If cleansers, toners and moisturizers are the basics of skin care, then serums, oils and concentrates are the high-level superstars. Building on the simple skin care routine, serums, oils and concentrates add the powerful steps your complexion needs to optimize its health. They deliver potent benefits directly to the skin by correcting concerns, nourishing the skin and boosting hydration.

With the wide variety of products available, you want to pinpoint the best serum, oil or concentrate to target your skin concerns. Here’s a handy guide to help you choose the best one for your unique complexion.

Serums, Oils & Concentrates | Oils, Serums & Concentrates By Skin Type | By Skin Concern Or Condition | Layering Serums 101 

Serums, Oils & Concentrates

First things first: What are the differences between serums, oils and concentrates?

Serums

Serums are lightweight treatments brimming with a high concentration of active ingredients that target specific skin conditions and concerns. They are fast-absorbing and penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering potent skin-restoring and hydration-boosting ingredients. Serums have a light fluid or gel-like consistency and should be applied after cleansing and toning.

Oils

Oils are chock full of essential fatty acids and lipids that restore the skin’s moisture barrier. They are often composed of plant oils like jojoba, rosehip or seabuckthorn, which are rich in antioxidants and replenishing emollients. Facial oils can be beneficial for all skin types (even oily) and should be applied as the final step before a moisturizer.

Concentrates

Concentrates are similar to serums in that they contain — you guessed it — a concentrated amount of active ingredients. Unlike serums, which have a gel-like consistency, concentrates are lightweight lotions with both absorbent and protective qualities. Because of this versatility, they can be layered with serums and moisturizers, or simply used on their own.

Read on for the best oil, serum and concentrate for your particular skin type and concerns.

Oils, Serums & Concentrates By Skin Type

Your skin type comes down to genetics. Your genes determine the amount of oil secreted by your sebaceous glands, the size of your pores and the texture of your skin. Each of these factors contributes to the dryness — or oiliness — of your complexion and, in turn, dictates how your skin looks, feels and behaves. Your skin type cannot be changed, but it can be managed with active ingredients that are beneficial for your complexion.

Normal Skin

Normal skin can best be described as “well-balanced”: It has even sebum production and moisture content. According to Dermascope, “Normal skin displays a smooth texture and rosy, clear surface, with fine pores. There are no visible blemishes, greasy patches or flaky areas.”

All skin can benefit from potent antioxidants that can improve the visible signs of aging. We recommend the Eight Greens Youth Serum to protect skin from the drying and aging effects of environmental stressors like pollution, blue-light and UV rays.

Dry Skin

Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin. This skin type lacks the lipid and oil production needed to retain moisture (which is what gives skin its soft and supple feel) and therefore appears tight, flaky and dull. Those with dry skin often have nearly invisible pores and display more prominent visible signs of aging.

Oils are the perfect addition to a dry skin routine. These treatments are composed of essential fatty acids and ingredients that boost skin’s hydration and moisture. We recommend our Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil and our Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil. The Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil contains camellia oil, pink tourmaline gemstones and marula oil to hydrate and soften the appearance of the skin. The Rosehip Triple C+E Firming oil contains rosehip, jojoba and seabuckthorn oil to improve moisture, soothe dry skin and fight the visible signs of aging. The Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil was even voted “Favorite Face Oil” in the 2024 NewBeauty Readers’ Choice Awards!

The travel size of the Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil can be found in the Limited Edition Essential Serum Trio Gift Set alongside the Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum and Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum. Try each individually to reap its unique benefits or layer all three serums for luxuriously smooth, bright and healthy-looking skin. 

Watch below for a demonstration of how to use the Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil is essential for intense hydration and protection. 

Combination Skin

Combination skin is neither oily nor dry; it’s both. This skin type is characterized by non-uniform oil production: more active oil glands in the T-zone and less active oil glands elsewhere. As a result, it tends towards oiliness on the forehead, jaw and nose, and dryness on the cheeks, jawline and hairline.

Believe it or not, combination skin can benefit from our Cornflower Recovery Serum. This serum is enriched with results-driven, Biodynamic® ingredients like cornflower and chamomile to calm and soothe dryness.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is caused by a genetic predisposition to skin sensitivity and irritation. According to the Eminence Organics Product Support Team, it is typically described as “skin that endures the regular occurrence of unpleasant sensations such as heat, stinging, burning and tingling caused by forms of stimulation that wouldn’t normally create this type of reaction in a ‘normal’ skin type.”

If your skin is the sensitive type, opt for a gentle treatment like the Facial Recovery Oil, infused with clary sage oil and ylang ylang to keep skin looking even and perfectly balanced. 

Oily Skin

The opposite of dry skin, oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands. These produce an excess of oil which enlarges pores as well as coats the skin’s surface. For this reason, oily skin is often shiny and can be prone to breakouts due to blocked pores.

For oily skin, we recommend a lightweight option like the Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum. This fast-absorbing advanced serum immediately sinks into the skin to deliver potent antioxidant and vitamin-rich ingredients. We explore this serum in depth below.

By Skin Concern Or Condition

You may struggle with a skin concern or condition on top of your general skin type. Skin conditions are influenced by various internal and external factors such as hormonal changes, lifestyle choices and environmental stressors. Unlike skin types, they can be changed and treated, and it is not uncommon to tackle more than one at a time (for example, breakouts as well as an uneven skin tone).

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

As we age, intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to a depletion of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen in the skin. These materials are essential for a plump and firm complexion and, as they diminish, skin begins to sag and fine lines and wrinkles start to set in.

When it comes to wrinkles, you’ll want to add vitamin C into your skin care arsenal. This vitamin helps improve the appearance of skin exposed to environmental stressors such as UV rays and pollution.

Formulated with vitamin C, the fast-absorbing Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone. Vitamin E and leafy greens such as kale and spinach provide additional support for your skin — you may notice a brighter appearance in your complexion and an improvement in the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Learn more about what a serum does here, or the correct amount to apply here. Otherwise, you can learn all about the effects of free radicals and oxidation on the visible signs of aging by watching this In The Mix video demonstration:

In addition to vitamin C, you can counteract the visible signs of aging with skin care reinforced with botanical peptides and natural retinol alternatives. Our Marine Flower Peptide Serum delivers concentrated plant peptides to plump skin and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. The Bamboo Firming Fluid is infused with a Natural Retinol Alternative Complex derived from chicory root and tara tree to improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity.

Uneven Skin Tone

Do you struggle with dark spots? Whether from sun damage, hormonal changes or bouts of acne, hyperpigmentation can be tricky to tackle. When your skin is exposed to stressors, it protects itself by going into overdrive and releasing melanin – a type of pigment in the skin. The result: dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Before you reach for hydroquinone, try a natural alternative. Our Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum contains bearberry and licorice root extracts, tara tree, African potato and Swiss Alpine Plant Extracts to improve the appearance of dark spots.

Large Pores

Large pores are a common skin concern. While everyone has visible pores, some naturally produce more oil, causing them to stretch and enlarge. Pore size can also increase with age as skin loses its elasticity and ability to “bounce back.”

You can’t “get rid of” pores, but you can shrink them down to size. Our Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate includes a lactic acid (an AHA), ribose and red clover flower extract to remove pore-clogging buildup and minimize pore size.

Breakouts

Up to 85% of Americans report having experienced acne-related symptoms at some point in life. Whether you tackle tiny whiteheads or painful cysts, acne is treatable and you can find relief. We recommend adding the Clear Skin Willow Bark Booster-Serum to your skin care routine. This concentrated serum is infused with willow bark and tea tree oil to improve the look of breakouts and problem skin.

Dehydration

Dryness and dehydration are two separate skin care issues. While dryness pertains to a dry skin type and is characterized by a lack of moisture (sebum), dehydration is a skin condition that is caused by insufficient hydration (water). Dehydrated skin often suffers from itchy patches, increased sensitivity, inadequate skin cell turnover and accelerated signs of aging.

Hyaluronic acid is a miracle worker for dehydrated skin. Our product pick is the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum, which is infused with our Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Complex designed to deeply hydrate the skin and replenish moisture.

As expert esthetician Brian Goodwin tells us: “Hyaluronic acid is a skin essential that provides hydration and protection. Our Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Complex restores deep hydration for radiant looking skin.”

Dinner ready in 20 minutes! These buffalo chicken flatbread pizzas are so easy to make for a weeknight dinner when you’re in a pinch for time. The flatbreads are topped with ranch dressing, shredded rotisserie chicken mixed with Buffalo sauce, bell pepper, cheese, and green onion. Perfect for a game day appetizer or quick weeknight meal!

Why this is going to be your new favorite flatbread!

Dinner on your table in 20 minutes. Need I say more??

Okay, I will. I’m all about creating delicious, filling meals that can be made when you’re in a pinch for time.

And as a mom to a toddler and business owner, that feels like all the time for me. So easy flatbread meals like this pizza that can be easily whipped together on a weeknight are a savior.

Plus, I love anything buffalo flavored. Proof includes my Buffalo Cauliflower Dip, Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza, and Buffalo Cauliflower Wings.

Did you know I’m originally from Buffalo, NY, home of the buffalo chicken wings?! So I hold myself to very high standards on all Buffalo flavored recipes :).

And Frank’s hot sauce is my unwavering go-to for Buffalo sauce (ask anyone from Buffalo, NY and they’ll tell you the same thing). It’s totally worth looking for it if you’ve never cooked with it before. It will make this flatbread recipe 10x more delicious!

I love this quick pizza recipe for a weeknight meal but I also really enjoy it for a game day appetizer or meal. You can easily make this during halftime so you don’t have to miss any of the game.

As a registered dietitian, I’m all about repurposing leftovers to save on food waste and this is a great recipe to make if you have leftover chicken that you’re looking to transform into a new meal! But if you don’t have any leftover chicken, I love using rotisserie chicken because it’s one less step!

Crispy, crunchy, cheesy, spicy, this chicken flatbread has all the components you’d want. And be sure to drizzle some extra ranch on top for good measure!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Notes on Ingredients:

flatbread: I used a long flatbread as the base – it was about 15 ounces for two flatbreads but you could also use naan bread, pita, or premade pizza crust as the base.

rotisserie chicken: precooked chicken is a big time saver! Simply shred and you’re good to go! You could also use leftover chicken or cook some fresh.

Frank’s hot sauce: this is hands down my favorite buffalo sauce and the one I always use but you could use any Buffalo flavored hot sauce that you like

onion powder: gives the chicken a zesty, sharp flavor boost

garlic powder: gives the chicken a garlicky flavor boost

salt: enhances and helps meld all the flavors for the chicken

bell pepper: adds a pop of color, satisfying crunch, and veggie to the dish

ranch dressing: serves as the sauce base for the pizza, adding some tangy flavor, and used for a finishing drizzle

mozzarella cheese: adds a creamy, richness to the pizza

crumbled blue cheese: adds a sharp, tangy flavor to the pizza. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, simply omit!

green onion: adds a fresh mild onion taste with subtle hints of garlic

How to make Buffalo Chicken Flatbread

Preheat oven. Preheat to 450 degrees if using a pizza stone and 425 degrees F if using a baking sheet.

Prepare chicken. Mix together chicken, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.

Prepare flatbread. Brush flatbread with ranch dressing. Evenly distribute buffalo chicken and green peppers over flatbreads.

Get cheesy. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and crumbled blue over top along with green onions.

Bake baby. If using a pizza stone, bake at 450 degrees until golden-brown and cheese is bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. If using a baking sheet, bake at 425 degrees for about 5-8 minutes. Check flatbread manufacturer’s instructions for recommended baking times.

Cool ranch. Let flatbreads cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Drizzle with ranch dressing!

Expert Tips!

You can use any type of flatbread for this recipe – I used a 15 ounce package of two long flatbreads for this recipe but you could also use naan bread, pita bread, or premade pizza crust! If you use naan bread or pita, which is smaller, you’ll be making more than two flatbreads.

This is a great recipe to repurpose leftover chicken! Simply shred and you’re on your way.

If you like extra heat, drizzle extra Frank’s hot sauce over the pizza once it’s baked.

Storage and Preparation

This chicken flatbread can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

This recipe can also be stored in the freezer in an airtight bag or container for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

To reheat, set oven temperature to 425 degrees F and heat for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted or place in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Flaky, tight and irritated skin is never fun. To soothe these symptoms, you’ll need to address the root cause. Dehydrated skin can be a persistent challenge, affecting everyone regardless of their natural skin type. Unlike dry skin, which consistently lacks oil, dehydrated skin is defined by insufficient water content, resulting in a complexion that looks dull, feels tight and is more prone to irritation. This lack of moisture doesn’t just stop at surface-level discomfort — it can also accentuate fine lines and heighten skin sensitivity, making it crucial to address the underlying causes and seek effective hydrating skin care treatments.

If you’re dealing with dehydrated skin, you’ll want to explore hydrating masks that add moisture back into the skin. These are the best Eminence Organic Skin Care hydrating masks that are thoughtfully formulated to improve the most irritating symptoms of dehydration.

Key Takeaways: Hydrating Masks for Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated Skin vs. Dry Skin: Dehydrated skin lacks water, while dry skin lacks oil. Understanding this distinction is key to selecting the right skincare treatments.
Signs of Dehydrated Skin: Common signs include tightness, dullness, flaky patches, sensitivity and more pronounced fine lines. You’ll know it’s dehydration and not dryness if this is different from your skin’s normal state.  
Key Ingredients for Hydration: Look for masks that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera and botanicals, like snow mushroom extract, which help draw and lock moisture into the skin.
All Skin Types Can Be Dehydrated: Even oily or combination skin can suffer from dehydration. Dry skin can also experience dehydration on top of regular dryness. Using hydrating masks can help balance oil production by replenishing lost moisture.

Do You Have Dehydrated Skin? Spot The Signs

Well-hydrated skin is essential for a healthy, radiant complexion. But, various factors like environmental stressors, lifestyle habits and skin care mishaps can disrupt your skin’s moisture balance. Recognizing the signs of dehydration early on can help you take the necessary steps to restore and maintain your skin’s vitality. Here are some key indicators to watch for:

Dull Complexion: Dehydrated skin often appears lackluster and lacks the vibrant glow associated with well-hydrated skin. 
Tightness and Discomfort: A persistent feeling of tightness, especially after cleansing, is a telltale sign. This sensation is a direct result of insufficient moisture in the epidermis.
Visible Fine Lines: Temporary fine lines may become more pronounced when the skin is dehydrated. A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that adequate hydration can significantly reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
Increased Sensitivity: Dehydrated skin is more prone to irritation and redness. In fact, moisture-deficient skin is less resilient against environmental aggressors, leading to heightened sensitivity. 

How many of these skin characteristics do you have? If this is you, keep reading to learn what may be causing it. 

What Causes Dehydrated Skin?

Environmental Stressors

Several factors can lead to dehydrated skin, including your environment. Dry air, climate, heating or air conditioning can strip moisture from your skin, particularly when indoors. Using a humidifier in these environments can help add moisture back into the air, preventing your skin from drying out. 

Our skin is constantly battling the elements, and exposure to extreme weather conditions can significantly impact its moisture levels. Harsh winds can strip away the skin’s natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and tight. Intense sunlight not only dehydrates the skin but also damages its protective barrier, increasing the risk of premature aging and sun damage to skin. Additionally, high pollution levels introduce harmful particles that clog pores and accelerate moisture loss, making the skin appear dull and lifeless.

Overuse of Skin Care Products

Incorporating active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids into your routine can offer significant benefits, such as enhancing skin texture and promoting cell turnover. But these formulations are intensive, and excessive use may disrupt the skin’s natural moisture balance. To prevent dehydration, it’s important to use these ingredients thoughtfully and in moderation, ensuring your skin remains balanced.

Aging

As we age, our skin naturally loses some of its ability to retain moisture. This decline is primarily due to decreased natural production of essential moisturizing factors like hyaluronic acid, which helps keep the skin plump and hydrated. Additionally, slower cell turnover means that new, hydrated skin cells that replace older ones emerge at a reduced rate, making it harder for the skin to maintain its moisture balance. Targeted treatments, like hydrating masks, can help replenish lost moisture, keeping mature skin looking youthful and radiant.
