Face Reality HydraRemedy Gel Serum — multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum for deep, lasting hydration
Size: 1.7 oz
A professional-grade hydration serum featuring four distinct forms of hyaluronic acid alongside beta-glucan, ceramide NP, and a prebiotic complex. HydraRemedy doesn't just add moisture — it delivers it at multiple depths in the skin simultaneously, seals it in with ceramides, and supports the microbiome to keep skin balanced long after application. One of the most comprehensively formulated hydration serums available at any price point.
Key benefits
- Four forms of hyaluronic acid hydrate at multiple depths simultaneously
- Beta-glucan provides intense, lasting hydration and calms inflammation
- Ceramide NP repairs and strengthens the skin barrier
- Prebiotic complex (inulin, alpha-glucan oligosaccharide) supports microbiome balance
- Lactobacillus ferment adds probiotic benefit for resilient, healthy skin
- Xylitylglucoside complex locks in surface moisture for hours
- 100% acne-safe — compatible with all Face Reality treatment products
Best for
All skin types including oily, acne-prone, dry, dehydrated, and post-treatment skin. One of the few serums I recommend across every skin type in my studio because hydration is foundational to every skin concern — from acne to aging to rosacea.
How to use
Apply 2-4 drops to cleansed skin while still slightly damp, morning and evening. Press gently into skin — do not rub. Allow to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying moisturizer. Applying on damp skin significantly boosts the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid complex.
Jasmine's note
“Dehydration is the most underdiagnosed skin issue I see. Clients come in thinking they have oily skin when really their skin is dehydrated and overproducing oil to compensate. What makes HydraRemedy stand out from every other hyaluronic acid serum I've tried is the four-form HA complex — it's not just one type sitting on the surface, it's hydrating at every level of the skin at once. Add the ceramide and prebiotic complex and you have a serum that genuinely transforms how skin feels and behaves within days.”
Key ingredients
- Beta-Glucan — one of the most powerful hydrating and anti-inflammatory ingredients available; holds up to 15x its weight in water and calms redness and irritation simultaneously
- Sodium Hyaluronate — standard molecular weight HA that hydrates the upper layers of the skin
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer — cross-linked HA that forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin surface for long-lasting hydration
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate — acetylated form that binds more strongly to the skin and stays hydrating longer than standard HA
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate — low molecular weight HA that penetrates deepest into the skin for hydration at the cellular level
- Ceramide NP — identical to the ceramides found naturally in the skin barrier; repairs and strengthens the barrier to prevent moisture loss
- Lactobacillus Ferment — probiotic ferment that supports a balanced, resilient skin microbiome
- Inulin & Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide — dual prebiotic complex that feeds beneficial skin bacteria
- Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol & Xylitol (Aquaxyl complex) — next-generation moisture-locking complex that strengthens the skin's water channels and prevents transepidermal water loss
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root) — calms redness and soothes reactive or inflamed skin
- Madecassic Acid & Asiatic Acid — active centella asiatica compounds that reduce inflammation and support barrier repair
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — soothes, heals, and supports skin hydration
- Bisabolol — chamomile-derived calming ingredient that reduces sensitivity
- Arnica Montana Flower Extract — anti-inflammatory botanical that reduces redness and supports healing
- Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract — brightening botanical that supports even skin tone
Frequently asked questions
Why does this have four forms of hyaluronic acid?
Different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid work at different depths. Standard sodium hyaluronate hydrates the surface. Hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate is small enough to penetrate deeper. Sodium acetylated hyaluronate binds more firmly to the skin and lasts longer. Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer forms a surface film that seals moisture in. Using all four simultaneously means the entire skin is hydrated — from the deepest layers to the surface — in a way that a single-form HA serum simply can't achieve.
What is beta-glucan and why is it better than hyaluronic acid alone?
Beta-glucan is derived from oats and is one of the most clinically proven hydrating and anti-inflammatory ingredients in skincare. It holds significantly more water than hyaluronic acid by weight, penetrates deeply, and has meaningful calming effects on inflamed or reactive skin. Adding beta-glucan to a HA serum takes hydration from good to exceptional — it's why this serum feels and performs differently from standard HA serums.
Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Absolutely — this is one of my top recommendations for oily and acne-prone clients specifically. Dehydrated skin overproduces oil to compensate for lack of water, so adding proper hydration often reduces oiliness over time. Every ingredient in HydraRemedy is acne-safe and non-comedogenic. Many of my oiliest clients have seen their skin balance out after 3-4 weeks of consistent use.
What is the Aquaxyl complex and what makes it special?
Aquaxyl is a patented complex of xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol, and xylitol derived from sustainably sourced wood sugars. It works differently from hyaluronic acid — instead of attracting water from the environment, it strengthens the skin's own water transport channels (aquaporins) and reinforces the proteins that prevent water from evaporating out of the skin. The result is hydration that stays put even in dry conditions — particularly valuable in Los Angeles's variable climate.
