Serums: The Most Overlooked Acne Products That Will Change Your Life

Take it from someone who's tried everything: Serums are an effective acne solution
If your breakouts also cause your skin to be sensitive to the touch and prone to redness, this gentle serum from Pevonia, jam-packed with blemish-control ingredients, might be your best bet. It's meant for problematic skin and contains both glycerin and leaf extracts, two gentle and soothing ingredients. If you're currently on an oral prescription for acne, pairing this serum with your regimen can help soothe the dryness.

It might seem counterproductive to add oil to the natural dew (read: oil) that most acne sufferers produce, but by using an product with essential oils like this one, you can actually deep clean your skin. With ylang ylang, sage, rosemary, lemon and lavender oils, this serum soothes and clarifies skin naturally.

The star ingredient in this gentle-but-effective acne serum is something you've likely heard of if you've spent any time Googling acne advice: salicylic acid.

When mixed with other hardworking, natural ingredients like cane sugar and marine plankton, this serum both hydrates and calms your pores, making them smaller and less prone to bacteria build-up. It's also a good addition to your normal moisturizing routine, since botanical extracts and essential oil ingredients offer a natural, nourishing approach to acne.

Rarely do people warn you about the sad truth of hormonal acne: Unlike other types of acne that disappear after puberty, hormonal acne can stick around until menopause.

If you're trying to prevent aging and clear your skin, this multitasking hyaluronic serum from Kerstin Florian is the one-two punch you're looking for. It helps to protect skin from free radicals, while also alleviating inflammation. The added proteins and botanicals will keep your skin looking youthful.

This small-but-mighty serum was created by derms and promises to improve your skin within three weeks of treatment. The natural approach to ingredients -- bee venom, honey and royal jelly, to name a few -- uses organic enzymes alongside hyaluronic acid and glucosamine to reduce inflammation and improve scarring. In the serum world, this price point isn't too shabby, either.
