    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..My thoughts: This is a hot seller at my store. Many like this one because it is  affordable and is great for sensitive skin. I like the light weight gel texture that it has.


    Bioderma Hydrabio Serum - Moisturzing Concentrate

    • Details:

    • Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Non comedogenic and hypoallergenic
    • Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Size/Price: 40ml - $48CAD
    • Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..My thoughts: This one is one of my favourites that I tend to forget about. It is awesome for my oily skin without making me feel 'more oily'. At a great price and for sensitive skin, this one is a hidden gem.

    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Size/Price: 30ml - $42CAD
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..My thoughts: This serum is a little newer to the market. What attracted me to this one is first, the amazing smell of essential oils and plants as well as the fact that you can use it around the eyes and not just the face. I love that because it's a two in one! A little heavier on the texture side, I found that I did not have to pair this one up with a moisturizer.

    Dior Hydra Life Skin Energizer Pro Youth Hydrating Serum
    Claim to fame: An energy booster for tired, dehydrated skin.
    Details:
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Light gel texture that is formulated to blend instantly into the skin.

    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Size/Price: 50ml - $86CAD
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..My thoughts: This little baby is new on the market(reformulated). It is wonderful. I used it on some make overs I did and really noticed a difference with foundation application and skin smoothness. After that, this little one has a special place in my heart.


    Guerlain Super Aqua Serum  OPTIMUM HYDRATION REVITALIZER - DESERT ROSE FLOWER COMPLEX
    Claim to fame: A serum that has enhanced hydrating power and revitalizes the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
    Details: 
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Features the desert rose complex that deeply hydrates and protects; skin is plumped, smooth, supple and radiant.
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..The natural ingredients help to form an invisible barrier on the skin to help keep water in and environmental aggression out.
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Capable of maintaining optimal hydration levels and regenerating the cellular function even in the most harsh and arid environments.
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..Size/Price: 30ml - $150(ish) / 50ml -$198CAD
    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ..My thoughts: First, this one smells divine; like desert rose. It is truly a 'cult' follower product. We often sell out of this one in my store. Sure it comes with a price tag. But it is almost justified by the quality. It is a little heavier on the texture side. My friend uses this religiously and he finds that it really helps with fine lines/wrinkles, especially for him, the nasolabial fold.


    I can never find a serum that fits my oily/acne prone skin without making me breakout. I really like all of these serums for different reasons. If you are looking to smooth out, perfect, hydrate or just get healthy skin - you should definitely try one of these serums. Adding one of these to your skin care regime will help your other skin care work better. And for those of you who do not know where to put it in your skin care regime - use it just before your face cream.


    Have you tried any of these serums? Do you use them already? Do you use serums? What's your favourite?
