If you don’t already use a serum as part of your skincare routine, you could be missing out. Whether you’re looking to treat a specific skin issue or want to supercharge your skincare with certain ingredients, it only takes a few extra seconds to carry out this step but it can make a big difference, particularly if you have dry or dehydrated skin.
And one serum in particular has impressed hundreds of shoppers.

Suitable for all skin types, the Facetheory's plumping serum has plenty of five-star reviews, with some even calling it ‘the best serum they have ever tried.’
But how much does it cost? And what kind of difference could it make to your skin? Keep reading to find out more…
Coming with its very own pipette to make application a breeze, the Hyaluronic Acid 2% Plumping Serum is priced at £22 for a 30ml bottle.

And the serum itself has a somewhat milky consistency to it, with it also feeling incredibly lightweight and silky on the skin.
Simply apply it to damp skin, since hyaluronic acid products work much better on damp rather than dry skin, after you’ve cleansed and toned but before you’ve applied your moisturiser.
Plus, you can even apply this in the morning or before bed – or both – to get the most out of it.
What ingredients does it include?
As you might expect from the name, the serum includes 2% hyaluronic acid, with hyaluronic acid being a bit of a wonder ingredient in the skincare world.

If you struggle with dry or dehydrated skin or find that your skin can feel that bit tighter in extreme weather conditions – such as a summer heatwave or the below freezing temperatures of winter – a hyaluronic acid serum or product could really help to add much needed moisture back into the skin.
Hyaluronic acid essentially works by drawing moisture into the skin, instead of simply sitting on top of it and this results in softer, more moisturised skin.
Many of us might even have dehydration wrinkles, particularly if we’re under the age of 40. And what this means is that you might have noticed some deeper wrinkles, especially on your forehead that aren’t technically signs of ageing but are instead because your skin is that parched and crying out for moisture that it’s showing as wrinkles.

I personally had this exact thing happen in my mid twenties and adding a hyaluronic acid and a few more hydrating products into my skincare made the world of difference.
So, if you notice that some of your fine lines or wrinkles look considerably better once you’ve applied a moisturising product, it could be that your skin is simply shouting out for moisture.
The second key ingredient in the Facetheory serum is pink rock rose extract, which is what you would call an antioxidant. And it’s ideal for those of us with sensitive or inflamed skin.
It helps to calm the skin, with it working hand in hand with the hyaluronic acid to leave your skin looking nourished and soothed.

What are customers saying?
One happy shopper took to the Facetheory website to share their thoughts. They admitted: “Best serum I've used. Super hydrating and leaves your skin glowing. Wouldn't use another serum now. If your skin is in need of hydration this is the one.”
Another added: “I’m recommending this to everyone. Feels like my skin has had a big drink every time I use it. Instant results and layers beautifully under the night cream. Just gorgeous!”
While a third exclaimed: “The best product ever for hydration I noticed the difference in my skin within one week."
