No7 HydraLuminous+ Hyaluronic Acid Serum 2% + 5% Niacinamide — 1 fl oz, Hydrating Barrier-Repair Serum

No7 HydraLuminous+ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a lightweight, daily facial serum that delivers multi-layer hydration while supporting the skin barrier with 5% niacinamide. This concentrated serum combines three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid with a 5% Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) blend and Pollution Shield Technology to help restore and maintain skin moisture. The formula is designed to attract and hold water in different layers of the skin, reduce transepidermal water loss, and provide a smoother, more resilient-looking complexion when used as part of a regular skincare routine.

How quickly will I notice hydration improvements?

Many users report a discernible increase in skin hydration within days of consistent use, with more pronounced results over weeks. Results vary by skin type and regimen, but the formulation is engineered to deliver both immediate and longer-term moisture benefits.

• Uses three sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules to hydrate surface and deeper layers.
• Instrumental and consumer studies show improved hydration vs. comparator serums.
• Daily application morning and evening supports continuous moisture retention.

What does the 5% niacinamide do for my skin?

Niacinamide at 5% helps support the skin’s natural barrier and reduce moisture loss, which complements the hydrating action of hyaluronic acid. It also contributes to an overall healthier-looking surface without being harsh or stripping.

• Helps strengthen the skin barrier to lock in hydration.
• Supports a more even, resilient appearance with regular use.
• Non-irritating concentration suitable for many skin types when introduced gradually.

How should I apply this serum for the best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin morning and night. Use a few drops and smooth across the face, or mix 2–4 drops into your moisturizer to boost hydration; follow with sunscreen in the daytime.

• Use after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils.
• Can be layered under lotion or mixed into moisturizer for added hydration boost.
• Consistency—twice daily—yields the most reliable results over weeks.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or pollution-exposed skin?

The formula includes Pollution Shield Technology to help defend against environmental stressors while providing moisture. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test initially, but the serum’s balanced actives aim for efficacy with tolerability.

• Pollution Shield Technology helps protect the skin surface from environmental aggressors.
• Gentle water-based texture that layers well with other skincare products.
• Patch testing recommended for highly reactive skin types before full-face use.
