Discover how to differentiate your skin type and how OhMyKoko's ultra-hydrating serum can help you restore its natural balance.
Does your skin feel tight or dull even though you use cream every day?
The problem may not be the cream itself, but rather that you are treating your skin's specific needs incorrectly.
Let's find out if your skin is dry or dehydrated , and how to restore its natural comfort.
The skin, your best protective barrier
The skin is one of our most powerful defense barriers.
When your skin doesn't receive adequate nutrition (dry skin) or doesn't maintain optimal hydration levels (dehydrated skin), its barrier function weakens and it no longer provides effective protection.
Dehydrated skin is very common and is usually due to a lack of water. In many cases, it's a temporary condition caused by an improper routine or the use of products that don't deeply hydrate.
Dry skin, on the other hand, is a skin type, not a temporary condition. It lacks natural oils (sebum) and requires ongoing cosmetic care to nourish and restore it.
In summary:
-
Dry skin lacks lipids.
-
Dehydrated skin lacks water.

Factors that aggravate dryness and skin dehydration
- Aging: With age, the production of natural oils decreases.
- Harsh products: Many soaps or cleansers remove protective lipids.
- Hot water or intense exfoliations: damage the skin barrier.
- Dry, cold or windy weather: direct enemies of hydration.
- Heating or heat sources: reduce ambient humidity.
- Medications: Some medical treatments can alter the barrier function.
You are more likely to suffer from dry skin if:
-
You are over 40 years old.
-
You frequently swim in chlorinated pools.
Your ally: the ultra-hydrating microbiome-boosting serum
OhMyKoko's Ultra-Hydrating Serum combines science and nature to restore vitality and elasticity to dry or dehydrated skin.
Hyaluronic acid: deep hydration
Capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water , hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin from within, smoothing wrinkles and strengthening the skin barrier.
Plant squalane: nutrition and repair
Natural emollient that restores the lipid barrier and retains moisture without clogging pores. It also improves radiance and protects against hyperpigmentation.
Natural probiotics and prebiotics: microbiome balance
They strengthen the skin's defenses (+190%) and maintain the skin's biodiversity, key to slowing premature aging.
Saccharide isomerate: long-lasting hydration
Biomimetic active ingredient with high affinity for the skin that stimulates the genes responsible for hydration (filaggrin, loricrin, hyaluronan synthetase 3, acid sphingomyelinase).
