the underneath of my eyes. As a 26 year old, I often don't always get enough sleep so this is a great cover up for that :)." - KatieDeB
