Dehydrated skin: this concentrated serum with hyaluronic acid is autumn’s best-kept secret to deal with the cold

I’m mixed race, with generally normal skin, but as soon as the temperatures drop, it dehydrates quickly, especially on the chin and the T zone. And as I don’t like too rich textures, I’m always looking for this rare product: a light but really effective serum.
When I discovered the Nubiance intense hydration serum, I immediately wanted to test it. The brand is known for its dermatological care designed for all skin tones, particularly dark and mixed skin. Their promise: formulas scientific, safe, and respectful of the skin, even when it does not present any particular concern.

Packaging and texture: clean, practical and without fuss

The bottle, in matte white glass, is very pretty in its simplicity. The design is sober, almost medical, with a blue band that evokes freshness and purity. The white pipette is precise and delivers exactly what you need: three drops are enough for the entire face. The texture is fine, almost watery. No perfume, no sticky film, no glowy effect either, and that’s normal: it’s not an “instagrammable” serum, it’s a serum functional. It penetrates in a few seconds and leaves the skin supple, soothed, with zero shine. What I found astonishing was this ultra-fast absorption: it’s the perfect treatment when you want to hydrate effectively without wasting time in the morning, especially when it’s cold.

The formula: simple, precise and ultra tolerant

Its strength is its short and controlled composition. Inside :

  • of the1% hyaluronic acid in three forms (low, medium and high density) to hydrate on several levels,

  • of the glycerin to retain water in tissues,

  • and peptides which strengthen the skin barrier and improve suppleness.

Nothing superfluous: no perfume, no alcohol, no silicone. It is a formula designed for hydrate, smooth and soothe, without risking reaction or saturation. It’s a bit like a “Swiss army knife” serum that can be used all year round, alone or under any cream.

Before/after effects: more supple, more stable skin

From the first applications, I felt my skin more comfortable. The tightness on my chin disappeared, and my T-zone remained clear, without excess sebum. After a week, I saw the difference: my skin didn’t shine, but it had this natural flexibility that we often lose in winter. No “glow” highlighter style, but a healthy, balanced, plump skin, which honestly is even better in the long run. After several weeks of testing, my complexion is more even, my cheeks softer, and above all: no more feeling of tightness, even in cold weather.

Why choose this one over another?

Because it gets to the point. THE Nubiance intense hydration serum doesn’t try to do everything (and that’s its strength). It moisturizes without shine, soothes without greasing, and is suitable for all skin types. It’s a treatment scientific, minimalist and intelligent, perfect if you want a real effective hydration serum without paying for the marketing of a big brand. At this price, it clearly stands above many much more expensive products, and above all, it fits into all routines, even the simplest.

How do I use it to maximize the effects?

I apply it morning and evening, on clean skin, just after my lotion. Three drops that I warm between the hands, then I tap gently on the face and neck. On slightly damp skin, it penetrates even better. Then, a light cream to seal in the hydration, and that’s it. Under makeup, it’s perfect: the complexion remains clear, the foundation doesn’t mark, and the skin maintains this comfort until the evening.
