1% Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration — the perfect post-dermaplaning serum

Why post-dermaplaning is the perfect time for hyaluronic acid

Dermaplaning removes the layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz that sits on the surface of your face. That's the whole point, but it also means your skin barrier is temporarily more open and receptive than usual. Applying the right serum immediately after is when the ingredients penetrate most deeply and deliver the best results.

Hyaluronic Acid is the ideal post-dermaplaning ingredient because it's a humectant that it draws moisture from the air into the skin rather than sitting on top of it. On freshly exfoliated skin, it works more deeply and more effectively than it would through an intact surface layer.

The result is skin that looks immediately more plump and radiant, and over time, with regular use, genuinely more even, hydrated, and healthy.

Your daily hydration routine — dermaplaning or not

You don't need to dermaplane to get the most from this serum. Apply 2–3 drops morning and evening after cleansing, before your moisturiser, and it does the same job, drawing moisture into the skin, smoothing texture, and leaving your face feeling soft and balanced throughout the day.

The Kakadu Plum and Licorice Root work gently over time to brighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of pigmentation — consistent daily use compounds the results.

Who this HA serum is made for

This Hyaluronic Acid serum is for anyone whose skin tends toward tightness, dryness, or sensitivity, particularly after exfoliation. If you've ever finished a dermaplaning session and found your skin feeling reactive or dry rather than glowing, this is the missing step.

It's also genuinely useful for anyone who wants a simple, effective daily serum that hydrates without heaviness. The water-light gel texture absorbs quickly, doesn't leave residue, and layers cleanly under any moisturiser or SPF.

With your Dermaplaner: After dermaplaning, apply 2–3 drops on clean, dry skin. Gently smooth across your face and neck to instantly hydrate, calm, and replenish the skin barrier. Follow with moisturiser or ceramide cream to lock in hydration and complete your glow-boosting ritual.

Daily Use: Use morning and evening as part of your everyday skincare routine. Apply to freshly cleansed skin before your moisturiser for visibly plumper, softer, and more radiant skin.

Enriched with Sodium Hyaluronate, Kakadu Plum, Aloe, and Licorice Root, this multi-benefit serum delivers deep hydration while helping reduce redness, even skin tone, and protect against environmental stressors.

Founder Tip: This lightweight HA isn’t just your post-dermaplaning hero—it’s perfect for daily use under makeup or on bare skin days. Its soothing formula makes it ideal for anyone with skin that feels tight, dry, or irritated.
