I‘ve fallen in love with incorporating facial serums in my daily skin routine. Facial serums, in a nutshell, are used to help your skin retain moisture. You can use them day or night, after you wash your face, before applying your moisturizer.

I have been using alllll of these serums in super rotation for the last few months now. I usually put them to work during my night routine, only because my skin is already combo/oily and I don’t necessarily need any extra “dew” during the day. But I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how clear my skin has been getting along with my dark spots fading away even more.
Hey Mckenzie,
I wanted to introduce you to two of my favorite serums by Vivant Skin Care. Spin Trap Antioxidant Serum with vitamin C & E. I love using this in the morning to maintain a fresh glow throughout my day. My other favorite go-to is the brand’s 8% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 serum. Not sure if you know about mandelic acid but the ingredient is like the holy grail for darker skin tones and helps correct uneven pigment. I use this serum for my night regimen.
