One of the reasons I adore Auteur's serums is for their highly concentrated and targeted actions. Inside the transparent texture of Auteur Definitive Hyaluron Activator Serum lies potent skincare actives that will revolutionize your complexion.

• Hyaluronic Complex: This complex offers comprehensive and deep hydration composed of five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. By using multiple sizes of molecules, the active can target different actions such as surface dehydration, skin density, and firmness.

• Collagen Regulator Tetrapeptide: Incredibly restores skin suppleness, preventing further collagen breakdown.
• Also, there is Hyalufix™: This active stimulates the natural hyaluronic acid production in the skin. Also, it helps to boost radiance and smooth wrinkles
• Allantoin: A natural, protective ingredient with exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Lastly, Lactic Acid: AHA that perfects the skin's appearance by smoothing out the texture.

My Review

After recently discovering their retinol-based serum (review here) and the Optimising Mask (review here), I was curious to try more. These serums are an investment, but when it comes to getting rapid and visible results, they are not a letdown.

The hyaluronic serum has a nonsticky texture that instantly comforts the skin. Above all, it is suitable for morning and evening use. Also, it can be layered under the other serums. The serum has highly improved my skin texture and elasticity. My jawline is firmer.

I recommend this to all skin types that need a boost in hydration. The serum is at the base of forming a good skincare routine and should be noticed. Also, I love to combine serums for global action.

Although I didn't have deep wrinkles, this hydrating treatment helped smooth out my expression wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet and lion wrinkle) and forehead. It is suitable for all ages and can prevent or correct dehydration and signs of aging.

The definitive hyaluronic serum is a hydrophile product. Therefore, it may not mix well with products containing high silicone, dimethicone, or oil concentrations.

Benefits

• Suitable for all skin types.
• Delivers hydration to the skin.
• Does not clog pores.
• Smooths the texture of the skin.

• Repairs moisture barrier.

My Experience

I have a combination type of skin but in winter it behaves more like dry skin. I usually don't face any issues during summer but with colder weather, my skin gets more prone to acne breakouts. Also, I can't use the products I use in summer during winter. I have tried the products that claim to be best for colder weather but they are too thick to absorb properly in the skin and they make my skin feel sticky. My skin tends to get dull so I have to keep it moisturized all the time. I have larger pores so if I use the wrong product, it gets clogged in my pores and keeps causing breakouts repeatedly.

I used Hydrating B5 Gel day and night as it's so lightweight and has great coverage so even a small amount covers a good amount of area of the skin. After using it for about three weeks, I felt my skin was softer and radiant. The best part about the serum is that the hydration effect does not wear off but stays throughout the day and after using it for a while, it improves the moisture retention ability of the skin. It even helped with decreasing the appearance of pores on my skin. Silymarin CF and Hydrating B5 Gel are staples in my skincare routine.

Also, before applying this serum, I will spray a layer of Sea Vitamin Boost (also from Osea) to enhance the absorption of the serum.

My Review of Osea Hyaluronic Sea Serum

Osea Hyaluronic Sea Serum is a gel serum. It has a thicker texture than regular serums. When applied to the skin, you will quickly feel the cooling and refresh on the skin. The serum quickly penetrates into the skin, leaving a moist film with a light fragrance. After applying Hyaluronic Sea Serum, I immediately felt my skin was smooth and hydrated. My skin becomes succulent as if I had just taken a shower. This hydration lasts all day. Osea Hyaluronic Sea Serum also makes my acne spots less red. I feel it really works for my skin.

Another point that makes me like this Serum is that it has a very eye-catching design. The serum comes in a trendy pastel glass jar. Details of the nozzle are also quite sturdy. After one week of using this Serum, I no longer have flaky skin or irritated skin. My skin is moisturized, comfortable, supple, and radiant. This serum also makes my skin look supple and youthful. I have not experienced any breakouts or irritation. Osea Hyaluronic Sea Serum is a very good moisturizing serum for all skin types, especially during this season.
