Review - Hydraluron

Now where do I start with this little bundle of joy? It's totally transformed my skin and it's love! 

After being somewhat of a skincare floozie at the beginning of the year, my skin started to flare up due to the amount of different products I had incorporated into my skincare routine. Now I know that I'm a sensitive wee soul when it comes to life in general however especially when it comes to what I slap on my face, so to start using products clearly laden with fragrance and lots of additives (I'm looking at you Nip & Fab!) clearly was not going to suit me. My cheeks erupted with bumpy, red spots, dryness, open pores and was so unsightly it started to make me feel really down in the dumps.  

I had read various different reviews about Hydraluron, claiming it to be the best hydrating serum they have used, but I was always put off by the price (it currently retails at £24.99 in Boots) however Boots had a special offer on where it was down to £16 and with enough Boots Advantage points I promptly made the order and have never looked back! 

I have definitely noticed a vast improvement in the texture and tone of my skin since introducing Hydraluron into my skincare regime. Indeed Laboratories who produce Hydraluron state that Hydraluron contains one of the purest forms of hyaluronic acid which is an extremely hydrating ingredient and holds up to 1000 x's its weight in water. Basically it acts like a glue to anything you put on top of it - so you apply this, put your moisturiser on - and it stays there - the water in your moisturiser takes longer to evaporate off the surface of the skin. It's a simple yet very effective serum, no fragrance, no added extras just plain and simple skincare. 

I use it in the areas where I struggle most which for me is the cheek area. I squeeze a pea size amount, rub between my fingers then pat it on. I then wait a minute or so until it sinks in then I apply my trusty Nivea moisturiser on top. So far it seems to be working! My skin feels instantly hydrated and plump. I also use Hydraluron in the mornings before I apply my makeup, this is really where I've noticed a vast improvement. Those of you with dry/dehydrated skin will know you must prep your skin with moisture beforehand otherwise foundation etc tends to cling to those awful dry areas, never a good look! But adding in this extra step, my makeup blends better, it's got a healthy glow and best of all no unsightly dry patches. 

As much as I am raving about this product, I'm also using it in conjunction with my other skincare essentials- cream cleanser and moisturiser. It's just this is an extra step I've incorporated and it seems to be working well for me. 

Have you tried Hydraluron? Let me know your thoughts!
