It has to be said that if you want really clear, nice skin, with a glow, you need to be covering your bases in terms of using different products to target different problems. That can mean that you’re cocktailing your skincare, and one way to add a weightless layer of function in there is with a really good serum.
I like my serums to feel like almost water on. I’ve used lots of Vitamin C serums before that smell bad and go on slightly greasy, but one that’s based in hyaluronic acid will be lighter but will also provide some moisture to the skin since hyaluronic acid is great for holding water.
I’m using Paula’s Choice Resist Brightening Essence ($42) right now – and it ticks all the boxes. It’s got that light-weight feel, and the moisture adding, but it also has vitamin C and other antioxidants in it which are proven to make skin brighter in the long run by prevening free-radical damage. Serums are great to use in the day time, especially if you’re going to be topping your skin with a sunscreen – they’re just going to make your sunscreen work better because the free radical damage can come in the form of UV rays!
