Hydrating Serums: The Key to Deeply Moisturised, Radiant Skin

If you’re after that radiant, dewy look, hydration is the key. But let’s face it—sometimes, regular moisturizers aren’t enough. That’s where hydrating serums come in! Lightweight yet super effective, they deliver deep moisture, leaving your skin plump, smooth and glowing. Ready to find out why hydrating serums are a skincare must-have and how to use them? Let’s dive in!

What is a Hydrating Serum and Why Do You Need It?

A hydrating serum is a concentrated hydration boost for your skin, delivering moisture deep into the layers where it’s needed most. Perfect for combating dryness, dullness or dehydration from harsh weather or pollution, serums like CodeSkin Hyaluronic 7+ visibly plump skin, reduce fine lines and create a lightweight glass-skin effect.

Top Benefits of Using a Hydrating Serum

Here’s why hydrating serums deserve a place in your skincare routine:

1. Intense Hydration: Hydrating serums go deeper than regular moisturizers, delivering moisture right where your skin needs it most. 
2. Reduces Fine Lines: By deeply hydrating your skin, serums plump it up, making fine lines and wrinkles less visible. 
3. Improves Skin Texture: Hydrating serums smooth out those rough patches and uneven spots, improving your skin’s overall texture. 
4. Boosts Other Skincare Products: A good hydrating serum preps your skin, helping moisturizers, sunscreens, and treatments absorb better. 
5. Suitable for All Skin Types: Hydrating serums are lightweight and non-greasy, making them great for oily skin as they don’t clog pores. If you have dry or sensitive skin, they add an extra layer of moisture while soothing irritation, making them a versatile option for everyone.

Best Ingredients in Hydrating Serums

Not all hydrating serums are created equal. To ensure you’re getting maximum benefits, look for these powerhouse ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Known as the ultimate hydration magnet, it holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, delivering intense moisture.
• Glycerin: A natural humectant that draws water into the skin.
• Aloe Vera Extract: Soothes and hydrates for a calming effect.
• Niacinamide: Reduces redness and improves overall skin health.
• Antioxidants (like Vitamin C or E): Protect against free radical damage while boosting hydration.

How to Choose the Best Hydrating Serum for Your Skin Type

Here’s how to choose the right hydrating serum depending on your skin’s needs and concerns:

• Normal Skin

For normal skin, choose a balanced hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to maintain moisture and support overall skin health. These help keep your skin looking fresh, radiant and perfectly balanced.

• Dry Skin

Opt for serums rich in hyaluronic acid and ceramides to deeply hydrate and repair your skin barrier. Thicker, more concentrated formulas are ideal to combat dryness and keep your skin smooth and plump throughout the day.

• Oily Skin

Select lightweight, water-based serums that provide hydration without adding extra shine or clogging pores. Look for ingredients like niacinamide, which helps regulate oil production while keeping your skin hydrated and balanced.

• Combination Skin

A versatile serum that hydrates dry areas while controlling oil in the T-zone is perfect for combination skin. Look for serums with ingredients like glycerin and aloe vera, which provide moisture without making your skin feel greasy.

How to Use a Hydrating Serum

Using a hydrating serum like CodeSkin Hyaluronic 7+ correctly ensures you get the most out of its benefits. Here’s how to incorporate it into your routine:

1. Start with a clean face to remove dirt, oil and makeup.
2. Take 2-3 drops of your hydrating serum and gently pat it on your skin using upward strokes.
3. Lock in the hydration with a moisturizer like CodeSkin UltraIntense Moisturizer for dry skin or UltraMatte Oil-Free Moisturizer for oily skin.
4. In the morning, top it off with SPF to protect your hydrated skin from sun damage.

Seasonal Tips: Adjusting Your Hydrating Serum for Winter and Summer

Your skin's needs change with the seasons, and so should your serum routine. In winter, cold air and indoor heating can dehydrate your skin, making it dry and tight. Layering a hydrating serum with a richer moisturizer helps restore softness and protection. In summer, the heat and humidity call for lightweight serums paired with oil-free moisturizers for non-greasy hydration. Adjusting your routine keeps your skin glowing, balanced and hydrated all year round!
