My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Lierac's Hydragenist Oxygenating Plumping Serum is primarily intended for dehydrated skin that lacks radiance and shows early signs of aging, such as dehydration lines. My analysis of the formula reveals the brand's desire to target skin water loss, lack of suppleness, and dull complexion, while providing an immediate plumping effect. This product is part of an intensive skincare approach to restore vitality and freshness to the face.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three 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, promoting deep hydration and a visible plumping effect. Next, urea, a powerful moisturizing and keratolytic agent, improves skin suppleness and strengthens the protective barrier. Finally, the presence of pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) helps to soothe and repair the skin, while stimulating cell regeneration. The combination of these active ingredients, complemented by mild fruit acids (AHAs), gives this serum a noticeable effect on the skin's radiance and texture.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this serum in the morning and/or evening, on clean, dry skin, before moisturizer. It fits perfectly into a moisturizing routine, but it is best to avoid immediate combination with highly exfoliating skincare products or retinoids to limit the risk of irritation, due to the presence of AHAs. It is compatible with soothing or antioxidant active ingredients.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Lierac serum stands out for its rapid moisturizing and plumping action, ideal for skin in need of comfort. Its light and fresh texture is pleasant, but the presence of fragrance may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an effective and well-formulated skincare product for restoring moisture and radiance to the skin.
