Serums are an important step in your skincare routine — they contain different ingredients to target specific skin problems, giving you that wonderfully healthy glow. While many highly-raved serums on the market are pretty expensive, there are some serums (especially those from Korean skincare brands) that have been making rounds on social media for how effective and affordable they are.
To help you incorporate this essential step into your skincare routine without breaking the bank, here are 6 affordable Korean skincare serums that you can get in Singapore under S$15!
1. Elizavecca Witch Piggy Hell Pore Galactomyces Premium Ampoule
If your skin type is dull and you’re struggling with discolouration, try Elizavecca’s Witch Piggy Hell Pore Galactomyces Premium Ampoule — don’t be scared by the intimidating name, it’s actually a pretty simple product.
This Korean serum contains mainly galactomyces (a type of fungus that actually helps to repair and moisturise the skin), adenosine (an active ingredient to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines), and niacinamide.
Available on Shopee.
2. It’s Skin Power 10 Formula VE Effector with Vitamin E
Though it’s hardly mentioned as much as Vitamin C and other ingredients in skincare, Vitamin E is actually pretty important too. It’s vital in minimising sun-induced skin damage, which is a common problem (whether you know you’re suffering from it or not!) in a tropical and high UV index area like Singapore!
Formulated with Vitamin E derivatives, It’s Skin’s Power 10 Formula VE Effector with Vitamin E is an inexpensive way to incorporate this key ingredient into your skincare routine.
Available on iHerb.
3. 9Wishes Ampoule Serum Hydra
Hydration and moisture is key to achieving glowy looking glass skin — and 9Wishes’ Ampoule Serum Hydra is a no-frills way of adding more hydration into your skincare routine.
The product contains an array of hydration boosting ingredients like coconut water and many other natural, botanical extracts.
If you’re someone who prefers something a little more simple, this product is definitely one you’ll want to incorporate into your routine.
Available on Shopee.
4. Cos de BAHA Niacinamide
Cos de BAHA is one brand that I would liken to The Ordinary — their products are straightforward, inexpensive and they get the job done absolutely perfectly.
For those looking to minimise the appearance of those pesky pores as well as repair their skin barrier, Cos de BAHA’S Niacinamide serum does just that thanks to its main active ingredient.
Available on Shopee.
5. Cos de BAHA Vitamin C
Other than being cost-efficient and effective, Cos de BAHA’s products are also tested and approved by the Korean KFDA, which makes them extremely safe for use as well.
If you’re looking for a simple Vitamin C serum that gets its job done stat, definitely consider Cos de BAHA’s Vitamin C serum.
Available on Shopee.
6. Farmstay Dr V.8 Ampoule Solution Black Snail
Farmstay’s Dr V.8 Ampoule Solution Black Snail serum looks so luxurious that it almost reminds me of Estee Lauder’s Night Repair serum!
While it’s only a fraction of the price, this product is formulated with an adequate amount of ingredients that not only help to moisturise and nourish your skin, but also help to fight the signs of ageing.
Available on iHerb.
