While you may already be a diligent user of moisturiser, having just that one step of hydration simply isn’t enough. Adding a serum into your skincare routine is a must if you want to fight off ageing and keep your face looking youthful and radiant for years to come. Because serums have smaller molecules than moisturisers, they can penetrate more deeply into the skin, allowing it to be more well-hydrated.

Here are 7 new serums in Singapore to try if you’re looking for fresh products to add to your daily regime.

Read on for these new serums in Singapore for 2021!

Basically, it’s a wicked combination of the benefits of both a toner and serum, which saves you time and money as you just need one product to cover two steps. No cotton pads are needed - just pat it directly onto your face using your hands.

Made using ingredients like Peach Juice, Argan Oil, Kudzu Root, and Ceramides, this serum is said to have a texture that’s “light as water” and can be used on its own or mixed with other products for added moisture.
