An active complex 90% derived from 12 medicinal plants

What fundamentally distinguishes this serum from classic formulas is the exceptional proportion of its plant-based active ingredients. While most serums on the market rely on synthetic molecules like hyaluronic acid, Dr. Hauschka Hydrating Serum Plus relies on the combined power of proven medicinal plants, prepared according to the brand's unique methods.

Key active ingredients and their roles

Quince seed extract (Pyrus cydonia seed extract): a benchmark active ingredient for Dr. Hauschka, quince helps regulate skin hydration. Its mucilage forms a protective film on the skin's surface, helping to limit water loss and leaving the skin looking suppler and more comfortable.

Horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense extract): rich in silica, horsetail is traditionally associated with supporting skin structures. It helps the skin look firmer and more toned.

Rose hip extract (Rosa canina fruit extract): a natural source of antioxidants, rose hip helps protect the skin from daily environmental stressors (pollution, UV rays, oxidative stress) that can dull the complexion.

Witch hazel extract (Hamamelis virginiana bark/leaf extract): witch hazel is an iconic plant in natural cosmetics, renowned for its purifying and soothing properties. It helps refine the appearance of skin texture and leaves a fresh, comfortable finish.

Marshmallow extract (Althaea officinalis root extract): a plant with recognized softening properties, marshmallow helps soothe sensations of discomfort and makes the skin feel softer to the touch.

Prickly pear extract (Opuntia ficus-indica stem extract): this active ingredient helps strengthen the appearance of the skin barrier and leaves the skin looking more resistant to external factors.

Lady's mantle extract (Alchemilla mollis extract), blackthorn fruit extract (Prunus spinosa fruit extract), daisy extract (Bellis perennis flower extract), acerola extract (Malpighia punicifolia fruit extract): these complementary actives contribute to a radiant complexion and a more uniform appearance of the skin.

Sandalwood extract (Santalum album wood extract): a precious and soothing aromatic note, sandalwood also contributes to a refined sensory texture.

Propolis (propolis cera): from the hive, propolis helps keep the skin looking healthy and protected.

A sensation of immediate comfort, even for sensitive skin

FAQ - Dr. Hauschka Hydrating Serum Plus

Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is designed to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. Soothing active ingredients (marshmallow, witch hazel) and the absence of aggressive synthetic ingredients make it a particularly well-tolerated treatment. In case of sensitivity to natural essential oils, test on a small area before full use.

How does it differ from a classic hyaluronic acid serum?

Where synthetic hyaluronic acid serums rely on a single humectant molecule, Dr. Hauschka Hydrating Serum Plus relies on a complex of 12 medicinal plants covering several mechanisms of action: hydration, antioxidant protection, soothing, and radiance enhancement. A more comprehensive approach, entirely of natural origin.

Can it be used under makeup?

Yes. Its light texture and quick absorption capacity make it an ideal base under makeup. Apply the serum, let it absorb for a few minutes, then apply your usual day cream and makeup.

How does it fit into a Dr. Hauschka routine?

The serum is used after toner (or floral water) and before day or night care. It acts as a concentrated step between cleansing and final hydration, to amplify the effectiveness of the overall routine.
