Review: How Phykology’s 5 Hyaluronic Serum helped give me glass skin
Getting “glass skin” isn’t an easy feat. Seeing people on Instagram with faces like glazed donuts made me feel like my textured, dull skin could never get that glowy, polished look. That all changed when I added a new serum to my routine. This is how the new Phykology 5 Hyaluronic Serum helped give me glass skin — something I thought I’d never get.
Seaweed = Glass skin & more!
Phykology products contain a high content of Seaweed Extract. The seaweed used in their products, including this serum, contain a special ingredient called Fucoidan. Fucoidan is an ingredient well-known for its highly moisturizing effect, even superior to that of Hyaluronic Acid.
Of course, it’s not as simple as just moisturizing and making your skin look slick like seaweed. Seaweed is actually also highly nourishing for the skin in several ways, due to its high content of:
- Zinc
- Vitamin C
- and Amino Acids (to name a few!)
These ingredients help calm redness, brighten complexion, and plump up fine lines and wrinkles! So with seaweed, you can get a glass skin effect AND other added skin health benefits. Pretty amazing for just one ingredient, right?
Five Types of Hyaluronic Acids
The 5 Hyaluronic Serum also contains five types of molecular weight Hyaluronic Acids. Hence, the ‘5’ in its name.
Hyaluronic Acid comes in many different shapes, with different abilities to penetrate our skin on different levels. If your Hyaluronic Acid serum just contains one type, you might just get temporary surface hydration. But not with this serum! With five different molecular weights, this serum hydrates on the surface for that glossy glow, and also in the deeper skin layers for long-lasting moisture.
Along with Seaweed Extract and Hyaluronic Acid, this serum also contains Niacinamide, (everyone’s favorite for calming and brightening) and fine-line reducing Adenosine. These are the main ingredients that answer the question: how Phykology’s 5 Hyaluronic Serum helped give me glass skin.
Juicy & Plumping
After gently exfoliating my skin with the Phykology Seaweed Bubble Clay Mask, I pack on the moisture with a toner and the Phykology 5 Hyaluronic Serum. This serum is what really binds it together — this is the Hyaluronic Acid serum of my dreams! It’s juicy, slippery, calming, and plumps up my skin like no other.
I use this every morning, to transform my face from looking tired and dull to looking like I just had an expensive facial. After continual use, I realized that I can now achieve the highly coveted glass skin look. I’ve tried Hyaluronic Acid serums in the past to no avail. So, I attribute my glass skin success this time to the benefits of seaweed in skincare!
Who should use this serum?
Anyone! This is really the ultimate glass-skin serum for skincare enthusiasts who have tried everything. Those with dry or dehydrated skin will love it even more! Plumping, brightening, antiaging, AND glow-giving, this is the best Hyaluronic Acid serum for glass skin.
