In today’s world, it gets difficult to ensure that you are following the right skincare regime. Time doesn’t permit the luxury of spending hours taking care of your skin. Sadly, pollution makes it more challenging to keep the skin healthy.
Serums stand out as the perfect solution that works as the holy grail for your skin. Serums come packed with useful nutrients for your skin that perform different jobs – ranging from skin hydration to skin brightening. Serums are generally clear, gel-based, or liquid, and are applied before moisturizers to help lock in moisture.
Check out our list of 7 face serums that are guaranteed to work wonders for your skin.

I’ve been using this with the C+Collagen Deep Cream and the Extra strength Alpha beta peel, and the eye cream since November and I LOVE it! I am only 27 but have had problems with acne, acne scars, oily skin and uneven skin tone for years. I finally solved the acne problem so I’ve been now working on my overall skin and aging. This stuff feels so good on my skin and makes a huge difference! I have less blackheads, the oil is controlled, skin tone looks great even without makeup, and it smells awesome too 🙂 Would recommend it 10x over.

I’ve only ever used night serums and was really looking for a serum to use during the day, and this product is perfect! I apply it after my toner and before moisturized, and it leaves your skin with such a healthy glow. It’s so pretty! It is a thicker, slightly grainier texture at first, but as you work it into the skin it melts into the surface. Love it for everyday!

Not for those trying to get from zero to bronzed overnight, but this gives a very subtle glow that can be built up with time and more importantly, it doesn’t break out my acne-prone skin! It does have a ~tropical~ smell when you first put it on, but the smell dissipates quickly.
Skin Type: Combination

I just received this a few days ago but wanted to post an initial review in hopes it might help someone else. I’m 49 and suffer from an autoimmune illness that causes inflammation body wide and in my face in the form of redness, blotchy skin and lots of visible capillaries. I also breakout easily, so add pimples on top of red, uneven skin and yeah…. you get the point. I’ve tried everything from Origins to Shiseido to help with this, to no avail. I finally purchased this after someone recommended it to me. After the first night I used it, I woke up to skin that was significantly less red. The next morning I also applied it to my VERY red eyelids that constantly look like I’ve been crying, thinking “what could it hurt?” Fifteen minutes later I looked in the mirror and was absolutely shocked- my eyelids weren’t red!!! They looked like normal, skin-colored eyelids with the visible capillaries way less noticeable. Not sure what’s in this stuff but it’s INCREDIBLE at taking down redness and inflammation in the skin. If I could give it ten stars, I would. Absolutely worth the price, IMO. 🙂

I received this in a tester and oh my goodness, my skin felt absolutely amazing. I have combination skin and typically very dry in the cheek and nose area. But after one usage of this I had to purchase the entire bottle. I’m hooked and love it.
Skin Type: Combination

This serum is the only product I have tried that gives me similar results to a laser treatment. It hasn’t done anything to reduce pore size or discoloration, but as far as overall radiance and more youthful looking skin. It looks like people tend to complain about fragrance. But unless you have a particular sensitivity to fragrance, it isn’t a problem. I love that Clarins skincare products have fragrance. It feels more luxurious.
Skin Type: Normal
7. Model Off Duty Beauty Bakuchiol Serum
Model Off Duty Beauty Bakuchiol Serum has Bakuchiol as the main ingredient, which naturally boosts collagen and elastin production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The other ingredients include squalene and hyaluronic acid to balance the oil production and maintain the skin’s ability to retain moisture and keep up collagen synthesis.

I love the bakuchiol glow booster serum. I love it being something I can use in place of retinol, because it can be hard on the skin. This serum makes my face glow, and it feels like pure silk on my face. It is also made in the usa.
Skin Type: Combination
