These Face Serums Are Changing The Game In 2025—Experts Swear By One That’ll Leave Your Skin Unrecognizably Hydrated!
Ever thought about why your skin seems to downright reflect your mood swings? Like, can a face serum actually chill out your skin’s drama while making you look younger? Well, that’s exactly the intriguing puzzle Neurae tackles — blending neuroscience with skincare like few ever have . At $195 a pop, this isn’t your average drugstore find; it’s more like treating your skin (and brain) to a luxe spa day every night. I’ve been digging into what makes this award-winning serum tick, from the calming scents to the silky texture that begs you to slow down and savor self-care — because let’s be honest, who doesn’t sometimes just want to skip straight to the end of their routine? But Neurae invites you to hit pause and truly reconnect with your skin’s story, which is as fascinating as it sounds. Curious to see if this pricey potion can really live up to the hype and soothe more than just your face?
I know spending $195 on a face serum is a significant investment, but if you have the budget for a top-tier product that feels like a real luxury experience and delivers visible anti-aging results, then Neurae is for you.
Since the brand pays homage to the skin and brain connection, dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, MD calls it “a real and powerful thing” since many skin conditions—acne, eczema, alopecia areata, and rosacea—can flare when we’re experiencing emotional stress. “There are lots of neurotransmitters and other cytokines in the skin,” says Dr. King. “We are still learning more about the roles that these chemical messengers play, but certainly they play a part in inflammatory cascades.”
This Women’s Health Beauty Award winner earned major snaps from our beauty director because it utilizes neuroscience to improve your appearance and mood. “Just think of how soothing it feels to smooth on a cooling gel serum or deeply inhale the calming scent of lavender or jasmine. It’s an emerging area of research called neurocosmetics—and I’m here for it,” says Underwood, who has 20 years of beauty journalism experience. And while the research is limited behind Neurae’s ingredients acting upon the neutral pathways that cause inflammation and barrier disruption, Underwood can confirm that every time he uses the Harmonie Serum before bed, he is thoroughly blissed out.
During my month of testing, Neurae soothed, calmed, and refreshed my skin. It also imparted a glowy finish that is reminiscent of my beloved Armani Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer. The texture is also truly impressive—it feels like silk in my hands and on my face. Given the luxurious feel, I quickly became compelled to apply this serum slowly and really savor the moment and self-care aspect of my skincare routine. Sometimes I just want my routine to be done and over with, but using this product slowed me down and helped invigorate my interest in skincare again.
Functionality aside, Neurae’s packaging is on point! The bottle features a ribbed frosted glass, yet you can still see how much product is inside, allowing you to restock before you run out. It also has a nice weight to it—sturdy enough not to chip, yet feels lightweight and comfortable in my hand. Additionally, the slim profile and golden yellow liquid add a touch of chicness to my beauty shelf.
