Was Sie erhalten: Ein essentieller Bestandteil für eine tiefengehende Feuchtigkeitsversorgung das ganze Jahr. Dieses doppelte Ektoin-Serum spendet tiefenwirksam Feuchtigkeit und stärkt die Hautbarriere, um Umweltstressoren wie Hitze, Klimaanlage, Umweltverschmutzung und Sonne zu bekämpfen.

Warum es funktioniert: 2 % Ectoin wirkt als natürlicher Feuchtigkeitsspender und Stabilisator der Hautbarriere und hilft, Reizungen zu beruhigen und Feuchtigkeitsverlust zu verhindern. Multimolekulare Hyaluronsäure baut die Feuchtigkeitsbarriere der Haut von außen auf – auch unter rauen Bedingungen.

Wie es sich anfühlt: Leicht, seidig und nicht klebrig. Zieht in die Haut ein und versorgt die Haut sofort mit Feuchtigkeit und Komfort den ganzen Tag.

FAQs

WHEN DO I USE ECTOIN HYDRO-BARRIER SERUM? Use first after cleansing, AM and PM. Follow with treatments, moisturizer, and SPF in the morning.

DO I NEED HYALURONIC ACID TOO? Not necessarily. Ectoin Serum hydrates up to 10 layers deep. You can use both, or alternate AM/PM. Hydration overload = totally fine.

CAN I LAYER IT WITH OTHER PRODUCTS? Yes - it plays well with all actives, AM and PM.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? Yes. Clinically proven for all skin types, including sensitive.

IS IT NON-COMEDOGENIC? Yes. Oil-free and won’t clog pores.

WHAT IS THE SKIN BARRIER + WHY DOES IT MATTER? It’s your skin’s outer layer - keeps good stuff in and irritants out. A healthy barrier = calm, hydrated, happy skin.

WHY HYDRATION + BARRIER SUPPORT TOGETHER? They work hand-in-hand. No hydration = weak barrier. Weak barrier = no hydration. This serum targets both at once.

CAN I APPLY MAKEUP OVER IT? Yes. Wait 30–60 seconds before applying makeup to avoid pilling.

DOES IT HAVE SPF? No - follow with SPF in the morning.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS? Give it up to 6 weeks. Consistency is key - more isn’t better, just be regular with it.

IS IT VEGAN? Yes! Certified by The Vegan Society.

IS IT SAFE FOR PREGNANCY/BREASTFEEDING? Yes.

CAN I USE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS? Check with your doctor first.

WHAT’S THE PH LEVEL? pH 5.5–6.8

"Magic Potion! My menopausal skin crisis happened just as this product was launched. My skin was suddenly reacting to products I had used for months/years. It was red, dry, flaky and thick. I took a chance and bought the Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum to see if it would help. It did an amazing job of calming my skin."

Bridget

MY SAVIOUR
Due to use of another product, my skin barrier got absolutely demolished. With constant use of only this product and a rich moisturiser , I was able to reverse that same in a little over a week. Now I now that prevention is definitely better that cute and that this serum will be a staple in my skincare routine!!
