Serums have become the holy grail of skincare — but not all of them live up to the hype. If you’re tired of products that promise glow and deliver little, it might be time to try something different.
HotChi’s therapeutic serums are powered by neurocosmetic science and therapeutic scent technology to support your skin and emotional wellbeing. Here’s the best one for your exact skin concern.

Why These Serums Work Better
Each formula blends active skincare ingredients with therapeutic scents that support your nervous system. This dual approach helps reduce cortisol (your stress hormone) — a key trigger for skin issues like breakouts, dryness, and dullness.
That means visible results for your skin, and a calmer, more focused version of you.
What Is Neurocosmetic Skincare?
Neurocosmetics are formulated to influence both the skin and the mind. These advanced serums work with the skin's nerve endings, helping to regulate sensations like discomfort, inflammation, and even mood.
HotChi serums are developed with this science in mind — because beauty and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Shake It Up
Best for: Hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, dull skin
This brightening serum is like a recharge for your skin and energy. It targets uneven skin tone and dullness while the energising aroma clears mental fog. Ideal for mornings where you feel low-energy and your skin looks tired. Shake It Up revives your glow while helping you feel sharp, fresh, and vibrant.
Run The Show
Best for: Dry, flaky, or combination skin with midday oiliness
If your skin feels drained or flaky in the morning but turns shiny by noon, Run The Show is your balancing hero. It deeply hydrates without clogging pores and works brilliantly under makeup. With a grounding scent that helps sharpen mental focus, this is your go-to serum when you want to feel (and look) like you're in control.
Slay All Day
Best for: Sensitive skin, emotional flare-ups, reactive redness
Slay All Day is for the days you wake up and everything feels too much — and your skin shows it. This calming serum soothes flare-ups, reduces redness, and strengthens your skin barrier over time. Its bold yet soft scent is designed to support emotional resilience. Think of it as a steady hand when life throws chaos your way.
How to Use Our Serums for Best Results
Morning: Apply 2–3 drops on clean, damp skin. Press into the skin with palms while breathing in deeply.
Night: Use as your last step for moisture lock-in and emotional wind-down.
Anytime: Reapply to pulse points during high-stress moments for a scent-driven calm reset.
Emotional Skincare Is the Future
We don't just treat skin problems — we support real life. Whether you're battling burnout, hormonal breakouts, or simply want to feel more confident in your glow, our serums are here to reset more than just your skin.
Because stress shows up on your face. And healing starts with how you feel.
Upgrade Your Routine
Still using a one-size-fits-all serum that barely hydrates? It’s time to switch to something that actually fits your skin’s needs — and your emotional energy.
