10 New Serums to Take Your Skin Into Summer

Biologique Recherche Sérum Matriciel Visage ($145)

This active ingredient–filled serum is so light it almost feels like water when you apply it. Even better, it somehow does the almost-impossible task of making skin look firmer, tighter and toned.

iS CLINICAL White Lightening Serum ($125)

Hydroquinone-free and a big-time skin brightener, this brand-new launch helps you ditch hyperpigmentation safely—even during the hottest months.

Dehydrated skin doesn’t stand a chance against this potent serum that gives skin a massive hydration rush via hyaluronic acid. 

StriVectin Overnight Resurfacing Concentrate ($72)

This works-while-you-sleep enzyme-based serum resurfaces skin overnight, minus any redness or irritation. 

Bare Republic Milk & Honey Daily Recovery Serum ($10)

It’s intended for after-sun use, but this tiny, turmeric-packed serum is a powerful protector against sun damage—and all the havoc it causes—any time you apply it. 

Guinot BiOXYGENE Serum ($81)

If the skin care sins of past summers have your complexion looking less than stellar, try this new nourishing serum, which claims to fight irritants that deprive the complexion of daily environmental irritants.

It took five years of research, but the wait was worth it for this turbo-charged serum. Its unique delivery system helps provide the skin with mineral waters via crystals (it’s then infused with Dead Sea jojoba oil). The result is a very serious anti-aging product that’s also paraben-free.

Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum ($49)

It’s sort of a serum, sort of a moisturizer, but this multitasking product literally “plumps” up skin and makes it looks smooth the second you apply it.

H20+ Beauty Waterbright Illuminating Serum ($56)

It doesn’t roll out until mid-summer, but this upcoming launch is too good not to plan for now. It’s formulated with vitamin C, so it really treats stubborn spots; wrinkle-reducing ingredients round out the formula for a true multitasker.

Nuori Supreme-C Serum Treatment ($129)

This two-step treatment has a bit of a DIY element: You press a button, 100-percent vitamin C powder comes out and you mix/shake it into a serum. It only lasts 10 days, but the super-pure, -fresh and -effective ingredients really do a number to replenish dull skin.
