The best serum packaging depends on formula sensitivity and user dosing. Glass dropper bottles are common for facial oils and classic serums. Airless serum bottles are better for oxygen-sensitive active formulas and controlled dosing. Amber glass, UV coating, tight cap fit and leak testing are important for vitamin C, retinol and light-sensitive skincare.
