You don’t actually have to buy these products separately.

Face serum - Go for A Face Serum: Not many are aware of this fact but face serum is very effective anti-aging products. Not many cosmetics & beauty products contact serum and therefore, it has to be applied separately. Use antioxidants (resveratrol, Vitamin C, E) rich serums in the morning and retinol (Vitamin A) based serums at night. These help in stimulating the cell turnover and reducing the collagen breakdown. A Retinyl Palmitate based serum is a milder option for people with sensitive skin.
