My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Hydra Summum Serum Guinot's product is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture, is prone to dehydration, loss of radiance, and the first signs of aging. This serum aims to restore the skin's moisture balance, smooth fine lines caused by dehydration, and strengthen the skin barrier. Based on my analysis, Guinot's formula is particularly suitable for dry to normal skin, but can also be used on combination skin during periods of stress or environmental damage.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients stand out in this serum:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it intensely hydrates, plumps the skin, and reduces fine lines.
• Glycerine : a benchmark humectant, it attracts and retains water in the epidermis, ensuring long-lasting hydration and an immediate smoothing effect.
• Glyceryl Glucoside : this innovative active ingredient stimulates aquaporins, promoting water circulation between cells and thus optimizing deep hydration.

The presence of vitamin E (tocopherol) provides antioxidant protection, limiting the effects of oxidative stress. The combination of these active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness in improving skin suppleness and radiance.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this serum morning and/or evening to clean skin, before moisturizer. It fits perfectly into a routine with soothing or antioxidant active ingredients (vitamin C). I avoid layering it with very exfoliating or retinoid-based skincare products to limit the risk of irritation, even though the formula is gentle.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Guinot's Hydra Summum Serum stands out for its moisturizing effectiveness, light texture, and rapid absorption. Its subtle fragrance is suitable for most people, but may not be ideal for ultra-sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for restoring moisture and vitality to the skin, while respecting its tolerance.
