La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum

Description

Hyalu B5 is a hydration and repair serum, and it is one of the few products that genuinely suits every skin type, from oily to very dry.

It uses two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, one that holds water at the surface and a smaller one that reaches deeper, together with vitamin B5 and madecassoside to repair and calm. The result is skin that looks plumper and fuller within days, with fine dehydration lines noticeably softened.

Dehydration is more common in Kenya than people assume. Air conditioning, long hours in the car, dry Nairobi weather in the middle of the year, and over-washing oily skin all pull water out. Dehydrated skin looks dull, feels tight, and in oily types produces more oil to compensate, which is why the skin can be greasy and flaky at the same time.

Apply a few drops to damp skin morning and evening, then seal with a moisturiser. Applying hyaluronic acid to dry skin in a dry environment is counterproductive, so the damp step matters.

It layers safely with everything, and it is particularly useful alongside retinol or acids, where it offsets the dryness those cause without reducing their effect.
