The skincare aisle in your local drugstore and supermarket can surprise with just how much variety they have. Because aside from basics like cleansers and moisturizers, you can also find some upgraded skin essentials such as serums. Ahead, we round up some formulas you should definitely keep your eyes peeled for on your next trip out of the house for essentials:
1. Celeteque DermoScience Advanced Anti-Aging Pore Tightening Serum
This serum has retinol, which helps reduce dark spots and smoothen wrinkles. Its other skin-lightening ingredients include Artemisia capillaris extract and rose hip seed oil. There's also vitamin E in this mix to help protect skin from free radicals.

2. Olay Total Effects 7 In One Anti-Aging Serum
If you need a well-rounded serum that addresses everything from dull skin, dark spots, to signs of aging, then this is the serum to try. You might even be tempted to skip moisturizer.
OLAY Total Effects 7 In One Anti-Aging Serum, P863 on Shopee and P874.67 on Lazada
3. L'Oréal Revitalift Laser Renew Anti-Ageing Super Serum Triple Action
You'll be surprised that some drugstores carry potent age-defying formulas like this one from L'Oréal, which boasts of Pro-Xylane, a skin-plumping ingredient that helps prevent fine lines.

4. Human Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil Luxe
While it's technically a face and body oil, we love using this all-natural product as a serum to treat severely dry skin. With only two ingredients (sunflower oil and rose oil), it can help lock in moisture and give you a luminous sheen.

5. Garnier Serum Mask Hydra Bomb
Take your pick from four variants of Serum Mask Hydra Bomb: Green Tea (purifying), Pure Charcoal (pore-tightening), and Lemon (brightening). We won't blame you for picking up one sheet for every day of the week.

Despite its lightweight texture, this serum is actually packed with vitamins and amino-peptides that can help improve your skin's elasticity and firmness for a youthful glow.
