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 like 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 Advanced Anti-Aging Pore Tightening Serum
This serum helps improve firmness, balances oil production, and gently exfoliate the skin with a combination of niacinamide, alpha-lipoic acid, and salicylic acid. It's perfect for oily and acne-prone skin in the summer!

4. L'Oréal Revitalift Laser X3 Anti-Aging Serum
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.

5. 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.
