Currently Obsessed: CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum.
/I don't think I can talk about dry winter skin enough. It is cold out. The cold mixed with the heat of indoors wrecks havoc on the skin causing it to be drier than ever. My skin is normally dry and in the winter it needs extra special care so I am constantly testing products to not only comfort and soother it, but to retain hydration. Well, Chanel has gone and pretty much reinvented hydration with this very advanced new Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum and you guess it, I am obsessed. Well, my skin is, because it is staying hydrated (sans moisturizer even) for 24 hours with just one pump.
Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum uses patented micro-droplet technology to deliver an infusion of hydration into the skin. What this does is keeps it soft, smooth plumped (NO FINE LINES) and replenished all day long.
This patented technology keeps the ingredients from dispersing onto the skin until the precise moment it is dispensed and that is what makes the serum just so unique and effective. Each micro-droplet contains new Camellia Alba OFA (Oleo Fractioned Active Ingredient) which is a concentrated form of Camellia Oil Extract, to visibly plump skin and to help diminish the appearance of fine lines which it honestly does. You can see it within a few minutes of applying and feel it all day long. The refreshing, light as water formula totally hydrates and replenishes the skin immediately and for 24 hours of continuous hydration. If I didn't make moisturizer a part of daily skin care regimen, I would forget to put it on. And in a test, I didn't wear it for a day and did not even need it hydration way -- that is saying a lot for this serum.
CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum is a bit pricey at $110.00 for 1 oz. but it is worth it. I will be repurchasing for sure. Pick it up at chanel.com, specialty stores and fine department stores like Macy's, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales now.
