Serums are usually the most expensive products within any skincare routine due to the sheer concentration of active ingredients they contain. However, that doesn’t mean you have to shell out hundreds of dollars for them. Here are our best picks under $100.
Fortified with oxygen-rich water, this lightweight serum not only hydrates, but improves skin elasticity and radiance as well. The serum is also free from fragrances, dyes, parabens, and urea, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Formulated with cica (also known as Centella Asiatica), this calming serum helps soothe any redness and itching thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
The For Beloved One Advanced Hyaluronic Acid GHK-Cu Moisturizing Serum contains hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights, allowing it to penetrate skin at different depths to deliver hydration.
Rich in probiotic, prebiotic and postbiotic actives, the Gallinee Youthful Serum is one that truly loves your skin. It respects skin’s natual pH levels and maintains its unique biome so that it doesn’t destroy your skin’s natural defenses against external aggressors. It also helps to stimulate skin cell renewal, improve radiance as well as quench parched skin for up to eight hours.
Formulated to form a protective veil for your skin, the IDS Skincare DermaShield Serum helps defend against the harmful blue light emitted by your mobile phone and computer screens. Blue light has been known to cause pigmentation on skin so layer this serum under sunscreen for best results against unwanted skin dullness.
Rich in antioxidants, the innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is skin’s best defense against free radical damage which bombards our skin daily.
Packed with ingredients which not only help lighten and prevent the onset of pigmentation, this lightweight serum also contains hyaluronic acid with two different molecular weights to hydrate skin. Plus, it’s dermatologically tested, fragrance-free and colourant-free, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
The Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution might be unassuming with its clear fluid serum, but actually contains a really stable form of vitamin C which targets deep-seated dark spots and helps prevent the formation of pigmentation. White Birch Extract helps restore hydration, and improve collagen and elastin synthesis, for bouncy, firm skin.
Like their signature Glow Tonic, the Pixi Overnight Glow Serum also contains glycolic acid to help gently exfoliate skin. This means brighter skin which is more even in texture and tone. It also contains a cocktail of ingredients like cucumber and aloe vera extract, as well a vitamin A,C and E, to hydrate, calm and nourish skin.
