It has no added fragrance which is a great plus point. But it does have a scent to it. The smell and texture are very similar to The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.

This product is exceptionally lightweight and sinks into the skin in just a few pats. It gives a semi matte finish without stickiness, greasiness or any streaking. Unlike The Ordinary’s Niacinamide it doesn’t ball up, so that was surely a welcome change!

Loveisderma Hydramax Serum Review - Indications and directions of Use

Loveisderma: Hydramax Serum| Indications and Directions of Use

After application the skin feels pretty comfortable, not overly laden with a coat of product that often is the case with thicker serums. I have a combination skin type and live in a relatively warmer climate so this serum suffices for my skin type. But folks with extremely dry skin or during the winter this might not feel moisturizing enough.

I generally use a moisturizer and sunscreen on top of this in the mornings while using this in my AM routine. On the days I want to use this in my PM routine I use this after the cleanser & toner. This product layers well and in times when I have tried to wear makeup over it the Foundation/ BB Cream/ Powder Foundation all sit very comfortably on top.

Pros:

  • Lightweight Texture
  • Thoughtful packaging

Cons:

  • Moderately hydrating – wont suffice for dry skin.
  • Not easily available in India

Loveisderma Hydramax Serum | Final Thoughts

Closing Thoughts:

This is a gentle and moderately moisturizing serum. It will work for the younger folks who are beginners in creating a skincare regimen. Mature skin and dry skin will need additional support of moisturizing products because this by itself wont be enough.

This is also an ideal formula to add to products like foundation to make it thinner or sheer because this is transparent and very easily absorbed.

If you have tried this I would love to know your thoughts and also let me know the Serums you guys are enjoying. Check out some of the other LOVEISDERMA products I have tried here & here. Also find me on Instagram and lets discuss Beauty.
