Top 10 Serum-Infused Foundations

WHO IT'S FOR
Westman Atelier's Vital Skincare Dewy Foundation Drops are packed with ingredients great for all skin types but especially for those with mature skin. The potent skincare blend includes ginseng extract, pomegranate extract, and Tsubaki oil, which is cold-pressed from a Japanese Camelia and known for it firming and re-texturizing benefits.  

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The complexion-boosting drops glide across your skin like a lightweight oil that transforms into a cushiony serum, which in turn provides a lasting fresh-face radiance.

WHO IT'S FOR
Yensa Super Serum Silk Foundation is another great serum foundation for aging skin. The full-coverage foundation glides on with ease and is formulated to brighten and even out your skin tone while keeping the signs of aging at bay. Packed with Vitamin C to brighten skin, bakuchiol to increase skin's elasticity, and ferulic acid to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles, it's no surprise that this luxurious serum formula is a hit for women over 50.

USER REVIEW
"I've tried too many foundations and I finally found the one! This foundation gives impeccable coverage but my skin can breathe and I look natural. This feels nourishing and the finish is absolutely perfect - not too dewy and yet not too matte. The skincare and science ingredients is a major benefit. This is my go to for life!" 

WHAT IT DOES
If you’re looking for a lightweight, buildable serum foundation, add Perricone MD’s No Makeup Foundation to your shortlist. Meant to leave you with a semi-matte finish, this foundation combines color-correcting superpowers with the ability to smooth over uneven tones and imperfections.

NOTEWORTHY INGREDIENTS
Foundation that's good for your skin? Please and thank you. The lineup of supplements behind this foundation includes wrinkle-fighting neuropeptides, a skin-brightening antioxidant called bisabolol, and daisy flower extract (which is known to even out skin tone).

WHAT IT DOES
The Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint Foundation has a few tricks up its sleeve. For starters, it plumps fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in tighter, firmer skin. But more importantly, it provides glowy, all-over coverage while protecting your skin from harmful UVA rays.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
Shoppers say that this is one of the best serum foundations for aging skin, likely due to Hourglass’s Hyaluronan Complex (an advanced form of hyaluronic acid) in the formula.

WHAT IT DOES
This full-coverage, weightless liquid foundation promises to deliver a smooth complexion with a satin matte finish. And because it has an oil-free formula, it’s one of the best serum foundations for those with combination or oily skin types. 

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Clinique really said “We’re going to make a foundation that looks like skin,” and somehow, they were successful. Plus, they made this miracle product available in 42 different skin tones, so your chances of finding the perfect match are pretty good.

WHAT IT DOES
In addition to offering ample protection from the sun due to the inclusion of SPF 50 in the formula, L'Oreal Paris’s Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation provides lightweight coverage and all-day hydration.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
What’s interesting about this product is that it’s as much of a face sunscreen as it is a foundation. It lives somewhere on the spectrum between tinted moisturizer and face sunscreen, which makes it a fantastic option for those with a mature skin type looking for an everyday foundation. 

WHAT IT DOES
We love a top-rated beauty product you can pick up at your local Target, which is exactly what No7’s Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation is all about. This best-selling serum foundation offers a light layer of coverage that will reduce (not enhance) the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
Out of the 300+ five-star reviews for this product, this one sums up it in a short and sweet sentence: “Makes my skin feel soft and airbrushed and is super hydrating at the same time.”

WHAT IT DOES
Described as having a “skin-like finish,” this serum foundation offers buildable coverage for those with oily, combination, and normal skin types. As a bonus, it’s non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin, so if that’s a concern for you, Ilia’s got you covered.

NOTEWORTHY INGREDIENTS
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is the primary ingredient behind Ilia’s True Skin Serum Foundation. Niacinamide is common in skincare products because it helps build keratin, a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy. Additionally, it helps your skin retain moisture, which means this is one of the best foundation options for dry skin.

WHAT IT DOES
It’s right there on the label: Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint moisturizes and plumps skin for up to 24 hours. But it also conceals uneven skin tones and blemishes by providing a light layer of coverage.

NOTEWORTHY INGREDIENTS
If you’re going to use the word “hydrating” in your product, you’ve got to have an ingredient list that backs that claim up. We’re thrilled to share that this serum foundation does, with hyaluronic acid (an ingredient known for its skin plumping and hydrating properties) leading the way.

WHAT IT DOES
At the top of our list of the best serum foundations is Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint Foundation. As an Allure Best of Beauty award winner and a Sephora community favorite, this foundation combines niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and plant-based squalane to create a lightweight, tinted serum that will leave you with a smooth and dewy complexion.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The addition of SPF 40 ensures protection from the sun, but what you may not know is that this product is formulated with zinc oxide in order to shield your skin from free radicals, blue light, and pollution as well.
