A Hydraluron Not-Review

If you're a regular reader of blogs, other than my own, then you'll know that Hydraluron by Indeed Labs is the stuff of beauty legend. Once something has received a glowing review from Caroline Hirons, you're looking at sell out stuff. High praise isn't given out lightly by Caroline, and if she rates something highly then you know it's probably good stuff.

Hydraluron  is essentially a sort of serum containing Hyaluronic acid.  You use it in conjunction with all your other skin care products, this isn't to replace your usual serums, you use this underneath your other products but after cleansing and toning.

Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body and keeps your skin sort of...god damn it, if you want to know what Hyaluronic acid is, please read Caroline's post, because she explains it so well I'd only be copying and rephrasing in a more clumsy fashion!

So I've been using this for a good month now, day and night. In terms of use it's simple, a little goes a long way, and it doesn't leave a feeling of anything on the skin, within minutes your skin feels as though you've put nothing on it, which is a good thing, particularly if you are then layering on serums and moisturisers, you don't want to feel like your face is covered in product!

That is pretty much the only good thing I have to say about this stuff though sadly. I don't actually have anything bad to say about it either but I've stopped using it.

The reason I've stopped using it is that my skin has turned horrific. It has slowly been getting worse over the last year or two, really stepping up it's horribleness in the last couple of months and this month my skin is the worst it has ever been in my life.

I'm at my wits end with my skin, but have decided that I just need to stop putting stuff on my skin until I actually have some idea what I'm doing. And I don't. I can't say that the Hydraluron has made my skin worse, in fact I suspect it is rather an unfortunate coincidence that in the month I've been using this my skin has become the worst it's ever been, and adding to that the fact that my skin has been getting progressively worse over the last year or two, I think with or without Hydraluron my skin would still look like this.

I've just reached the stage now where I'm afraid to put anything on my face. I also didn't notice much in the way of any other improvements while using this...but I'm so fixated on the acne, it's no surprise I can't see the good.

I can tell you this though, since I've stopped using it, the skin on my nose is dry as a bone :(

So this is neither a good review nor a bad review, but hopefully I tell you a little bit about it and have referred you to someone who can tell you a lot more and with a lot more authority!
