Best Beauty Buys 2023: Repairing Serums

Protect the integrity of your skin barrier while reaping the benefits of powerful skincare active ingredients

by Ho Guo Xiong  /   January 7, 2023

Best Beauty Buys is The Singapore Women’s Weekly’s annual round up of the best and most effective products currently on the shelves. This year, we spotlight the skincare and makeup needs of busy mums who juggle children and demanding jobs who want to look and feel good doing it. The products were road-tested by a group of such multi-tasking women, and these are their picks.

Most of us know that powerful skincare active ingredients such as retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and vitamin C can occasionally leave your skin feeling sensitised and irritated, especially when you’ve been overly zealous with the application. Some of these tell-tale signs include flushing, stinging and dryness. But if you’re not looking to skimp on reaping the benefits of these actives, then look towards our round up of the best repairing serums. These serums have been formulated to be gentle on the skin barrier while delivering the touted targeted results peptides, niacinamide and more.
