Finding the best face serum depends on your skin type and concerns. For anti-aging, look for serums with retinol or hyaluronic acid. For brightening, vitamin C serums can be highly effective. If you have sensitive skin, opt for serums with soothing ingredients like niacinamide. Always patch-test a new product and consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.
