Summer appears to be arriving in Los Angeles at last, and sometimes that means playing around with my skincare because I'm not the shriveled husk I can be in the colder months. I realize those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are making the opposite transition, but the point is, maybe we all want something a little lighter OR heavier on our faces right now and we're in the market for some help.

First up: serums, because my friend Christine put out a call for one the other day on Instagram, and I was no help because my ride-or-die is [Dieux Deliverance](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18298816?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and I don't know if it ships to where she lives. Deliverance has really softened my skin; I'm thrilled with it. I have it delivered every three months, and I have yet to run out before the replacement arrives because I'm pretty good at stretching it. This might be the product you could only pry from my hand if I had recently expired, and even then I'd put up a fight.

But at night, I'm open to swinging. Since last fall, I've alternated [Trinny London's Plump Up](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18298991?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) with [the Ole Henricksen vitamin C Truth Serum](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18298901?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), the latter being a classic and the former because I got sucked in by two things: One, the video on Instagram of her and their scientist lady discussing the clinical results, and two, the packaging. I like that the pump twists up and down, and that you can buy refills. But it IS bigger in the hand than you might expect and I suspect shipping it from overseas is a long-term headache, so while the texture is nice, I'm definitely not married to it. I've also used the [Paula's Choice Vitamin C Boost](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18299698?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but it's so thin, it really does feel like I'm just splashing fancy water onto my face.

Remedy just sent us some of its products, so I paused the usual nighttime routine and am rotating in their [pore minimizer](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18297480?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [dark-spot remover](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18297498?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (I have a pesky spot that I think only I notice, but it's still annoying). I can't tell yet if that one is working, but I DO think I notice a difference with the pore minimizer? It's only been a week so maybe I'm hallucinating. Dr. Diamond also sent us the [Plasma Instafacial](https://go.shopmy.us/p-18299103?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) to try out, but that stuff is basically liquid gold so I'm afraid to get attached, and am therefore being VERY VERY conservative with it -- like, once a week, which probably won't tell me anything about how well it works. I know Jessica really likes it, and it *does* feel soothing. And it's RED! Well, more of a dark pink, but still. Very vampire-chic.

In sum, I am in the market for something that will work miracles on my face while I sleep!!!! That's not a big ask at all!!!! I suppose I could give Deliverance a break occasionally, too, for the right suitor. Maybe it's time to open up *all* my skincare relationships?

What are your holy grail serums, and how do you use them? Do you vary daily, or swap them out after a longer commitment? Or are you monogamous?
