Hydration is a non-negotiable in any skincare routine, and hyaluronic acid serums is the gold standard for plump, soft, and glowing skin. But which ones are worth the splurge, and which deliver results at a more affordable price point? Let’s compare a budget-friendly option with a luxe favourite.
Budget
Kiehl’s Ultra Pure High-Potency Serum 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid
This is a more recent discovery from Kiehl’s and as with most things from this brand, it doesn’t disappoint. This serum has a gel-like texture that’s easy to apply without any stickiness or annoying residue.
My skin is left suitably hydrated and plumped.
And:
This serum prides itself on being a pure formula of just 7 ingredients which is great for those with sensitive skin.
This plays well with other products too.
Blowout
Zelens Hyaluron Intense Hydro Plumping Serum
This is one that I’ve used consistently over the years because it never fails to deliver the most impressive hydration. Full disclosure, I am a bit of a skincare magpie at times, but I always return to this one because it delivers significantly noticeable long-lasting hydration. My skin is left plumped, smooth, soft and silky that improves with use. It just soaks right in without any residue …just leaves smooth moist skin…A genuine ‘skinvestment’
And:
A blend of three types of pure hyaluronic acids – at different molecular weights for increased efficacy.
This also plays well with other products so perfect if you’re into layering.
Silky lightweight texture.
If you’re after a simple, effective, and gentle serum, Kiehl’s Ultra Pure Hyaluronic Acid is a solid budget buy. But if you’re ready to invest in long-lasting, indulgent hydration that transforms your skin over time, Zelens Hyaluron Intense is the serum to splurge on. Either way, your skin will be happy!
