By NewBeauty Editors · May 18, 2015

Walk into any beauty retailer and you’re bound to find rows and rows of serums, each providing a unique function that’s different from the next. We scoured through dozens of serums and rounded up of the best ones out there for acne, aging, brightening, and everything else in between.

1 / 7

For Redness

Loaded with vitamin K, which helps to constrict blood vessels and make the look of broken capillaries and redness less visible, LING Skincare Vitamin K soothes stressed-out skin with a unique blend of natural Asian herbs. $80, lingskincare.com

2 / 7

For Lack of Firmness

With age, skin loses its firmness and starts to become slack. But, the regular use of a serum that tightens, like Jan Marini Skin Research C-ESTA Face Serum, can redefine the contours of the face. This one also protects against free radicals and environmental damage, too. $90, janmarini.com
