Disappointing Product Number 1

Hello My Lovelies,

I've never needed to write a disappointing product post before as up till this point I've loved everything I've tried.
Unfortunately I want to tell you all my thoughts on Hydraluron- I had read so many blog posts about this product and even my hairdresser had told me how great it was that I decided to pay the hefty £24 price tag and give it a go! 


Hydraluron according to their website is "The ultimate daily facial moisture boosting serum that starts where your moisturizer stops.  hydraluron™ contains a pure form of hyaluronic acid, an incredibly hydrating ingredient that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water.  Red marine algae helps with maximum delivery.  The result – better hydrated, moisture nourished, plumped up skin." How ever when I began to use it I noticed my hand started to get an awful allergy to it. My hand became itchy, sore and little bumps appeared on my hand/finger at first I didn't think it was the product and even went to the doctor who prescribed me medication. Then one day I decided to stop using Hydraluron to see if it was that causing the problem, low and behold the skin allergy became less intense and within a month had almost disappeared.

I contacted Indeed Labs and they said that maybe I had an allergy to one of the ingredients in their product, and yes whilst they were very good at telling me what might of gone wrong they weren't very interested in anything else I had to say/ask them. 

It's weird that I had a reaction to this product as I've never had one before to products I've used, but I guess it was just one of those things. I'm also sad that I did react to it as I really wanted to love it.

Boots were great when I went in to explain what had happened, I didn't think they would be interested as I didn't have my receipt but they took it really seriously making sure I was now o.k and gave me a gift voucher for the value of the item- excellent customer service, so thank you Boots!!


Have you had an allergic reaction to Hydraluron or any other products- let me know in the comments!


Till next time,

  1. I had no luck with this either, although thankfully no allergic reaction! Hyaluronic acid just does not work well for me, which is odd considering it's already existing in our bodies. I think it might be just synthetic versions don't play well. I gave my Hydraluron away in the end. Shame this didn't work for you either.

  3. Ive been contemplating buying this for a while, however the price tag kinda puts me off. I also have sensitive skin so after reading this I might pass and try and find a better alternative.
