For as long as I can remember, I've combated oily skin and hormonal acne. Finding the "perfect" serum for my skin type felt like an endless search. That all changed when I tried the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum ($52). The oldie, but goodie classic, is hand down, the best product in my rotation. Every time I spend the night outside my house, this is the one thing I absolutely make sure to pack.

Every time I spend the night outside my house, this is the one thing I absolutely make sure to pack.

I initially found this serum by reading Sephora reviews (one of my favorite past times). I noticed a lot of customers were saying the gel texture was almost water-like, and that's what sold me. Throughout the years of my skin ups and downs, I realized my skin often didn't react well to thick, heavy creams, and they ended up breaking me out even more. I made the right choice, because my skin loves this serums lightweight consistency that instantly feels fresh and soothing.

It instantly soaks into my skin without feeling too thick or greasy. My face simply feels hydrated, light, and fresh every single time I use it. I apply it both morning and night, and for the last few years, I've suffered far fewer breakouts than ever before. I'm not sure I could ever live without it now. Keep reading to shop a few of the brand's other products that my skin also loves.
