Dry skin
Hydration, comfort and skin barrier support

Dry skin often feels tight, uncomfortable or rough — particularly after cleansing, with changes in temperature, or during the day when skincare no longer provides enough comfort. It may look dull, feel less elastic, become flaky in some areas or lose its smoothness more quickly.

With dry skin, it is important not only to provide hydration, but also to support the skin barrier and help reduce water loss. That is why formulas that help the skin maintain comfort for longer can work particularly well — from gentle cleansing and a hydrating serum to a richer final step in the routine.

Dry skin is a skin type or long-term tendency — often associated with lower lipid levels, a weakened skin barrier, roughness, tightness and a greater tendency to lose comfort. Dehydrated skin is a condition in which the skin lacks water; it can affect any skin type, including combination, oily or sensitive skin.

For dry skin, start with the main hydration step — Aquasphere. This multi-level hydrating serum supports water retention in the skin, helps reduce water loss and improves skin comfort.

You can complement the routine with O-Mega Milk if you want to cleanse without drying the skin and also use the product as a hydrating mask; Fulvic Ionic to prepare the skin for the next steps and support its balance; Superpause when the skin needs regeneration, comfort and skin barrier support; and 7 Moments when richer nourishment and smoothing are needed. Holitint can be an additional daytime step if you want to combine skincare with a more even skin tone and a makeup-like effect.

Not always. A serum can be the main hydration step, but dry skin often also needs skin barrier support and a richer formula to complete the routine. Aquasphere helps deliver and maintain hydration, but if the skin quickly returns to feeling tight, rough or uncomfortable, it is worth following with a cream, emulsion or facial oil suited to its needs.

Many needs of dry and sensitive skin can overlap, particularly when it comes to hydration, comfort and skin barrier support. Products should still be selected according to the skin’s current condition and tolerance.

The first effects of hydration can be felt quickly — particularly as improved comfort, softness and reduced tightness. Ingredient-level studies on ingredients used in Aquasphere showed increased hydration after just 30 minutes, while the efficacy of the final formula was confirmed by instrumental testing: +49.5% hydration after 7 days and +56% after 28 days of use.

That is why, with dry skin, it is worth looking beyond the immediate feeling of relief and considering whether the formula also helps maintain hydration for longer and supports the skin barrier.
