Looking for a do-it-all hero? Neostrata’s Bionic Face Serum just might be what you need.

We all know that aging is inevitable. But truth be told, this reality doesn’t really hit a lot of people until we actually see it in the mirror: those dark spots that just won’t fade, the fine lines and wrinkles that grow deeper and more prominent every year, and the loss of volume and elasticity that becomes even more noticeable over time. These signs start to manifest on the surface of the skin when we hit our mid-20s, and will only become more palpable as you get older—lest you do something to minimize their appearance.

The good news is there’s a myriad of products for each of our aging skin concerns, from moisturizers and eye creams to masks and intensive treatments. If you have multiple skin concerns you wish to address, however, or are looking to keep your routine simple but all-encompassing, a multitasking product can prove to be a game-changer.

Meet the Bionic Face Serum

If the word “bionic” sounds like the stuff of superhero movies, that’s because Neostrata’s Bionic Face Serum is a skin care superhero—especially for aging skin. But first, here’s a quick primer on serums: Serums are skin care products that are designed to deliver high concentrations of active ingredients to the skin, usually in lightweight formulas for easy absorption. They’re actually considered skin care powerhouses as they’re formulated to zero in on specific skin care concerns.

So what exactly does the Bionic Face Serum do? For starters, its key ingredient is lactobionic acid, an oxidized form of lactose derived from milk, and which is also known as the much gentler sister of AHAs or alpha hydroxy acids. That said, it functions similarly to AHAs—exfoliating, renewing, and refreshing skin—but minus the harshness, so you don’t have to worry about irritation.

We break down the many benefits you can get from this super serum:

It’s an intense hydrator. Apart from being instrumental in the skin renewal process, lactobionic acid also acts as a humectant, which means it’s capable of retaining moisture within the skin. It boosts the effectivity of your moisturizer, too, helping ward off dryness further.
It smoothens and refines the skin. Because lactobionic acid is a PHA or polyhydroxy acid, it gently exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin minus the usual harsh effects of AHAs, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. It also evens out the skin texture, refines pores, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It protects and brightens. Loaded with antioxidant powers, it fights against free radical damage to counteract pigmentation and helps improve the skin’s overall tone and radiance, fading dark spots and other blemishes.
It strengthens the skin. It builds up skin’s support by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down skin’s structure, improving volume and elasticity.
It amplifies the benefits of your other anti-aging products. Also packed with Vitamins A, C, and E, it promotes overall skin health and improves the absorption of your other skin-caring products for optimum benefits.

To use: Apply to the face and neck daily after cleansing and before applying your makeup. You can use it as an all-over facial treatment or apply to specific problem areas, such as under the eye or around the mouth (It’s gentle enough for these sensitive areas!). Of course, don’t forget your daily sunscreen.
