I'm currently using Lancome's Genifique and I'm really liking it so far. It is rather pricy though.
I think I need to find a serum for acne prone combination skin, which is what I have.

Some interesting choices here, pays to read the ingredients of those pricier ones before committing to buy as they contain water and alcohol as first ingredients and fragrance. Companies need to learn to get rid of these problem ingredients that have no benefit to the skin at all, especially at that price.

I don't know why so many high end companies use so much alcohol in their products - not just skin care products but also foundations.

Great article, I love serum's as they are so light on the skin then cream's are. I'm glad to see Derma E is on this list.

I’m loving the Lancôme serum but I need to find the perfect one to help with my oily t zone. I love Ella Baché so I’ll be trying that one soon.

Love the recommendations! I've tried a few of them and I'd like to try the La Mer. You'd think for the price you'd get a great product, but that's always the question - "But is it worth it?"
