Splurge: Serum for Lifting
Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Firming Serum, $55

It's the plain truth that as we age, skin becomes less elastic. But firmness isn't just a sign of youth or a recent facelift -- keeping skin healthy and moisturized can help reverse this classic sign of aging. Ole Henriksen's serum contains collagen stimulators to rebuild firmness, while hyaluronic acid plumps up dry skin.

Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum, $23.99

The old saying "you can't fight gravity" was coined before today's innovations in skin care. Olay Regenerist has diehard fans who swear by the range for firmer skin. It's made with vitamin E for moisture and a host of peptides to plump up your skin. Since you can't just lift without toning, this serum also works to minimize fine wrinkles and fine lines.

Splurge: Serum for Acne
Clinique Acne Solutions Acne + Line Correcting Serum, $44.50

It's a cosmic joke that acne doesn't necessarily go away by the time we're old enough to start caring for wrinkles and fine lines. Skin can have its own identity crises -- are you a teenager or entering middle age? If you're noticing crow's feet and still dealing with hormonal acne (hand up right here!), Clinique's serum tackles both issues at once, formulated with pore-cleansing salicylic acid and anti-aging antioxidants and peptides.

Hyaluronic acid is dehydrated skin's best friend. Whether winter wind is bumming out your skin's barrier or you're naturally on the dry side, a little extra HA in your routine can go a long way. Pestle & Mortar can barely keep this nourishing serum on the shelves. Bonus: It's alcohol-free and 100 percent vegan.
