7 Face Serums for Dry Skin That Are Hydration Superheroes

Though serums have a lighter consistency than moisturizer, their concentrated ingredients make them a must-have for every skin type. If your skin is dry or dehydrated, serums can reintroduce lost moisture to create a dewy, hydrated complexion. Below, we’re sharing some of our editors’ favorite hydrating serums for dry skin that will keep your complexion moisturized year round.

This serum pulls triple duty as a serum, cream and sunscreen in one. Hyaluronic acid and watermelon work to re-plump skin and the fresh, juicy watermelon scent is a sweet bonus.

This powerhouse hydrator helps fortify skin and works to resist signs of aging. It leaves skin feeling plumped, dewy and prepped for the rest of your routine.

Lancôme's Génifique Anti-Aging Serum
