1. BY TERRY Liftessence Global Serum, $280.
A brilliant disguise for those signs of fatigue such as dullness and redness, this silky gel-like serum was created to rescue dehydrated stressed-looking skin; we use this under makeup when we are in need of an extra shot of moisture and a generous helping of luminosity.
2. La Prairie White Caviar Illuminating Pearl Infusion, $725.
This serum has brightening in mind the moment it hits your skin. A concentrated formula of golden caviar extract and oil soluble vitamin C with a heavy-weight melanin disruptor called Diglucosyl Gallic Acid (DGA) - and all those heavy-weight ingredients are encapsulated in a luminous pearly infusion - our skin looked brighter within a week.
3. Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-aging Daily Serum, $300.
Idebenone is the powerhouse antioxidant in this serum that protects skin from free radical damage - the sun, wind and pollution. So to that end, it works to correct fine lines, dark spots, and dullness, along with redness, and minor skin scars, helping to reduce the look of sun damage. You can expect results within eight weeks.
4. Shiseido Future Solutions LX Superior Radiance Serum, $465.
For anyone struggling with an uneven skin tone, brown spots and redness or noticeable open pores, this serum is brimming with natural ingredients such as a premium Matcha green tea, yeast extract and the enzyme from star fruit. But the reason we like the lightweight feel and texture is thanks to hybrid pearl extract that helps to purify and brighten skin giving a much-needed hit of hydration at the end of a busy day.
5. Osmosis Correct Serum, $141.
For anyone serious about correcting the look of sun damage and the first signs of ageing, this serum offers some interesting actives and antioxidants. From boosting collagen with growth factors and copper peptide, a mushroom extract to boost the immune system, and the star as far as we are concerned a form of retin A known as retinaldehyde, which at 0.5 percent is strong enough to make a change to the way skin looks, but is well-tolerated so as not to cause irritation - it's a keeper.
6 Environ Skincare Youth EssentiA Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 1,2,3, $250 (pictured here 3)
A powerful vitamin and antioxidant shot of ingredients such as A, C and E as well as peptides, this serum works in tandem to correct skin that is sporting dark spots and wrinkles. A low dose vitamin A serum 1 and 2 are designed to be used all-year-round, however, build up to serum 3 slowly or use it at night - we started to see a real change in the darkness of our pigmentation in one just month.
