    What the gurus are saying

    This lightweight serum layers beautifully without pilling, even when mixed with other products and makeup, and won't cause the peeling some people experience with hyaluronic acid alone. The combination of panthenol and resveratrol (an antioxidant) makes it a solid choice if you're after hydration with anti-aging support, and it works well used twice daily or as a stepping stone before moving to a heavier moisturizer.

    "Next up is the Maelove Hydrator, and it's 32 bucks. It's a very simple serum, I think it has five ingredients, and resveratrol and panthenol are the two exciting ingredients. Their hydrator, it's really nice, they have some nice products."

    "A couple of things I recommend are adding in a lightweight serum like the Maelove Hydrator. This is a really lightweight, liquidy serum, so if you're not quite ready for a heavy duty moisturizer just yet, [...] this is a really great thing to add. You can add it in your morning or your evening skincare routine. I use it at night just because I like it to help keep my skin more hydrated overnight while I'm sleeping. This is a really amazing serum because it's got three active ingredients in it. It's got vitamin B5, it's got resveratrol which is an antioxidant, and it's also got panthenol. Vitamin B5 is a humectant, so it binds water to your skin, and it's going to definitely keep your skin hydrated by keeping more water on the surface. But the antioxidants and the panthenol in here will help to moisturize your skin and help to keep it healthier."

    "The next serum I use is May Love The Hydrator. I use this one all year round but I especially love it in the winter because my skin tends to be a little bit drier in the winter. This one contains panthenol and resveratrol and resveratrol is a really good antioxidant to have in there. I have been using this for a few years and I love it."

    "For extra moisture in my skin, I use May Love The Hydrator, which has panthenol in it and one of my other favorite antioxidants, Resveratrol. Resveratrol is that antioxidant from red wine that's supposed to be like the Fountain of Youth secret. You can't drink enough red wine to have it work that way, but you can put it on the surface of your skin and there are studies saying it's actually beneficial to your skin. It also has hyaluronic acid."

    "This is a really great little serum. It's got panthenol in it so it's very hydrating for the skin but it also contains resveratrol which is one of my favorite antioxidants to get into your skincare. I use these in my nighttime routine. They're inexpensive serums."

    "I use this in my evening skincare routine. It's so moisturizing and it's great, especially during the winter months to add into your skincare routine if you're not using it the rest of the year. This contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol, which is super hydrating for the skin, and it also has resveratrol, which is an antioxidant that does great things for your skin. It helps fight free radicals and repair sun damage."
    Yay
    "The Hydrator Serum is your hyaluronic acid serum but this also contains panthenol and Resveratrol, and Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is wonderful to treat signs of aging. If you love your hyaluronic acid serums and you're looking for that additional hydration and that plumped look to the skin, this is a really nice formulation and I do like it. [...] I've never experienced peeling with this. Sometimes with hyaluronic acid serums I have experienced peeling and I didn't get that with this. I did use this with different types of serums, different moisturizers, different sunscreens and makeup, and never have I had an issue with pilling. This is also a serum that can be used every day, twice a day, and you can pair this up with multiple products as well. [...] This is really nice. I like it a lot."
