Budget skincare: 5 serums under $35

You will be hard-pressed to find a dermatologist who does not support serums. These formulas are often lighter than moisturizers but still pack a punch thanks to highly concentrated ingredients. In fact, serums are so popular these days that you can probably find one that will help you with any of your skin concerns, be it dryness, wrinkles, or lack of radiance. All this is great news, but the most interesting thing is that most serums come with a price... and a lot. Fortunately, there are exceptions to this rule. Are you looking for an affordable serum that doesn't skimp on quality and potency? You have come to the right place. Ahead, we'll share five serums from L'Oreal's portfolio of brands that can provide the benefits you're looking for without digging a hole in your wallet. Heck, some of these purchases can cost even less than you would normally spend on lunch. Guys and girls on a budget, this is for you!

L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Advanced Skin Repair Daily Serum

Anxiety: Signs of aging

As women mature, their skin is gradually depleted of essential nutrients. What's more, with years of environmental exposure—think UV rays—skin can become dull, dry, and lose its firmness. Does it look like the reality of your skin? Try this revolutionary serum. Enriched with biopeptides and firming ceramides, the formula repairs signs of past damage and aging, evens out skin tone for a more natural and radiant complexion, and instantly restores skin's protective moisture barrier for intense hydration.

L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Advanced Skin Repair Daily Serum MSRP $19.99.

Garnier Ultra-Lift 2-in-1 Serum + Moisturizer

Anxiety: Signs of aging

A great way to save money on skincare? Whenever possible, favor multi-purpose products. Instead of buying a separate serum and moisturizer, combine both benefits into one with this affordable 2-in-1 formula - with Pro-Retinol - that combines the exact amount of concentrated serum and daily moisturizer. Just one simple step to improve skin elasticity and smooth wrinkles!

IT Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum

Problems: Dryness, signs of aging

Speaking of dual-use products, why just moisturize your lips when you can hydrate them AND give them a fresh color? We can't think of a good reason! Get CC+ Lip Serum, a color-correcting liquid lip cream formulated with anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides, as well as essential oils and oils. Result?

The Body Shop Night Serum-in-Oil with Vitamin E

Anxiety: Lack of moisture

Consuming the right amount of Zzz per night is important for the overall appearance of your skin. If your skin doesn't have the ability to repair and repair itself during deep sleep, these are most likely signs of aging, lethargy, and a "tired look." While there is no product that can replace the healthy sleep you need, there are formulas that can help your skin look more rested in the morning. Is it a point? This is a non-greasy serum-in-oil from The Body Shop. Apply it on your skin before bed to infuse your skin with moisture throughout the night.
