My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The endro brand's Hydrating Serum is primarily intended for skin lacking moisture, whether dry, dehydrated, or exposed to external aggressions (pollution, air conditioning, climatic variations). My analysis of the formula reveals a clear desire to target the skin barrier and restore the skin's moisture balance. This serum fits perfectly into a routine aimed at preventing dehydration, skin discomfort, and the first signs of tightness or loss of radiance.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, hyaluronic acid (in the form of sodium hyaluronate) is known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, ensuring intense hydration and an immediate plumping effect. Next, cucumber extract (Cucumis Sativus) provides soothing and refreshing properties, while helping to reduce redness. Finally, aloe vera (Aloe Barbadensis) promotes skin repair and calms irritation. The combination of these active ingredients guarantees long-lasting hydration, a feeling of comfort, and a visible improvement in skin suppleness.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this serum morning and night to clean, slightly damp skin before moisturizer. It can be combined with skincare products containing ceramides or plant oils to strengthen the skin barrier. However, it is best to avoid immediate combination with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (strong acids, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation, although the presence of a low percentage of lactic acid is well tolerated here.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This serum stands out for its light, non-greasy texture and rapid absorption, making it ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin. However, its subtle fragrance may not be suitable for ultra-reactive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for restoring and maintaining skin hydration on a daily basis, with generally very satisfactory tolerance.
