Rosacea, psoriasis, begone!
We’ve all been excited to try a new serum, cream, or lotion that claims to solve all of our skincare woes, only to find it actually irritates our skin instead of soothing it. Those of us with sensitive skin know the struggle well — Katie included. This concern can make finding a product that addresses things like fine lines or hyperpigmentation feel more intimidating than it already is.
bareMinerals, the company that introduced mineral makeup to the masses back in 1995, has since branched out from beauty to something true to its mission: skincare that actually helps your skin look and feel its best. Those who wear and love the brand’s easy-on-the-face makeup (Katie’s personal favorite is the Pure Serum Foundation) can guess this new launch is a godsend.
The brand just dropped three serums, all of which are safe for reactive skin types (including those who struggle with rosacea and psoriasis). Backed by 10 years of research, each variation was tested and vetted by dermatologists and ophthalmologists and responsibly made, created from vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. According to the glowing reviews that continue to trickle in, the serums deliver visible results within a week of use, and the benefits keep coming with regular application.
Since your skin is uniquely yours, bareMinerals created formulas that address different skin concerns, from fine lines to dryness to dullness. These formulas are easy to incorporate into any skincare routine: Simply apply the serum to clean skin (morning and night), wait five minutes for it to sink in, and move on with the rest of your routine as you would normally.
Not sure which BareMinerals serum is right for you? Here’s a breakdown:
bareMinerals Skin Rescue Pure Smooth Serum

Chebula and niacinamide work together in this formula to help plump skin, lighten dark spots, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, even around the eyes. This gentle formula is unlikely to cause breakouts or redness, and it actually works to repair the skin barrier and hydrate it while helping it appear more youthful. Reviewers say they notice softer, smoother skin after about a week’s use, and they don’t feel any greasy or sticky residue after applying it. “My complexion looks radiant and refreshed, as if I had just stepped out of a spa,” one reviewer says.

Do you have dark spots and discoloration lingering weeks after popping a zit? Incorporating a concentrated vitamin C serum like this one may help. Vitamin C and rainbow seaweed team up to fade hyperpigmentation while adding moisture and radiance back into the skin. Users saw significant improvement in their overall complexion after about a month’s use, stating they had bright, glowy skin and an overall improved texture.
bareMinerals Skin Rescue Pure Moisture Serum
Ulta
An extra dose of hydration never hurts, especially when your skin is overworked by harsh active ingredients like retinol or chemical exfoliants. Repair your skin barrier with this serum, made with plant algae and PGA (polyglutamic acid, a powerful humectant), which work together to improve hydration in under 24 hours. Some reviewers said they actually used this in place of a moisturizer in the morning, while others with super dry skin used it in tandem with their favorite cream for an added boost.
