A serum is a concentrated treatment that goes under your moisturizer. You can get a lot out of a single well-chosen formula, so pick one concern, such as brightness, texture or hydration, and start there.

Buy one serum at a time and give it at least a month. Switching products every week makes it impossible to tell what is working. Keep the rest of your routine boring and consistent.
