My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The Inkey List's Hyaluronic Acid serum is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture, is prone to dehydration, loss of elasticity, or fine lines caused by dryness. My analysis of the formulation reveals a clear desire on the part of the brand to target the restoration of the skin barrier and the improvement of skin suppleness. This product fits perfectly into a routine aimed at preventing premature skin aging and providing immediate comfort to thirsty skin, regardless of age or skin type.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

I would highlight three key active ingredients in this serum. First, hyaluronic acid (in the form of sodium hyaluronate and pure hyaluronic acid): it acts like a molecular sponge, capturing and retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which plumps up the skin and smooths fine lines. Next, glycerin, a recognized humectant, optimizes hydration by attracting water to the surface layers of the epidermis. Finally, the presence of peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes skin repair, thereby strengthening the skin's firmness and resilience. This synergy of active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness in hydrating and preventing skin aging.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this serum morning and evening to clean, slightly damp skin before moisturizer. It pairs perfectly with soothing active ingredients (niacinamide, panthenol) or antioxidants (vitamin C). However, it is best to avoid immediately layering it with products that are highly concentrated in exfoliating acids to limit the risk of irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This serum stands out for its light, non-sticky texture and excellent tolerance, even for sensitive skin. Its fragrance-free formula limits the risk of allergies. The only downside could be a feeling of tightness if the skin is very dry and the serum is not followed by a cream. In conclusion, I consider this product to be a reliable ally for restoring and maintaining skin hydration on a daily basis.
