One of the latest skincare trends to hit TikTok is hyaluronic acid stacking, which involves layering several different hyaluronic acid-based skincare products on top of each other to help boost the hydrating and plumping effects on your skin. The result is meant to give you a more radiant, youthful glow that penetrates multiple skin layers.
However, if you don’t feel like giving your usual skincare routine a complete overhaul, there’s one product that gives you three levels of hyaluronic acid hydration in one handy serum, The IRÄYE Radiance Firming Serum With Lymphactive, £100 here, might be on the pricey side, but shoppers think its worth every penny after it gave their skin an “instant change”.
IRÄYE’s serum is a firming and brightening serum that contains three different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid that penetrate deep into your skin, working across multiple layers to give it an intense boost of hydration. It acts like one big drink of water for dry, tight and tired skin, giving it new life.
As well as its ultra-hydrating benefits, the serum also actively firms, brightens and contours your skin, leaving it looking sculpted and smooth. Its ingredients list includes bio-retinol, which encourages natural collagen and elastin production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone, and kakadu plum extract, which is the world’s richest source of vitamin C.
It supports your skin’s lymphatic system to help purify your complexion and boost skin function as well as protecting your skin’s delicate structure from inflammation and toxins. Everything from your microcirculation to your nutrient uptake and immune response are enhanced thanks to this handy serum, leaving you with that just-had-a-facial look.
We know that dropping £100 on some skincare is a splurge, but the reviews speak for themselves when it comes to how effective the serum is. One shopper wrote: “Been using serum for two weeks, and my husband asked me if I had done something to my face!! Said absolutely nothing, the only difference to my skincare regime is IRÄYE serum! Love the texture and obviously the results!”
Whilst another said: “I have noticed an instant change in my skin's health with IRÄYE - it feels much softer, more hydrated and generally more radiant. My skin is oily-dehydrated and it works just as well on my mum's combination-mature skin. No irritation even when my skin is feeling sensitive. An incredible product.”
A third wrote: “Not only is the product gorgeous and great to see on my countertop, but Iraye has results to match. Definitely felt a difference in both hydration and puffiness in my skin, and this is only after 1 week of use. Looking forward to topping up with the refills!”
If you want to try the product out before you commit to a full size 30ml bottle, you can also pick up a mini 15ml bottle for £60 here, which will let you see the results for yourself and decide if it works for you. You can also pick up refills at a slightly lower cost to top up your bottle, cutting down on waste and saving you money in the process.
Another of our favourite hyaluronic acid serums is Medik8’s HYDR8 B5 Intense, £59 here, which helps replenish and recharge tired and dry skin in just 24 hours. It’s been fortified with superfood antioxidants and Natural Moisturising Factors to help boost your skin’s hydration, and has a soft, non-sticky formula that leaves skin feeling silky soft. With summer on its way, your skin is going to need to step up its hydration game, and hyaluronic acid is the best way to do it.
