ELLE TOP: The Ultra-Hydrating Serums We Love
These hydrating serums will nourish your skin while multiplying the benefits of your other skincare goodies.
A good skincare routine unquestionably includes hydrating serums. These products contain active ingredients such as vitamins and antioxidants that deeply penetrate the skin, all the while boosting the positive effects of your other skincare staples. During the colder months, when the skin tends to become dry and dull, a serum is an absolute essential as it multiplies the efficiency of your hydrating cream. Here is a list of our favourite hydrating serums, ready to take their rightful place on your bathroom shelf.
Hydra-Essentiel Bi-phase Serum, Clarins
With skin-quenching organic leaf of life extract —a succulent plant that enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture— this serum leaves the skin plump, radiant and perfectly hydrated.
$59. Clarins.ca
Vinosource S.O.S Thirst-Quenching Serum, Caudalie
This Caudalie bestseller captures and diffuses water to restore the skin’s moisture barrier, leaving it supple and fresh. The SOS solution is also formulated with organic grape water to stimulate the skin’s internal hydrating mechanism.
