What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this serum as an exceptional value pick that delivers genuine hydration without a heavy feel. It's noted as a frequent repurchase for creators across multiple reviews, with consistent appreciation for its microbiome-friendly formula and affordable price point (under $16). The single consistent complaint is that the 30ml bottle depletes quickly, leaving some feeling the product quantity may not match the stated volume. A few creators compare it favorably to pricier alternatives, calling it a strong dupe for much costlier hydrating serums.

"This is the Bioma hydrating serum. It is so good. I think it should cost more. I have easily gone through 10 bottles of this stuff and I'd have to say it's probably my most repurchased serum. It's lightweight, it's barrier friendly, and it is super hydrating. I just wish it lasts longer. It never seems to last very long, but I will definitely be repurchasing."

"This is by Bioma, this is the hydrating serum. I have purchased so many of these and I love this range in general because it's microbiome friendly, everything that they produce is specifically there to help feed our microbiome exactly what it needs, and it's super affordable. I think this runs less than $15. It's very easy to get your hands on, super affordable. My only complaint is it never lasts very long, it doesn't seem like there's really 30 ml in there. But the interesting thing about the texture is it's very lightweight but it still feels hydrating. Your skin feels hydrated, which is unusual for something that's so thin. I love it. I reach for it very regularly, so I will be buying again."

"I'm using Bioma again now I have bought this product probably seven or eight times I keep repurchasing it and I find that it is super hydrating it really gives a punch it just makes your skin feel so soft and again you cannot beat the price point this costs 14. In addition to the tricer of my complex it also has vitamin E it has glycerin and it has squalane so it's just packing full of all of those hydrating elements."

"It's a Holy Grail product I have purchased this so many times it is Bonkers. It does exactly what you want it to do it makes my middle-aged 53-year-old skin feel hydrated and let me tell you that is no small task. This is hands down the best affordable hydrating serum I have ever tried it's actually one of the best at any price range in my opinion. There's probably only one other serum that I like as much as this and I would put them side by side and that one is four times the price. My only complaint about this product is that I go through it too fast. It's a 30 mil container which is standard but it doesn't feel like there's 30 ml of product in here it just seems to go so fast. But if it weren't so damn affordable, I mean we're talking 16 bucks for this, I would be kicking up a stink but it's so good I keep buying it again and again and again."

"Bioma with its tripeptide complex with its ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and different types of amino acids is like a 70% dupe of the Drunk Elephant Hydrating Serum. If you have normal to dry skin, then the Bioma is better for you."

Skincare I will always buy | My holy grail skincare products
"The only hydrating serum that I bought was when I was in the US, Bioma Hydrating Serum, which is amazing. Almost there's very little left behind. I'll use it, finish it. This gives you snail mucin, it gives you hyaluronic acid. Why do you need two separate serums? So if you need hyaluronic acid and snail mucin, I really really recommend this one. I think this is an absolute holy grail product."
