Our skin needs consistent hydration in order to look, feel and be healthy - that's the primary step for skin health.
However, the environment around us leaves us at constant risk of dehydration and sometimes it might feel that keeping our skin hydrated is a neverending battle.
The tightness we feel on the skin, the urge to quickly get moisturiser on after cleansing and the skin concerns we might be experiencing (e.g. acne), might all be a sign that our skin is dehydrated.
Hydrated vs Dehydrated Skin
Our bodies (including the skin) need water to survive and thrive.
When we talk about hydration, we are referring to the moisture levels in the skin. Moisture is vital in keeping the skin healthy and our skin barrier in optimum condition.
This barrier is the top layer of the skin and this protects us from the harsh environmental elements that surround us daily. If moisture levels become low, we start to see changes to our skin. Lets take a look at the difference between a hydrated skin to a dehydrated skin,
Hydrated Skin
- Looks radiant
- Has a healthy 'glow'
- Feels supple and looks plump
- No tightness present on the skin
- Skin feels comfortable and bouyant
- Oil flow is balanced
Dehydrated Skin
- Can appear dull
- Has an uneven skin texture
- May increase congestion and breakouts (if prone)
- Feel 'tight' and a 'dry' similar to that of wanting to put more moisturiser on during the day
- Oily but feels dry
- Fine lines of dehydration may appear and wrinkles may look deeper
Who can use the Circular Hydration Serum?
EVERYONE! Seriously, everyone.
No matter your skin type and no matter what skin concerns you have, every skin needs extra hydration.
As a bonus, this serum can be layered with some of your other dermalogica serums, so that multiple concerns can be targeted.

The key ingredients that guarantee efficacy
- Polyglutamic Acid – Creates a barrier to prevent water from evaporating out and helps to stimulate hydration from within the skin.

- Lactobacillus Ferment + Avena (Oat) Extract – Helps balance skin's microbiome (bacteria community) to improve barrier health so skin can better hold water.

- Hyaluronic Acid – Known for its ability to hold 1000x times its own weight in water, this potent humectant, also naturally present in the skin, provides deep hydration.
