Dehydrated skin1 expert

“I love when products can dive a little deeper with dehydration that's how this feels it doesn't just sit like water on top of your skin it gets down in there and it does have that nice light plumping action that I also love because I love bouncy skin and this is something that can really deliver it but it's just delivering it in a much lighter refreshing package super hydrating really good absorption here no stickiness no tackiness.”

"This is a very light gel textured serum that bursts legit bursts into hydration on your skin it feels so refreshing it feels so so good and I love when products can dive a little deeper with dehydration that's how this feels it doesn't just sit like water on top of your skin it gets down in there and it does have that nice light plumping action that I also love because I love bouncy skin and this is something that can really deliver it but it's just delivering it in a much lighter refreshing package super hydrating really good absorption here no stickiness no tackiness. [...] The benefits that this serum is going to deliver to the skin are on the more subtle end of things right it's not a heavy hitting brightening type of product it's not going to really target hyperpigmentation on the skin but if you are dealing with an unevenness in the complexion I have noticed that Hyalu-Cica does have that little like enhancement like after a couple of weeks like hey I think my skin does just look a little healthier I think it does look a little bit brighter it's that type of serum and [...] I just think Hyalu-Cica does it better."

"For additional hydration there is Pantolactone, a Polyhydroxy Acid, you will find Panthenol and Allantoin for additional soothing and then one Ceramide and Niacinamide with its variety of skin beneficial effects. Overall it is a nice hydrating serum, but nothing that gets me overly excited. I wouldn't expect much of a brightening effect."

"I genuinely see an improvement in skin softness with this product, it's very good and I highly recommend it. [...] It has compounds from centella, which are helpful for healing recovery and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, [...] it's very hydrating, it has hyaluronic acid. It doesn't have fragrance but it has some botanic extracts that give it [...] a bit of an aroma of grape, be aware of that, but nothing that lingers."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
