After months of battling dry winds, central heating, and flaky textures, my skin was practically begging for a refresh. Spring, for me, isn’t just a wardrobe change — it’s a full-on skincare shift. And if there’s one thing I always reach for to revive my skin and bring back its glow, it’s a serum.
Below are the formulas I’ve personally tested and loved — they’re brightening, calming, hydrating, and just the right prep before summer rolls in. Call it a skin reset or a pre-glow strategy — these are my go-tos this season.

URIAGE Bariéderm-Cica Daily Serum
This one’s been a saviour for those “my skin feels off” days. It’s barrier-boosting and redness-reducing, perfect for post-winter sensitivity. I’ve been using it after cleansing, especially on days when my face feels reactive or tight. With Centella and Uriage’s famous Thermal Water, it acts like a reset button — gentle but incredibly effective.
AHAVA Crystal Osmoter™ X6 Serum
A luxury I always return to. This serum is mineral-charged and gives you that did-she-just-get-back-from-vacation? kind of glow. AHAVA’s Osmoter complex is legendary, and this version is six times more concentrated — which means serious hydration and radiance. I love applying it at night and waking up to plumper, more luminous skin.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule
This K-beauty gem feels like a hidden treasure. It’s filled with brightening capsules that melt into the skin, leaving behind a soft, radiant finish. I use it on days when I want to fake the whole “glass skin” look — and it works. It layers beautifully under SPF and makeup, and the texture is lightweight enough for daily use.
MARIO BADESCU Clarifying Serum with Azelaic Acid
My answer to breakouts, dullness, and uneven tone — all at once. Azelaic Acid has been a game-changer in my routine, and this formula from Mario Badescu is both effective and gentle. It’s great for those transition periods when your skin doesn’t know if it wants to break out or behave. I use it in the evenings a few times a week and always notice how much calmer my complexion looks.
You can find all these products at Aloe Pharm & Beauty pharmacies. They've earned their place in my spring skincare rotation — and maybe yours too. Here’s to brighter days — and even brighter skin.
