Skincare is all about finding products that work for your skin type while giving you a little self-care boost along the way.

Over time, I've tested countless serums and oils, but these favorites have earned a permanent spot in my collection. They're versatile, effective, and perfect for different parts of your routine. Here's a breakdown of my top picks!

1. Dieux Deliverance

This lightweight serum is ideal for both morning and night. It leaves the skin glowing, refreshed, and never feels heavy or cakey, even when layered with other products. It's perfect for anyone new to serums or someone who prefers a single, multitasking serum that does it all without overwhelming the routine.

2. Lancôme Génifique

For those who enjoy high-end skincare, Génifique is a treat. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it great for morning use. On days when a little indulgence is in order, this serum delivers a smooth, radiant finish and preps the skin beautifully for the day ahead.

3. 4AM Rise

A newer addition to my collection, 4AM Rise is excellent for morning routines. It's designed to protect the skin barrier, which is perfect for sunny days when SPF is essential. I've only used it a few times so far, but it feels refreshing and supportive for healthy, resilient skin.

4. Loli Tea Seed Elixir

This oil is truly a gem for combo skin. It's hydrating without causing breakouts, and a little goes a long way. I discovered it while working at Verishop, and it has quickly become a staple in my routine. The bottle lasts a long time, making it both effective and practical for daily use.

5. Sunday Riley Sleeping Night Oil

A cult favorite for a reason, this night oil provides gentle resurfacing and exfoliation while you sleep. It's potent, so start slow, especially if you have sensitive skin. I alternate this with the BeautyCounter Resurfacing Serum for balanced results, and it leaves skin smooth, refreshed, and glowing by morning.

These serums and oils cover every step of a well-rounded skincare routine—from lightweight daily serums like Dieux Deliverance and Génifique, to barrier-protecting options like 4AM Rise, and indulgent oils like Loli Tea Seed Elixir and Sunday Riley Night Oil. Together, they hydrate, protect, and enhance your skin, making them well worth adding to your collection.
