Serums

The Anua Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum pairs niacinamide with tranexamic acid in a light, comfortable texture. If your skin already knows vitamin C and wants more, the COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum is a strong pure vitamin C serum for dull skin and dark spots. For a dewy finish, the Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin works on dullness and spots. Wear sunscreen every morning alongside any of them.

For evenings, the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum combines retinol, retinal and bakuchiol to improve elasticity and texture. If you would rather avoid retinoids, the COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum sinks in like a toner and leaves skin firmer and smoother, and the Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin leaves tired skin bouncy.

The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum is weightless and helps calm the look of redness and blemishes on sensitive skin. For simple comfort, the Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol soothes stressed skin and keeps it hydrated. Introduce one new serum at a time.

One in the morning and one at night is plenty for most routines, and it makes it much easier to see what is working. If you want two in the same routine, choose different concerns rather than two versions of the same active, apply the thinner texture first, and give each a minute to sink in before the next.
