Swapping out that multi-step glass skincare routine for something a little more minimal? We don’t blame you. Truth is, it’s honestly tough to commit to a 10-step routine especially when all you want to do at the end of the day is to hit the sheets. Yes — cleansing, toning and moisturising should suffice, but if you’re looking to achieve an ethereal glow with that flawless skin of yours, then fitting in a serum into your regime might just be what you need.
Sure, the options are aplenty in this beautyverse — they literally have any serum to suit any kind of skincare concern that you might have — but our Beauty Hit List 2019 judges have made things a whole lot easier by sifting out some of their top picks from some of your favourite brands.

“I LOVE this vitamin c serum, which has such a high concentration of vitamin c yet doesn’t cause breakouts. I’m impressed by how stable the formula is, as well as by the intelligent product packaging design which minimises oxygen or light exposure, and I can’t think of an easy replacement for this product which hits all the above boxes well. Five/five for this!” — Jemma

“An overnight winner! Gentle on the skin, but powerful results; skin clears up and gets fresher and brighter in just 3 days! A must-have.” — Adele
“FAVOURITE nighttime serum that can double up as a spot treatment. Not too harsh on the skin but still strong enough to really leave the skin looking clearer and brighter. I love using this and Drunk Elephant’s A-Passioni on alternate nights. It’s like a power duo.” — Aimee

“A slight tingling when applied, but delivers on its brighter skin promise, making it easy to fake good genes and good skin – just as promised.” — Jemma
“This feels like a stronger nighttime serum than Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C, and boosts skin’s turnover when it’s looking and feeling dull. A close second to the Drunk Elephant one, which is gentle enough to be used daily.” — Adele
