Dry and dehydrated skin share some of the same symptoms but they’re actually two different skin issues. Dry skin is a skin type where the skin lacks oil, whereas dehydrated skin lacks water.

All skin types can become dehydrated; even oily skin. Dehydration results in drier, dull looking skin where fine lines that are more pronounced and skin feels tight even after moisturising.

To combat dehydration for all skin types, the skin cell’s water content can be replenished with a hyaluronic acid serum. Using hyaluronic acid for skin in the form of a serum means thirsty cells receive much needed moisture quickly.

The esmi Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum is like a big drink of water for your skin containing triple action Hyaluronic Acid which increases hydration by 25% within 2 hours.

The hydrating serum isn’t a moisturiser, it works by attracting water to the deeper layers of skin and rehydrating cells from the inside out. Hydrating serums need to be followed by a moisturiser or face oil on top to lock in the hydration for best results.

We recommend following the Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum with 24K Gold Oil or the Acai Skin Balancing Face Oil.

The hydrating serum contains niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for skin repair, restoration and to regulate oil flow which in turn aids in breakout prevention. It also contains allantoin to promote cell longevity.
