      While we typically pamper our skin with serums and moisturizers, our bodies often miss out on this attention in our skincare regimen. Besides body wash, body lotion, and perhaps a body cream, there have been limited options for the skin below our neck for quite some time. It's indeed peculiar that we dedicate so much care to our faces while neglecting the other 90% of our skin in our body care routines. Recently, however, more skincare brands have begun to offer ways to treat our body's skin with the same fervor as our faces, introducing innovations in body care. Body serums have been popping up frequently, much like facial serums, and provide similar benefits for the body. Whether you're looking for the advantages of vitamin C all over, a serum to diminish hyperpigmentation, or an added layer of hydration beneath your body cream, there's a solution for every need. Thanks to their lightweight consistency, they seamlessly integrate into your shower routine. They serve wonderfully as a light hydrator during summer and can be layered under a body cream or lotion in colder months for extra nourishment when required. Below, I’ve compiled a selection of the top body serums that promise hydration, brightening, exfoliation, and more. Your softest, silkiest skin awaits.

      **Best Body Serums, Tried & Tested**

      Best Overall: Vaseline Gluta-Hya Flawless Tone Serum Burst Lotion (£13)

      Best Luxury Body Serum: Chanel N°1 De Chanel Body Serum in Mist (£74)

      Best for Hydration: Naturium Urea 5% Body Serum (£24)

      Best for Exfoliating: U Beauty Resurfacing Body Compound (£124)

      Best for Brightening: Necessaire The Body Vitamin C (£58)

      1. **Vaseline Gluta-Hya Flawless Tone Serum Burst Lotion Moisturiser**

       This unpretentious body serum has captured the hearts of our beauty team (it even earned a Who What Wear Next in Beauty Best in Class Award—it’s that impressive). Its light, cooling gel-serum consistency absorbs within moments, leaving skin velvety soft. I find it sufficiently hydrating, eliminating the need for an additional body moisturizer; just apply and you’re good to go. It’s available in three varieties, including Dewy Radiance, Flawless Tone, and Overnight Radiance, with Flawless Tone being my favorite for fading hyperpigmentation and giving skin a radiant glow. It's excellent for treating persistent scars from ingrown hairs or pigmentation caused by the sun while keeping your skin well-moisturized. Honestly, it’s hard to believe it’s only £13.

       **Pros**

       - Affordable

       - Available in three varieties for radiance, brightening, and overnight hydration

       - Quick absorption

       **Cons**

       - If you’re seeking something more luxurious, another serum may be preferable.

      2. **Naturium Urea 5% Body Serum**

       This new Naturium body serum has secured a permanent place in my bathroom. It’s ultra-lightweight but highly hydrating due to the urea in its formula, and the milky serum texture provides a cooling, silky finish on the skin (no waiting time needed for absorption). The convenient pump dispenser makes application easy. It’s among the most hydrating body serums I’ve encountered, working well on its own in summer or layered under a body lotion or cream during colder months to lock in moisture.

       **Pros**

       - Excellent for hydrating dry or rough skin

       - Large bottle has longevity

       **Cons**

       - Not suitable if you're looking for exfoliation or brightening.

      3. **U Beauty Resurfacing Body Compound**

       While pricey, I assure you that this body serum is worth every penny. It functions as both a body exfoliator and serum, helping to remove dull, dry skin while hydrating for satin-soft limbs. Every time I use it, I’m astounded by how glowing and smooth my skin appears. As it's an exfoliating body serum, you only need to use it a few times a week, but the results are transformative. It’s also fantastic as exfoliating prep before applying self-tanner, ensuring a more even and longer-lasting tan.

       **Pros**

       - Exfoliates and hydrates simultaneously

       - Silky formula leaves skin soft and smooth

       **Cons**

       - Luxury formula comes with a high price.

      4. **Nécessaire The Body Serum**

       What I appreciate about Nécessaire is that many of its products come in unscented versions. For those of us with sensitive skin, it can be challenging to find suitable products for eczema or psoriasis-prone skin that don’t feel clinical. This body
