6 Perfect Skin Serums and Everything You Need to Know About Each One

L’Oréal Paris 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum

L’Oréal Paris really spoiled us with this one because it works to make skin appear plump and replenished with every use. It’s a great refresher serum if you’re feeling dull and dry at the perfect drugstore price.

Skinceuticals H.A Intensifier

“Serums rich in peptides can help to boost collagen and elastin production and restore firmness to the skin,” Geyer notes. This is why the H.A intensifier is at the top of our list. Perfect for dehydrating or aging skin, this serum works to improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity when used, and it’s one of our go-to first step skincare regimens.

Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil

For some major glow up and a nice makeup prep combo, start your routine with Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil. This lightweight oil does wonders in combating excess shine on the face, all while leaving your skin feeling hydrated and buoyant thanks to its cocktail of antioxidants.

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

If you’re looking to give your skin a little TLC overnight, look no further than the Midnight Recovery Concentrate by Kiehl’s. “Serums rich in essential oils and Omega-3 fatty acids can help the skin repair itself overnight and make sure the skin’s barrier function is working at its best,” Geyer notes. A repetitive regimen of this little oil will help you get there.

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic

For some even more antioxidant power, a serum that helps to even out your complexion will become your new BFF. “Antioxidant rich serums tend to work well at preventing oxidative strain from pollution and UV radiation that we are all exposed to during the day, making them ideal for application under a sunscreen in the morning,” says Dr. Geyer. Before applying your makeup, add a few drops of C E Ferulic to help protect every inch.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum

If you have acne-prone skin, this one's for you. Chock full of glycolic, hyaluronic and micro-exfoliating lip-hydroxy acids, Effaclar works to minimize pores and smooth out the skin texture. This in turn is perfect for oily skin as it will help to slow the process of breakouts.
