Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin lacks water rather than oil, so it can feel tight and look dull, even if your skin is oily. Look for humectants like hyaluronic acid to draw in water, then a moisturiser with ceramides to help your skin barrier hold on to it.

Skin Concern FAQs

What's the difference between dehydrated and dry skin?

Dry skin is a skin type that makes less oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water, and any skin type can be dehydrated, even oily skin. Dry skin needs richer creams and oils; dehydrated skin needs hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

Which serum is best for dehydrated skin?

A hyaluronic acid serum, such as the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum or the Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Follow it with a moisturiser to help keep the hydration in.

Can oily skin be dehydrated?

Yes. Choose lightweight hydrating serums, mists and gel moisturisers rather than heavy creams, and avoid cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight.
