Hydrating and Hyaluronic Acid Serums

Hyaluronic Acid Serums and Hydrating Serums

A hyaluronic acid serum is a lightweight, water-based treatment that helps skin hold onto moisture, so it feels softer, smoother and more comfortable. Adore Beauty's range of hydrating serums includes hyaluronic acid serums for the face from brands such as The Ordinary, La Roche-Posay, CeraVe and Torriden, with options across dry, normal and oily skin types.

How to Choose the Best Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Your Skin

Most hyaluronic acid serums are lightweight and non-greasy, so they can suit a wide range of skin types. The best match depends on what your skin needs most. If your skin feels tight or dehydrated, start with a serum that lists dull, dry or dehydrated skin as a concern. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30ml is listed for dull, dry or dehydrated skin as well as sensitivity and redness. The CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30ml is listed for dull, dry or dehydrated skin and suits normal to dry skin.

If you also want to address the first signs of ageing, the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Suractivated Serum 30ml is listed for dull, dry or dehydrated skin, first signs of ageing, and wrinkles and loss of firmness. For a low molecular weight option, try the Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which is listed for dull, dry or dehydrated skin.

Pairing Hyaluronic Acid With Other Hydrating Serums

Hyaluronic acid is one of several ingredients used in serums. If you want to pair hydration with another goal, browse our vitamin C, brightening and antioxidant serums or vitamin B and niacinamide serums. Not sure where to start? Read a skin expert's top recommended hydrating serums on BeautyIQ.

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Apply hyaluronic acid serum after cleansing, ideally to slightly damp skin, then follow with your moisturiser to help seal in hydration. Water-based serums like these generally go on before richer products, and most can be used morning and night, but check the directions on the pack. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin, patch test any new serum first.
