Hydration
Hydration is key
HOLY GRAIL. This serum actually changed my skin for good. My face was always so dry to the point that it hurt. But a few drops of this every day gave me so much hydration and I swear years later, even though I only use it occasionally, my skin is soo...
Josie Maran Argan Milk Serum
SUCH a good serum! It’s so hydrating and sinks right into the skin. I have rosacea and this keeps my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and redness-free.
Experiment Beauty Hydrating Barrier Serum
I have rosacea and started using a lot of products with licorice root extract and found that my skin loves it. Then I found this serum and I cannot live without it! It’s a great texture and layers easily with my other products and does not cause pill...
I'm From Licorice Soothing Ampoule
I love pairing this with the G&G Power Peptides at night time. I wake up with clear, smooth, hydrated skin.
Geek and Gorgeous Stress Less
This is a MUST if you have rosacea! This was one of those products that was so transformative for me that I have 3 bottles in my drawer so I never run out. It's so CALMING and soothing and gentle.
PROcure Rosacare Face Serum
This makes my skin feel sooooo soft.
BYOMA Hydrating Serum
This is super hydrating! And it’s a nice texture, like a classic serum.
Regimen Lab Wave Serum
Peptides
Peptide serums
Just started this, but I have high hopes! I use in the morning before C-Tetra and at night before Liquid Peptides
Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides
Yes, yes, yes! I love this serum - definitely worth the money! I love to pair with with Experiment’s Super Saturated serum and tretinoin at nighttime. I wake up with such even skin every time!
Medik8 Liquid Peptides Serum
So far this is great. Full disclosure, I've only used it a few times, but so far it's made my skin feel very soft, so I feel comfortable suggesting it!
DRMTLGY Needle-less Serum
I've just gotten into peptide serums and this was one of the first I used. It's very gentle and non-irrating.
Geek and Gorgeous Power Peptides
I love the original Liquid Peptides, so I decided to try this. So far I really like it!
Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced Face Serum
I love this peptide serum. It’s so hydrating and gives my skin such a glow! And gentle enough to not aggravate my rosacea!
YTTP Triple Peptide + Cactus Oasis Serum
Brightening
Vitamins C and discoloration serums
This is worth a try if you’re looking for a vit c serum! I used it religiously for a year and to be honest wasn’t sure it was doing anything - but oh boy once I stopped my skin became so dull looking! Turns out this actually keeps your skin and brigh...
Paula's Choice C15 Super Booster
Just got this and so far I am loving it! The texture is so nice - like a dry oil almost.
Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe
A CLASSIC! I miss this serum and will need to be repurchase soon. I love using it at night and waking up with GLOWY skin.
Ole Henriksen Truth Serum - Vitamin C Serum
It's gentle and it works. I don't have a *lot* of discoloration, and I don't get many pimples, but when I do get a pimple, once it clears up, I have a little red spot that will sit there for 6-12 months. It's maddening. I used this serum daily for a ...
Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum
Misc
General anti-aging or anti-redness
This a great retinol serum. And it's pretty gentle! I never had any irritation while using.
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum
An INCREDIBLE serum with bakuchiol! This serum works great on it's own, but I absolutely love pairing with with other Honua products. This serum is a MUST!
