serum/moisturizer for hot/humid weather

playitlou · ‎03-22-2018

Hello all! ISO a serum/moisturizer that is not greasy, tacky, sticky. Hot and humid here in Virginia and everything moisturizer-wise I've tried on my face feels nasty. Does a product even exist that will absorb quickly and leave my skin looking and feeling like silk? Suggestions appreciated!

There are several serums that are what you're looking for, I don't find any actually that do not absorb into the skin. Moisturizers; however are a different story.

Algenist is a great, light-weight serum. Dr. Dennis Gross's ferulic acid serum is great as well. Although these are pricey, even pricier but you may really like are Perricone's cold plasma products - these suspensions are simply serums in a different form and are EXTREMELY light-weight.

I use Adrian Arpells 5 in 1 moisturizer, and I really like it. It's not expensive, nor is it greasy. I use it year round

I swear by Dr. Denese slin care products. Hydroshield Serum abosrbs instantly and you only need a few drops. Josie Maran's Argan Oil works well also. I have sensitive skin with allergies and issue and am 50+ and holding. Hydroshield is my first choice.

Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. Been using for years now. During the colder months, I use the lotion version of the same product. Go to the Clinique counter and get a free sample to try.

What do you want the serum to do? Hydrate, birghten, prevent fine lines?

It's hot and humid where I am and I'm not running into this issue right now.

I'm using a K-beauty Essence called Hyaluron Skin Essence by Hanskin. Over that, I use my Dr Dennis Gross Ferulic Acid and Retinol serum.

My moisturizer right now is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, which I got in a value set.

My current sunscreen is Red Pearlsation UV Protection City Defencer SPF50+, by Klavuu, which I am loving. I hate wearing sunscreen and have found a lot of the Korean and Japanese sunscreens to feel better than the US sunscreens.

I like the Neutrogena Hydroboost Water Gel, and Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb. They are pretty similar-- light weight and hydrating. I also like the Origin GinZing Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer. These are my summer go to moisturizers.

I'm in Maryland and my combination skin loves Radha Beauty Vitamin C Serum with Retinol, and their Retinol Moisturizer. Works great, not greasy, luxurious feel, and cruelty free. No scent either if that is important to you.
