- 6 Face Serums for Dry Skin That Are Hydration Superheroes
Formulated with a higher concentration of ingredients, serums are often a lighter consistency than a moisturizer and can boost hydration when layered underneath cream or when mixed in with foundation. They’re incredibly versatile and can target a wide range of skin needs. If your skin is dry or dehydrated, serums can reintroduce some of that lost moisture to create a dewy, hydrated complexion. But not all formulas are created equal. Below, we’re sharing some of the best hydrating serums for dry skin that you won’t be able to stop using once you start.
L’Oréal Paris Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum
With 1.5% hyaluronic serum, this hydrating serum can quench the thirst of even the driest skin. It absorbs quickly into the skin and preps and plumps it for the ultimate glow-up.

SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier
Another hyaluronic acid favorite, the H.A. Intensifier is specifically intended for dehydrated skin. Not only does it work to hydrate and soothe the skin with licorice root and purple rice, it also works to smooth the look of lines for an anti-aging effect.
Glossier Super Bounce
Super Bounce contains 2% Hyaluronic Acid Complex and pro-vitamin B5 to help boost and hydrate dull skin. Not to mention, it absorbs into the skin extremely quickly and is perfect for makeup prep.

CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum
For intense hydration at an affordable price, try the CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum. This contains vitamins, hyaluronic acid and three ceramides to guarantee moisture retention and protect the skin’s barrier.

Kiehl’s Hydro Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate
Breathe new life into your dry skin with this liquid-to-serum formula that can offer intense hydration. Formulated with a potent complex of plant-based glycerin and shiso leaf extract, the concentrate can help youthfully plump the look of skin, smooth the appearance of fine lines and rough texture and correct the signs of dehydration.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Face Serum
This oil-free serum doesn’t mess around when it comes to hydration. The formula is rich with hyaluronic acid and aquabioryl, known to replenish moisture-loss with water and form a protective film over skin. Of course, the brand’s fortifying and soothing Mineralizing Spa Water also makes a cameo for an extra burst of antioxidants and nourishing minerals. Witness your dry skin become balanced, dry patches smoothed, and dehydration lines visibly plumped.
