Which Serum Is Right For You?

Serum is a crucial step in any skincare routine. Light and easily absorbed, serum is designed to penetrate, improve, and nourish the skin by using smaller molecules and concentrated active ingredients aimed at treating a specific concern.

These actives vary widely, which can sometimes make choosing the right serum feel overwhelming. Which serum is best for anti-aging? Which works best for oily skin? Which serum is best for brightening? Fortunately, our formulas make answering these questions easy, as each contains a targeted dose of proven-effective actives that work to give you glowing, healthy skin.

Best Anti-Aging Serum: Squalane + Retinol Night Serum

Retinoids are renowned by dermatologists as the gold standard among anti-aging ingredients. Our groundbreaking Retinol Night Serum contains encapsulated retinol and retinal to gently deliver the most powerful dose of retinoids you can get without a prescription. Our time-released formula gradually releases these powerful retinoid actives into your skin over 8 hours, visibly improving fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots without irritation. 

Antioxidants rosemary and saffron work within our formula to keep both retinoids stable. This not only ensures that our retinoid actives remain effective, it also means they won’t break down and irritate your skin.

Retinoids are clinically proven to speed cell turnover, so using sunscreen is a must when including these powerful ingredients in your routine.

Best Serum for Skin Brightening: Squalane + Vitamic C Dark Spot Serum

If you’re looking for a targeted treatment that instantly brightens while dissolving dark spots over time, our Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum is the one for you. Our shelf-stable formula contains 10% vitamin C to visibly brighten while fighting free radicals to prevent dark spots.

Best Serum for Oily Skin + Enlarged Pores: Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum

Treatments geared towards exfoliating oily skin can sometimes leave your face feeling stripped and sensitive. But our 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum is different. It powerfully—but gently—dissolves dead surface cells to reveal brighter, more even skin underneath. 

Lactic acid is clinically proven to reduce the look of dark spots and improve uneven skin texture. Some studies suggest that it may even reduce acne by controlling bacteria, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation.

A quick note: as the name suggests, our lactic acid serum is a nighttime-only product that increases cell turnover. Be sure to wear sunscreen every day, if you aren’t already.
