What’s a good hydrating serum that I can substitute for a moisturizer?

Hydrating serums are great and you have some good suggestions below, @lalliboo but I'd also recommend that you find a lightweight moisturizer that works for your skin. A hydrating serum just doesn't replace actual moisturizer when it comes to keeping your skin's moisture barrier balanced. It can take trial and error to see what specific ingredients break you out, but here are a few options that have worked for my acne-prone skin: CosRX Oil-Free Moisturizing Lotion, OLEHENRIKSEN - Sheer Transformation® Perfecting Moisturizer, BELIF - The True Cream Aqua Bomb, CAUDALIE - Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet, Benton Snail Bee Steam Cream, Etude House Moistfull Collagen

I’ve become a big fan of Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Hyaluronate Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL.

@lalliboo  Hi! I personally would never say to use a serum in place of a moisturizer. BUT- I can recommend a few based on your request.  The below moisturizers are not heavy at all and will still leave your skin feeling refreshed.

TATCHA - The Water Cream

JOSIE MARAN - 100 percent Pure Argan OilThis is an oil and absorbs quickly- Can be used as a moisturizer. I included the light as an option as well.

OLEHENRIKSEN C-Rush™ Vitamin C Gel Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL
