EMBRACE AUTUMN and give your complexion some extra TLC with a new serum. As the first step in your routine, a serum sets the tone for a glowing complexion—and this season’s oferings have something for every skin concern. If you’re feeling the efects of too much summer sun, kick of your regimen with a serum that provides a major boost of hydration with hyaluronic acid or a formula that brightens dark spots with niacinamide. Dealing with acne? Look for formulas with pimplefighting ingredients like salicylic acid and gluconolactone. For a natural option, try a honey-infused formula with 96 percent naturally derived ingredients. And if you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, don’t forget an overnight option with retinol. — Lora Grady
