Serums really are the superstar of skincare. Packed with high concentrations of powerhouse ingredients, these products are where you’ll really see transformation in your skin. With literally thousands of different serums on the market, shopping for the right one for you can feel a little intimidating. Face serums rarely come cheap either, so you want to make sure you’re putting your money into a product that works. Here’s a quick run-through of some of my favourite serums for all skins, dehydrated, acne-prone – whatever you’re looking for, I’ve got you covered. 

FOR DRY/DEHYDRATED SKIN

VOTARY – Brightening Hyaluronic Serum

This little bottle of thirst-quenching goodness is always what I reach for when my skin feels a little on the dehydrated side. Packed with moisture-boosting Hyaluronic Acid, the formula also contains AHA glycolic acid to boost glow. My skin always looks plumped up and dewy the next morning after applying a few drops of this serum.

FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN

The Glowcery – Clean Greens Superfood Serum Oil*

I struggled with a spate of hormonal acne for a good few years, so trust me when I say I’ve tried my fair share of face serums for blemish-prone skin. This beautiful oil from plant-based skincare brand The Glowcery was one of my favourites. Not only did it limit my breakouts, but also did wonders on the hyperpigmentation left behind from scarring.

FOR OILY SKIN

Glossier – Super Pure Serum

Much like with my pick from above, this serum from Glossier was another hero product when combatting my hormonal acne and when my skin was more on the oily side. Super lightweight, this water-based serum was my daily go-to for years, creating a smoother texture and balancing out my oil levels.

FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Alivio Wellness – Facial Hydrator Serum*

Whenever my skin feels a tad on the sensitive side, Alivio Wellness are always a range I reach for. Created with sensitive skin in mind and filled with natural and gentle ingredients, I can always depend on this serum/oil hybrid to chill things out when my skin needs a little TLC.

FOR SKIN WITH HYPERPIGMENTATION 

ESPA – Triactive Regenerating Bio-Retinol Sleeping Serum

Though my skin has calmed down significantly, I still get odd spots and patches of hyperpigmentation now and again. I’ve also noticed as I’ve gotten older, this doesn’t heal quite as quickly on its own – sad times. Dabbling my hand in more retinol products, I discovered this serum from ESPA and am a bit in love. It’s that product I can always count on to give me a great skin day when applied the night before. It really has you waking up like you just had a facial – glowing and smooth.
