Hydrating serums.

In this video, we're going to be talking about our favorite hydrating serums.

Now, you don't necessarily need to use a hydrating serum in your skincare routine,

but I've personally been using them quite a bit lately.

I love the way that they feel on my skin,

and we've reviewed hundreds of them,

and we're going to tell you our top five.

Right, so these are the most refreshing,

lightweight, hydrating serums for your skin.

We're going to tell you which ones are our favorites.

Let's go.

Here we go.

So I'm going to kick it off by saying when we talk about hydrating serums,

what role do they really fit in our routine?

Now the truth is that a lot of times your moisturizer,

especially if it has any level of occlusive,

emollient, oils, or any type of humectant like glycerin or hyaluronic acid,

they're going to do the bulk of your moisturizing for the skin.

Now where these hydrating serums come in is that they a lot of times are going to be lighter weight.

people are not going to use a moisturizer in their routine

and some people like that lightweight hydration and on top of

that they tend to be a really good base for layering makeup

and sunscreen on top of it

so they still fill a role they're not going to be

like a vaseline in the sense of preventing trans epidermal water loss

but they do give you that extra kick of hydration

so actually at this time of year we get a lot

of comments do i even need a moisturizer do i need a lotion

or cream whether it's a hot humid environment

or whether you just have oily skin and that's That's actually where these step in.

If you are one of those people,

due to the environment around you,

or just you, your skin probably could still benefit from some hydration,

some improved skin barrier functions,

some improved health, and that's where these will fill that void.

Serums tend to fit in that lighter weight category,

and so they would go before your moisturizer,

they would go before your sunscreen,

they would go before your makeup.

Now, common question that I get is,

how do you use this if you're using a vitamin C product,

a vitamin C serum?

So generally goes that you apply your vitamin C serum first,

because it tends to be the more finicky ingredient,

allow it to dry and settle into your skin and then follow with your hydrating moisturizer.

Yeah, so no science to this,

no perfect formula, but in general,

that's the way you'll do it.

Cleanse vitamin C hydrator, or just cleanse lightweight hydrating serum, doesn't much matter.

Now, what we have for you is a smorgasbord,

word on screen please, of,

mostly because I don't know how to spell that word,

of different types of hydrating serums.

Now, some are just simple, cost-effective, hydration, moisturization, refreshing.

Some have a little bit of a bonus,

but really their primary function is going to be restore the skin.

Most of your active serums,

the ones containing your retinols,

the ones containing your other active ingredients,

your vitamin C's, those are off the table for today.

So I'll do one, then he'll do one, then I'll do one.

We would probably agree on a lot of these, to be honest.

So I'm gonna kick it off by starting with the Snail Mucin from COSAR-REX.

And you think to yourself,

well this is not an hydrating serum, but it is.

And honestly, it truly is.

So this is one of my favorite products.

This is the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.

And I'm not gonna lie to you,

When I first heard about snail mucin, I thought, no way.

I'm not falling for this trap.

But when you use it on your skin and you see how hydrating it is,

especially compared to like a traditional serum,

it's kind of like hyaluronic acid meets glycerin meets ectoan.

Like your skin just feels so hydrated and it's a long lasting hydration on the skin.

And this one has really stood the test of time for me.

So when I first tried it,

it wasn't this product that ended up back in a drawer for me.

It ended up going through one bottle and then two bottles and then three bottles and continuing to like it.

Now we have a whole review on the science of snail mucin that you can find on our channel,

and why we endorse this type of ingredient in the first place.

Now these aren't made in the most humane ways,

I would say, because even if the snails are treated humanely,

you are cultivating them to release mucin in the end,

and so it's not a vegan product by any mean.

But it is effective, it is hydrating,

and I'm gonna show you what the snail does.

So I don't know if we can see this on camera,

but there's very few things with this level of hydration

and with this staying power And it's very non-irritating for the skin Extremely non-irritating.

It's so well studied the data backs it up for sensitive skin healing skin

So snail mucin one of my favorite all-time ingredients also something I wanted to dislike ended up loving over time

And I use this regularly It's probably the most commonly applied product before we shoot videos

that I'm feeling like my skin looks a little flat and dull I'll slap on some snail mucin.

I did it today actually So it's it really is a tried-and-true product.

So mine I'm gonna save I think my hidden gem for last

which I know that half of you aren't going to see

But so you're missing out one of the most interesting ones is this one.

It's the beauty of Joseon calming green tea and panthenol So I am a sucker for a green tea.

100

I'm obsessed with this ingredient.

101

It's so soothing It's such a good antioxidant

102

and it also does a little bit of oil control It's just so good for the skin.

103

I might be my favorite antioxidant Although a flip-flop between that and maybe ferulic acid.

104

So this one is 50% green tea water, like Camellia Sinensis water.

105

That's the first ingredient on the product.

106

I love that.

107

I also love like a green tea toner that's like mostly green tea.

108

And then panthenol, amazing hero ingredient for the skin barrier.

109

But it's that hydration that really hits.

110

And it's just such a soothing product.

111

And it's also a little green.

112

If you don't know this,

113

I am also a sucker for colors.

114

But the body of this, it's actually pretty rich.

115

So it's like not sticky,

116

not tacky, but it's very full and just settles in like thick water if that sounds at all refreshing.

117

Yeah, so not sticky at all,

118

not tacky, sets into the skin really nicely and gives you that nice cooling, hydrating feel.

119

Plus, it's loaded with a lot of great ingredients.

120

And if you've tried products from Beauty of Joseon or really any Korean brand,

121

the elegance is really hard to match.

122

So my next product, which I don't have in front of me right now,

123

but it's a product that I love.

124

It's on my counter at home.

125

I use it every single day.

126

It's the Abib Jericho Rose Bifida Serum from Abib,

127

which is a Korean skincare brand.

128

And I've really never heard anyone else talk about this,

129

but it's one of those products.

130

It's more of like a milky hydrating serum where you apply it and your skin just feels immediately calm afterwards.

131

And Bifida is one of the best ingredients for people who have sensitive skin.

132

And again, this is a Korean skincare brand,

133

so the textures are just hard to match.

134

All right.

135

So funny that you should mention this

136

because I have a product in my pocket

137

that I wasn't sure I was going to talk about is like on the cusp.

138

This is an Ambozzin's number three skin softening serum.

139

And the reason it almost didn't make the cut,

140

and it kind of didn't,

141

so I'm just throwing it in with his,

142

is this first ingredient is bifida ferment lysate.

143

Second one, galactomyces ferment filtrate.

144

And there's such value to these probiotics, postbiotics, prebiotics.

145

These are actually probably more technically,

146

I don't know, it's one of the three.

147

I forget.

148

But they do so much for the skin barrier.

149

And this serum has a great aesthetic.

150

Also just calms the skin immediately.

151

It's incredible.

152

I was just thinking like maybe that's too much of an active ingredient,

153

more like a skin barrier than hydrator But I completely agree with his train of thought.

154

I was right there with him.

155

Just a different product in mind Hmm, okay.

156

Yeah, and these are different.

157

This one is more of this is actually true Like the numbers in one is more of like your traditional like H.A.

158

Glycerin serum the one from Abee is more of that milky serum.

159

So I don't really delineate,

160

you know,

161

we did a whole nother video where we talk about how

162

like serum versus toner versus essence are really just marketing and trying to describe the texture of the product.

163

When I think about this,

164

I think, you know, kind of hydrating serum and it definitely falls into that category for me.

165

Okay, so this one.

166

This is like my elegant pleasure.

167

Not quite a guilty pleasure because it's not expensive enough to really warrant a guilty pleasure.

168

But this is Biosan Squalene Firm and Lift Dual Serum.

169

You probably can't see, but it is separated in space and time.

170

We have this non-emulsified water and oil concoction.

171

You are supposed to shake it actually.

172

Maybe we can show you.

173

So what you see here is it's an oil on water and then you shake it and

174

Then you get these

175

Insane little bubbles inside of it So there's really very few products

176

that are quite like this and this type of experiential element somehow sends me across the edge

177

So the key component of this of course is the squalane

178

that's what Biosense is known for sugarcane derived squalane highest quality

179

then you have glycerin then you have ha you have ectoan you have different types of oils

180

that are good for the skin

181

and it's just like elegant this is this is i get i don't know how to describe it

182

because it's like a skin oil

183

but it doesn't leave your oil you're greasy it just sets

184

so nicely because squalane absorbs deeply it naturally does that

185

and then the other combination of oils

186

and ingredients also just like very very deeply hydrates the skin

187

like a lot of brands piggyback on the term deeply hydrates this one deeply hydrates

188

so if you're someone who's like very dry skin

189

and really just wants to elevate

190

that to another level really just like restore your skin barrier

191

and moisture love this serum i think it's a hidden gem

192

that no one's talking about yeah it's a beautiful serum

193

and it just it really just feels so good on the skin like

194

if i didn't know better i would think this was a korean korean product

195

because it's it just feels that good

196

so we love biosance um you know i feel like it

197

doesn't get as much love as it probably deserves lately and i I think they have incredible products.

198

And I would say right alongside that,

199

their Copper Peptide Hydrating Plumping Serum is also another phenomenal underrated product that we've talked about a few times now.

200

So I'm gonna round out mine by cheating a little bit here.

201

And it's because I feel that hydrating serums can do more.

202

And hydrating serums can serve an extra purpose.

203

Because when you think about actives,

204

I think about the risk of irritation.

205

I think about maybe an ingredient that doesn't play well with other ingredients.

206

But I do think a good way to pair your hydrating serum is a serum

207

that is both hydrating and also delivering a peptide And

208

so I think this is where this product comes into effect

209

and been loving this brand a lot more lately and You know,

210

I've sort of learned like I don't really know much about like the origin story of this brand

211

or anything like this I believe it's a singapore-based company

212

But the more products I try I try for them the more

213

that I like this is there

214

and the only really hold up from recommending it More often would probably be the price point.

215

I think it's a little bit expensive very expensive I would argue,

216

especially their growth factor serum.

217

But this is a really nice serum.

218

This is a copper tripeptide and ectoan advanced repair serum.

219

So ectoan is really where you're getting that hydration from.

220

You're also getting some other hydrating ingredients in this formula as well,

221

but you also get that compounded effect of this acetyl hexapeptide,

222

aka argyroline, and you also have two forms of different copper peptides in this formula.

223

And so a beautiful blue serum,

224

gunk in the cap, which is interesting because I used it earlier today.

225

I was also like dying.

226

I was like looking all over my house for this product the other day and I could not find it.

227

But a beautiful blue hydration serum.

228

Let me kind of show you this up close here.

229

See if we can capture it properly.

230

So you see that beautiful blue and that's from that copper peptide in there.

231

And that's kind of how you know it's at a good concentration as well.

232

And it's super hydrating.

233

It's a super hydrating formula.

234

Plus it's delivering those copper peptides into the skin.

235

So I might look like a Smurf right now.

236

Who knows?

237

But if this wasn't so expensive,

238

I definitely recommend it more often.

239

And so I'm cheating a little bit here by adding this to the list,

240

but it's a product that I like a lot.

241

I believe we have a doctorly discount code that we put in the description on this one.

242

Still only saves you 20%,

243

but at least it gets you a little closer there.

244

Yeah, yeah.

245

This one's my guilty pleasure.

246

So that other one from Bioscience is my elegant pleasure.

247

Allies of Skin is my guilty pleasure brand because it is just straight up expensive almost all the time.

248

But Dr. Shaw brings up a good point in that,

249

you know, you break the rules with a purpose or just be deliberate,

250

which we've said on this channel for years and do you have to have a hydrating serum that's only a hydrating serum?

251

No, you absolutely do not.

252

You can find a serum that has some active targeting your skincare goals

253

and peptides are always a perfect complement towards anything hydrating and healing because they're so gentle.

254

So yes, just get a serum and you'll probably have some hydration alongside it.

255

And we do have an honorable mention that's the opposite end of the spectrum,

256

our OG favorite, Vichy Mineral 89 HA Serum.

257

Now this is the flip side.

258

This is like 11 ingredients,

259

simple formula, hydrating serum, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

260

Honorable mention just because it was like one of the first products we ever reviewed.

261

We've mentioned it a hundred times.

262

You all want to see newness.

263

But again, this is a product that Dr. Maxwell somehow got in a mega size.

264

I don't know where he got this shot.

265

I think I got that one in France.

266

But this is a phenomenal formula.

267

And the reason is

268

because a lot of hyaluronic acid serums use a mixture of low molecular weight

269

and high molecular weight or sometimes only low molecular weight.

270

And those have their benefits because they can get deeper into the skin,

271

but they can be pro-inflammatory for some people.

272

And the higher molecular weight,

273

the one that doesn't penetrate the skin,

274

the one that sits on top of the skin, is just gentler.

275

It's more cushioning to the skin.

276

It's softer on the skin.

277

And this uses a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

278

And it just, the way that it feels, hard to describe.

279

I feel like it's lost a little bit of its hype.

280

And that's because there's so much newness to get excited about.

281

But it is still a phenomenal formula that I definitely stand by.

282

Yeah, me too.

283

So still an all-time favorite.

284

One of my go-tos if I just want some refreshing hydration and yeah, simple formula.

285

It just does what it does and does it well.

286

I'm trying to figure out where I got this from and yeah,

287

it's not in English.

288

So this one is definitely some I got in Europe.

289

Every time I go to Europe,

290

I get like some goodies.

291

All right.

292

So that rounds out our top hydrating serums.

293

There are so many more that we probably missed.

294

There's probably hundreds more that I've tried and loved.

295

So I'm actually a big fan of this category

296

and probably don't talk about it enough

297

because I do feel like in a lot of ways it's not like a necessary step in your skincare routine

298

but I still love them a lot and personally using my skincare routine.

299

Thank you all so much for tuning in.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
