Serums are the daily essential you didn't know you needed. What is a serum, you ask? They are typically lighter than a moisturizer and can quickly deliver a concentration of active ingredients deep into your skin, making them great for targeting specific concerns, such as wrinkles, dullness, acne, and dehydration. With so many serums out there, choosing one that's right for you can be overwhelming. Lucky for you, we've rounded up our favorites that will tackle skin concerns with just a few drops, all available at Ulta Beauty. You can thank us later.
Built on 20 years of research, this best-selling serum is the winner of 200 global beauty awards, and it's easy to see why. It's fitted with Shiseido's patented ImuGeneration technology, which utilizes an optimal blend of botanical extracts such as moisturizing iris root and anti-aging reishi mushroom to deliver benefits for a plump, skin-firming finish. Thanks to an aromatic ImuCalm Compound—a blend of green floral fragrances, like rose and lotus—skin is left feeling soothed. The non-comedogenic formula sinks into skin lightning-fast, making it great for getting in an extra layer of moisture before makeup. A universal-use serum for all skin types and skin tones? Count us in.
Who knew so much power could be packed in such a small bottle? This is one of the well-reviewed products behind "glass skin," a Korean beauty trend that strives for a near-reflective complexion. Helping you work towards visibly calmer, flawless, and poreless results, Peach & Lily's Glass Skin Refining Serum more than lives up to the hype. The fast-absorbing gel serum leaves you many steps closer to the luminous skin of your dreams thanks to its powerhouse list of ingredients. Peach Extract, Asian Mountain Yam extract, Hyaluronic Acid Complex, and Niacinamide work together to fade dark spots, reduce inflammation, and improve fine lines. A combination of peptides kicks collagen production into high gear. Not to stop there: Peach & Lily formulas are clean, non-toxic, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.
The supercharged Lancôme Advanced Génifique Anti-Aging Serum does it all. Use it morning and night to help smooth, hydrate, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and defend against pollution, UV, cold, and dry weather. This award-winning serum contains Bifidus Prebiotic which helps provide a favorable environment for good bacteria present on the skin's surface. Vitamin C, which is packed with antioxidants, helps to soften skin and protect from free radicals. It also improves your skin's moisture levels so perpetual dryness can feel like a thing of the past. It's a major win for your skin!
