Answers to your frequently asked hydrating serum questions.

Depending on your skin type and your skin’s needs at a particular time, a hydrating serum may be used in place of moisturizer. Those with oily or blemish-prone skin may prefer to use our Hydrating B5 Gel in place of a traditional moisturizer. However, dry skin can benefit from using a hydrating serum in addition to moisturizer for extra skin nourishing moisture. When exercising or in a hot, humid climate, a hydrating serum may be a more comfortable moisturizer option for some.

The ideal hydrating serum for dry skin is formulated with ingredients that attract moisture to the skin and help lock it in. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most effective ingredients to look for in a serum for dry skin, as it is a powerful humectant that provides long-lasting moisture to improve the appearance of skin texture as well as its comfort.

Always begin your skincare routine with the appropriate SkinCeuticals cleanser and toner for your skin type and unique skin concerns. In the morning, apply hydrating serum after your vitamin C antioxidant and before sunscreen. (You can apply moisturizer between your hydrating serum and sunscreen if desired.) When using retinol at night, apply hydrating serum after your retinol cream and before moisturizer.

Hydrating serums are lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas designed to deliver concentrated moisture to the skin. They typically contain humectant ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which attract and retain water within the skin’s surface layers, helping to improve suppleness, smoothness, and overall hydration levels.

Both serums and moisturizers play essential roles in treating dry skin, but they serve different functions. Hydrating serums are formulated to deliver concentrated moisture and active ingredients deep into the skin, often using humectants like hyaluronic acid to draw water into the skin. Moisturizers, on the other hand, help to seal in that hydration and reinforce the skin’s barrier with emollients and occlusives. For optimal results, layering a hydrating serum underneath a moisturizer provides immediate and lasting hydration, making this combination the most effective approach for addressing dry skin.
