Whether during the sunny days of summer, or the equally drying days of winter (we really can’t win, can we?), a potent serum can add an essential moisture boost to your daily skin routine.
A few skin-boosting ingredients to consider in your next serum are hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, Vitamin C and more.
Here are five of our current serum favourites:
Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum
Collagen is a frequently used word in skin care. That’s because the structural protein is a key element of the body’s tissues including skin, bones and more. As we age, the production of collagen in or body decreases. In an attempt to address this reduction, specifically at the skin level, this new serum from Vichy features a Co-Bond Technology to “boost and bond” collagen and address 16 signs of aging.
SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupters Ultra Serum
Billed as a “multi-patented skin lifting serum,” this formula from SkinCeuticals addresses collagen loss and skin rejuvenation in four key areas: the neck, jawline, forehead and cheeks. The potent serum, which features ingredients such as wild fruit flavonoids, proxylane and Gentiana Lutea extract, promises increased firmness, hydration and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
Shiseido Benefiance Brightening Micro-Spot Serum
A new serum addition to the Benefiance line, which addresses concerns such as wrinkles and skin elasticity, this Micro-Spot Serum targets dark spots, skin tone and smoothness. The made-in-Japan formulation from Shiseido features 4MSK — also known as 4-methoxysalicylic acid, which is a brightening ingredient — to address hyperpigmentation and other dark-spot concerns.
R.E.M. Beauty Dreamglow Highlight Serum
This highlighting serum is a skin-caring makeup formulation. From the Ariana Grande-backed beauty brand R.E.M., this peptide-rich formula is available in three hues: Aura (a pearlescent opal); Goddess (a stunning bronze); and Honeypot (warm gold) to give skin a boost of hydration, thanks to hyaluronic acid, and a seriously glamorous glow.
Chanel N°1 De Chanel Red Camellia Serum-in-mist
A viral beauty product that is trending both for its chic exterior packaging and its performance, this serum-in-mist formulation from Chanel offers instant hydration. The multipurpose product features red camellia extract to nourish skin. It can be used as a base layer on clean skin, or spritzed on for a chic hit of midday moisture while you’re on the go.
