Living in a tropical climate often means dealing with heat, humidity, and dehydration.

Skin can easily lose moisture throughout the day, which is why hydration-focused serums are a must-have. Here are three tried-and-true serums that help keep skin plump, refreshed, and comfortable no matter the weather.

Torriden Dive-In Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Skin type: Suitable for all

Texture: Lightweight gel

Best time to use: Night

Why it's great: Packed with hyaluronic acid, this serum delivers a burst of hydration that helps restore skin moisture overnight. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling refreshed without stickiness.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

Skin type: Works for all; sensitive skin should patch test first since it contains fragrance

Texture: Watery serum

Best time to use: Daytime

Why it's great: This is a generous 80ml bottle, making it excellent value for money. The green tea extract helps nourish and hydrate, leaving skin soft and balanced throughout the day.

IUNIK Beta-Glucan Moisture Serum

Skin type: Suitable for all

Texture: Lightweight gel

Best time to use: Day & night

Extra benefit: Supports skin barrier repair

Why it's great: Infused with beta-glucan, this serum not only locks in hydration but also strengthens the skin barrier, making it perfect for soothing stressed or sensitive skin.

Each of these serums has its own strengths—whether it's Torriden’s intense hydration, Innisfree's antioxidant-rich formula, or IUNI's barrier-healing benefits. They all deliver visible results, and the choice really depends on personal preference. Plus, they make thoughtful gifts for anyone who loves skincare!
