The 12 Best Serums for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, you’ve probably already tweaked your skincare routine to try to minimize oil, whether that means an oil-free moisturizer or a non-comedogenic sunscreen. But serums can be a little less straightforward. Serums are more targeted treatments, so while they can address oil itself, they can also tackle things like skin tone, acne, and fine lines—it just depends on what you and your skin are looking for.

o compile our list of the best face serums for oily skin—for every skin concern—we consulted board-certified dermatologists Nazanin Saedi, founder of Sobel Skin, Howard Sobel, and Kseniya Kobets, director of cosmetic dermatology at Montefiore Advanced Care, for their expert picks, and included some highly reviewed best-sellers as well. Read on to find the best face serum for your routine, and more tips from the trio of derms.

Aging is simply a part of life. However, it’s all too common to be in a state of shock when the first gray hair or wrinkle appears, seemingly out of nowhere. Questions like “When did this appear?” and “Now what do I do?” often arise. But, as you enter your forties and beyond, this initial shock becomes more familiar, and you begin to focus on what you can control. For many people, this means considering options like Botox or dermal fillers to address signs of aging, but for others, it can mean maintaining a healthy lifestyle, embracing self-care, and nurturing your skin with an intensive skin-care routine.

It’s worth noting that an increasing number of people, including celebrities like Courtney Cox and Kristin Davis, are choosing to dissolve their fillers and embrace their “natural” selves. This trend indicates a growing desire for a more authentic and less artificially-enhanced look (although, we stand by the idea that there’s no “wrong” way to go about this—you should ultimately do what makes you feel good).

It’s a face lift in a bottle! A filler alternative! Nature’s Botox! You’ve likely heard the eager testimonials or even seen the slogans slapped on product labels themselves.

In the beauty industry, these promising claims are often met with an eye roll—they’re hyperbolic at best, potentially problematic at worst. Even the most sophisticated topicals can rarely replicate the effects of a cosmetic procedure, so if one promises to manually lift the skin? Meh, likely folklore.

But the industry is constantly evolving, and right now marks an exciting time in the firming topical space. Recently, a slew of innovations has caught our attention: patented peptides, epidermal growth factor technologies, topical exosome therapies, and so on. And it turns out, their firming capabilities are not so far-fetched.

Scalp health is key to beautiful, thicker, and healthier hair.

You likely have a pretty curated hair care routine, with shampoos and conditioners selected to suit your type, texture, and color, an assortment of stylers, and a bevy of hot tools at your disposal. But do you have a scalp care regimen?

Despite the important role that the scalp plays, it often goes neglected, which can disrupt the delicate balance of the skin in this area. When your scalp’s microbiome isn’t functioning properly, hair won’t grow to its full potential, and can result in irritation, flakes, and plain discomfort.

Thankfully, beauty brands have taken note. Until recently, scalp care was almost exclusively focused on dandruff treatments, but there’s been a shift. Now, formulas are designed to maintain, soothe, nourish, clarify, and stimulate the scalp. There’s truly something for everyone — all you have to do is find your perfect match. Here, we’ve curated a selection of the best scalp treatments for every concern, plus tapped experts to break down exactly how to give this special skin precisely what it needs.

Dandruff vs Dry Scalp: Find Out Which One is Making You Itch — And How To Cure It

Notice unflattering chunks of white flakes sitting on your scalp or stuck between your strands? It’s bad enough when you see them, but it’s really embarrassing when those white flakes have fallen from your hair and landed on the shoulders of your black shirt. Not to mention the constant head scratching. Surprisingly, the scratching and the flakes are symptoms of two similar but very different scalp conditions: dandruff vs dry scalp. And while they appear almost identical, the reasons and the solutions are not the same.

Luckily, there’s no need to scratch your head (we couldn’t resist!) wondering which side you fall on in the game of dandruff vs scalp. Read on to discover the difference and the easy remedies for each.

A New Group Of Post-Injection Care Brands Is Looking To Improve The Experience Of Getting Botox And Fillers

Two years after Kylie Jenner got lip fillers in 2015, Nancy Trinh decided she’d replicate the beauty mogul and reality television star’s fuller lip look. She chose a fancy Beverly Hills plastic surgeon’s office she spotted on Yelp for the injections.

 

“I didn’t think to do any research or understand the risks involved,” she recalls. “After the procedure was finished, I was sent home with a leaky ice pack without aftercare instructions. On the drive home, I’m driving with one hand and the ice bag falls down next to my gas pedal. Obviously, I’m not putting that back onto my lips. The next day my bruises and swelling were insane and scared me.”

 

Frantic, Trinh searched online for remedies. Ice, arnica gel and bromelain supplements kept coming up. She was disappointed by them all. Arnica gel she purchased at a drugstore was full of alcohol that stung her skin. Supplements wouldn’t deliver immediate support. Ice wasn’t sufficient, and it was pretty slippery.

 

“I thought to myself, ‘If I need something better, other people do, too,’” says Trinh, an art director and graphic designer by trade. She set out to create something better and, in March, launched the brand with TAKE

(after)CARE, a $68 serum containing arnica, bromelain, hypochlorous acid and aloe intended to be applied 24 hours post-treatment.

As the largest organ of the body, the skin plays an important role in overall health. It provides protection against external factors, like bacteria and pollution, and can even heal itself. In short, it needs to be handled with care. From properly washing your skin to ensuring it’s adequately hydrated and moisturized, you become in tune to what it needs over time. However, your skin isn’t the same from head to toe. So caring for your scalp requires a different routine than what you’d follow for your face. Yes, shampoos wash it, and, sure, scrubs help slough off dead skin and product buildup, but it can benefit from concentrated treatments, too. That’s where scalp serums come into play.
