My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Lierac's Hydragenist Hydrating Face Serum is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture, is prone to dehydration, feels uncomfortable, or has lost its radiance. My analysis of the formulation reveals the brand's desire to target the skin barrier and water retention, while providing an immediate plumping effect. This serum is part of a daily skincare routine to prevent dehydration lines and restore skin suppleness.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it intensely hydrates and plumps the skin both on the surface and deep down.
• Urea : a natural moisturizing agent, it promotes water retention in the stratum corneum and improves skin suppleness, while having a gentle keratolytic effect that refines skin texture.
• Gluconolactone (PHA) : this new-generation exfoliating acid gently exfoliates, stimulates cell renewal, and improves skin texture without irritating it, while strengthening the skin barrier.

The synergy of these active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness in terms of hydration and skin quality.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this serum morning and/or evening to clean skin, before moisturizer. It is compatible with most moisturizing active ingredients (niacinamide, ceramides), but I recommend avoiding immediate combination with powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA) to limit the risk of irritation, due to the presence of gluconolactone.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Lierac serum stands out for its expert formula, combining deep hydration with improved skin texture. Its light texture is quickly absorbed without feeling sticky. The only downside is the presence of fragrance, which may be an issue for those with very sensitive skin. In conclusion, this is an excellent choice for safely restoring moisture and radiance to the face.
