10 Beauty Brands For The Best Face Oils & Serums Money Can Buy

True Frog only just went live a few months ago with their line of skincare products and we're already hearing great things about their Bakuchiol & Olive Squalane Face Oil for all skin types - tbh, our Founder & CEO is hooked too! Proudly calling it their "Magical Oil", this powerful formula had all of 4 ingredients - 99.9% bakuchiol with rosehip & marula in an olive squalane base. It lightens blemishes, evens out skin tone, and gives a non-greasy glow. It is recommended to be used at night, but it's so light, we love using it in the morning too!

Not giving you an introduction to Dr. Sheth's, because if you haven't already heard of this eco-conscious Indie skincare biggie, you're doing skincare wrong. Naturally, with the impressive repertoire comes multiple choices and so the brand has a bunch of face serums and oils for many targeted concerns. We've heard their Neem & BHA Spot Clarifying Serum (anti-acne and skin brightening) and Amla Vitamin C Serum (repair and tone) do great things. These are also paraben and sulfate-free formulas, most vegan too.

Another LBB tried-and-tested brand, Sadhev doesn't mess around with its luxurious ayurvedic formulas. Everybody who has made a purchase from here has raved about how good every product has been, so we went straight to looking for face serums and oils. We'd say it doesn't get any better than their  Kumkumadi Tailam with aloe and saffron that nourishes, rejuvenates, and promotes skin glow but you could also check out the Nalpamaradi Tailam with anti-inflammatory properties. Remember, a little goes a long way with Sadhev, showing results almost instantly.

Paraben-free, cruelty-free, and crafted to suit all skin types, Ilana Organics knows good skincare enough to put out a range of face oils and serums, their best-seller being the Good Skin Serum. And it does what it says, gives you good skin 365-days of the year! Unlike other formulas, this serum has lactobacillus ferment making an appearance with niacinamide and salicylic acid - all goodies for the skin! Ilana also has Brightening, Clarifying, Mighty Mulberry, and Phyto AHA + Ceramide Restore Serums in their kitty too. 

Arata, a brand that has taken social media by storm for its natural hair care, does things differently in the skincare department, especially face care, but just as effectively! Their face serums are actually disguised as creams and gels, we're assuming for all-day use and to minimise transfer. Currently, their Hydrating Face Serum with evening primrose rosehip and lavender oil (skin elasticity) and Restorative Face Serum Gel with aloe vera, turmeric, and matcha (renewed skin) are super-duper hits. The two also boast anti-aging benefits, so we're clearly sold!

Touted to be the country's first vegan and cruelty-free makeup brand, Disguise Cosmetics has also dipped their brushes into skincare, and since they know that one product is enough to do the trick, they have just one really good face oil. Say hello and proceed to massage on the Rainbow Glow Oil that gives you just that - a rainbow glow! This is also a daily rejuvenation oil that has 7 rainbow oils (almond, avocado, jojoba to name a few) and pomegranate extract to keep that face as happy as ever!

If you're too lazy to go through massaging many face serums all day or just before bed, BareAir's Night Serum with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, and mulberry extracts is your cheat treat. Just spray it on before bedtime, and wake up to skin that is revived and rejuvenated, without clogged pores or fine lines. This miracle in a bottle is also completely natural, paraben-free, and get this, anti-pollution, so basically it is immune to and helps fight off the terrible effects of pollution, just like BareAir's whole range. 

When the name of the brand says it all, there's little else left to say. But we will talk about the face oils and serums formulated to heal/repair/retain specific qualities from Natural Vibes, and important ones at that! Their Ayurvedic Beauty Oil, for example, comes with 24k gold flakes - it slows down aging and gives you a glow like no other. But what we love most, is that we can read and know exactly what the ingredients are in this bottle - natural vibes, you know? They also have a Tea Tree Skin Repair Serum, Vitamin C Skin Care Serum, an Anti-Ageing Nirvana Flower Night Face Oil, and a Gold Beauty Elixir Oil.

Trying not to make a fuss and give you only effective results with its two face serums is Ecocradle a sustainable, vegan, and handmade beauty and body care brand. We recommend using both, first the Anti-Wrinkle and Anti-Pigmentation serum with geranium and frankincense and the Anti-Acne & Dark Circles Serums with tea tree and basil. Together with working towards fighting these issues, these serums will moisturise that skin, so much that we hear you won't need a moisturiser to go with! Multipurpose products, that's what we like!

We love Trnatva's Ayurveda-inspired, pure and natural serums for being more niche than what's out there on the market. Like where else will you find an Anti-Wart and Dark Spots Facial Oil or Anti-Scar Facial Oil and a Coffee & Hemp Under Eye Serum? The best part is that these are handcrafted for all skin types and have been tried and tested over months to make sure they produce desired results. Take our money, Trnatva!

While you take care of your skin/face don't forget your hair - here are hair serums and oils to breathe some much-needed life into them!
