Serums are the quiet achievers of your skincare routine—high-impact, low-effort, and designed to deliver real results. Unlike moisturizers, which focus on hydration and barrier support, serums are concentrated treatments formulated with active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin. Whether you’re targeting dullness, dehydration, inflammation, or visible aging, there’s a serum to meet you there.
Think of them as the tailored essentials in your skincare wardrobe—potent, precise, and made to work overtime. Below, we highlight the serums that have earned icon status at Rescue Spa. These formulas aren’t just loved—they’re relied on.
