What Else You Need to Know: When used regularly, this serum is an effective means of reducing the look of wrinkles caused by dehydration. Short-chain molecules are able to penetrate into the skin and replenish moisture reservoirs for the long term. Long-chain hyaluronic molecules provide immediate intensive hydration to the surface layers of the skin to give a refreshing effect.

As an aesthetic doctor with a background in anti-inflammatory medicine, Dr. Sturm is committed to treating the skin with scientifically-proven ingredients and non-aggressive natural extracts. The three pillars of Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics—hydration, boosting the skin’s natural barrier function, and reducing the visible signs of irritation—help to promote healthy skin that glows from within over time.
