L’Oréal’s cult hyaluronic acid serum is a saviour for dehydrated skin – and it has 50% off right now
A bargain too good to miss, this is how to get your hands on the product
Having spent the better part of a year in lockdown, it’s safe to say our make-up has taken a backseat and skincare has become our everyday pursuit.
As our social plans have been restricted and we’ve become cooped up indoors, there’s now more time than ever to do a face mask or have a mini spa day at home.
However, it’s not all been relaxing – the blustery winter weather, hours upon hours spent in central-heated rooms and the dreaded maskne (breakouts brought on from the trapped humidity thanks to wearing face coverings), mean your skin may have seen better days.

One ingredient that many are adding to their routines is hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains moisture to treat dehydrated complexions. It plumps and smooths skin to leave it looking healthy.
Thankfully L'Oréal has a serum packed with exactly that, and, best of all, it’s currently on sale, with 50 per cent off.
Ahead we’ve got everything you need to know about the product and why it’s worth bagging a bargain while it’s still available.

L'Oréal Paris hyaluronic acid serum revitalift filler: Was £24.99, now £11.60, Amazon.co.uk
This pipette dropper bottle is packed with hyaluronic acid, a molecule that can hold 1,000 times its weight in water. While it’s produced naturally in the skin, as we get older our supply of it decreases, so if you feel your face is looking a little lacklustre, regular use of this non-exfoliating acid is said to keep your skin in tip-top condition.
Designed to be applied after cleansing and before moisturising, it can intensely hydrate, smooth and plump skin, without leaving any greasy or sticky residue behind.
Don’t just take our word for it: it has 6,223 reviews and an almost five-star rating from Amazon shoppers.
One reviewer said, “Probably the best skincare product in my collection. Skin looks and feels much more hydrated and awake if applied before foundation... it gives you a fresh glow.”
It’s unlikely to be on offer for long, so you’ll need be quick to ensure you don’t miss out on the bargain.
