Choosing between several skincare products, whether online or in-store, may be difficult, especially when made with exclusive patented ingredients and they’re all touted to be “great” for you. We’re all aware of the advantages of having a decent skincare routine. However, it is equally crucial to utilize high-quality skin care products to ensure that your skin receives the nutrients it requires. Yet, all these options may still leave you wondering about which one you should be investing in.

To help, here are five skincare serums we believe are definitely worth investing in:

Aēsop Lucent Facial Concentrate

Suitable for: Most skin types

A lightweight, Vitamin C serum with the aroma of rose petals that help calm, nourish, and balance skin, Aēsop’s Lucent Facial Concentrate is great for people who prefer gentler formulations whilst still getting the job done. From the forehead to the neck, massage half a teaspoon into freshly washed and toned skin. 

Aēsop Lucent Facial Concentrate is available online via www.aesopskincare.ph, and in-store at Aēsop Greenbelt & Aēsop Powerplant Mall.

Salt & Stone Hydrating Facial Lotion

Suitable for: Dry skin

Using a fully recyclable glass bottle, this serum is a fragrance-free, lightweight moisturizing lotion enriched with plant-based Squalane, Ginger Root, and Banana Extract to deliver immediate hydration. Smoothly apply in upward and outward motions from the centre of the face to the neck and décolleté, then softly press in to improve absorption.
