Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but sometimes, despite our best efforts, sunburn happens. When your skin gets overexposed to UV rays, it can lead to redness, irritation, and long-term damage. Thankfully, the right serums can help restore your skin, soothing sunburn and promoting healing. Here, we’ll highlight some of the best serums for sunburn recovery, including LOUMI Skincare’s Rose Glow Serum and Revive Retinol Drops.
1. Aloe Vera Serum
Why It’s Great: Aloe vera is well-known for its soothing and hydrating properties, making it a go-to ingredient for treating sunburn. It helps reduce inflammation, redness, and promotes faster healing.
Recommended Ingredients:
- Pure aloe vera extract
- Hyaluronic acid for added hydration
Usage Tips: Apply a generous amount of aloe vera serum to clean skin, focusing on sunburned areas. Use it as often as needed to soothe and hydrate your skin.
2. LOUMI Rose Glow Serum
Why It’s Great: LOUMI’s Rose Glow Serum is packed with powerful natural ingredients that help repair and nourish sun-damaged skin. This serum combines rose hip, jojoba, seabuckthorn, and jasmine oils, which are known for their healing and rejuvenating properties.
Key Ingredients:
- Rose Hip Oil: Rich in vitamins A and C, it helps to reduce inflammation and promote skin regeneration.
- Jojoba Oil: Provides deep hydration and mimics the skin’s natural oils, promoting healing without clogging pores.

- Jasmine Oil: Known for its soothing properties, it helps to reduce redness and irritation.
Usage Tips: Apply the Rose Glow Serum to clean skin, gently massaging it into sunburned areas. Use it twice daily for optimal results.
3. Vitamin C Serum
Why It’s Great: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure. It also boosts collagen production, aiding in the repair of damaged skin and reducing hyperpigmentation.
Recommended Ingredients:
- Stabilized vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
- Ferulic acid to enhance vitamin C’s effectiveness
Usage Tips: Apply a few drops of vitamin C serum to clean skin in the morning before applying sunscreen. This will help protect and repair your skin throughout the day.
4. LOUMI Revive Retinol Drops
Why It’s Great: Retinol is a form of vitamin A that promotes skin turnover and aids in replenishing sun-damaged skin. LOUMI’s Revive Retinol Drops are designed to boost collagen production and accelerate the healing process, making your skin look healthier and more youthful.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol (Vitamin A): Encourages skin cell turnover, helping to fade sun damage and improve skin texture.
- Hydrating agents: To counteract potential dryness from retinol use.
Usage Tips: Apply the Revive Retinol Drops at night, after cleansing and before moisturizing. Start with a lower frequency (e.g., every other night) to allow your skin to adjust, then gradually increase as tolerated.
5. Niacinamide Serum
Why It’s Great: Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. It’s a versatile ingredient suitable for all skin types.
Recommended Ingredients:
- Niacinamide (5-10%)
- Hyaluronic acid for added hydration
Usage Tips: Apply niacinamide serum to clean skin, both morning and night. It can be layered with other serums or used alone.
Tips for Using Serums to Heal Sunburn
- Patch Test First: Always patch test new products to ensure your skin doesn’t react negatively.
- Hydrate: Keep your skin and body well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
