Let’s talk about one of the most important steps in any skincare routine — serums!

These powerful formulas pack active ingredients that can completely change your skin’s texture, tone, and hydration. After trying so many, there are a couple that truly made a difference and left my skin looking smoother, stronger, and more radiant.

1. The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

This serum is a total skin-saver, especially if your barrier is feeling stressed or irritated. Infused with 2% Aloe and 2% N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG), it helps calm, hydrate, and strengthen your skin over time. The aloe provides instant soothing relief, while NAG supports barrier repair and promotes a healthy glow. It’s lightweight, affordable, and gentle enough for everyday use — a true essential for sensitive or dry skin. You can grab it at The Ordinary’s official website or most beauty retailers.

2. The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution

This serum is a lightweight, soothing formula designed to calm irritation and redness while providing gentle hydration. The 2% Aloe Vera extract helps calm and refresh the skin, while the 2% N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) works to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. Ideal for sensitive or stressed skin, it absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue and pairs well with other treatments in a daily skincare routine.

3. Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum

If your skin craves hydration, this serum will be your new best friend. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it draws in moisture to keep your skin plump, soft, and hydrated all day long. It layers beautifully under moisturizer or makeup and helps smooth fine lines caused by dryness. Despite its low price, the quality is impressive — giving you dewy, refreshed skin with every use. Available directly from the Good Molecules website or select beauty stores.

Add them to your routine and watch your skin transform into its healthiest, happiest version.
