Confession: while I do love certain skin products (Origins and Josie Maran Argan Oil come to mind), I never truly believed deep down they could make a difference. Of course they hydrate and provide SPF and do all sorts of wonderful things, but come on, genes are genes. And a ticking clock is a ticking clock.
Until now.
I was first introduced to Kerstin Florian Correcting Hyaluronic Serum on a seriously indulgent day with my darling cousin at the Langham. Over the top? Completely. But oh so appreciated. Every minute.
The facialist told me I had nice skin but it leaned a little to the dry side. She recommended Correcting Hyaluronic Serum for going on prior to my moisturizer. She said it plumps the skin and the hyaluronic acid attracts some serious moisture. Like, 50 times its weight in water moisture. Basically, its whole goal is to help your moisturizer reach its maximum potential.
Have you ever put yours on and it just doesn’t seem to settle in? Me too. This changed all that.
It changed a lot of things, actually. My skin tone is more even, pores are smaller, my day cream literally melts right in. It’s unbelievable! I’ve had two friends ask if I had botox. Ummmmmm no. But I’ll take it as a compliment? Maybe?
So let’s talk price. $88.00. A total splurge, yes, but a tiny amount goes a long way. Your face and neck will be covered in one little pump. I was told a bottle may last up to six months, putting it at roughly $14/month. Not bad at all. Way cheaper and way less scary than botox. 😉
You can find Correcting Hyaluronic Serum at Nordstroms (like you need a reason to go there), and on Amazon too!
So tell me… do you have a favorite skin care product? I’d love to hear all about it in a comment below!

This sounds awesome. I have to moisturize all winter long because of the cold dry air.

I’m a product junkie. I’ll have to look into this one. StriVectin is one of my favorite brands.

I use Hyaluronic Serum under my moisturizer and I agree that it does make a difference! People tell me there’s no way I’m over 40! 🙂

I am a huge fan of moisturizing daily. Our winters are dry here in FL so hydration is key.

I tend to use that beeswax cream they have at Whole Foods. Also expensive and great for dry skin.
That said, I am all for a good splurge and I love both Nordstrom and Amazon so this would be an easy buy!

This would be awesome to add to the skincare routine. I know I could probably use that helping hand for my dry skin.

I’m with you on the “genes are genes” quote. There are some holy grail products that dosen’t make a difference and others that do. I’m glad the Kerstin Florian Correcting Hyaluronic Serum worked for you. My fav product is the Clean and Clear deep clean cream cleanser

I hate to admit that I haven’t been taking the best care of my skin. I use basic drug store stuff, but my favorite is actually Philosophy.

I haven’t ever used moisturizer, so I didn’t know some of it didn’t settle in. That would be a tad bit uncomfy. I’m glad you found a serum you love.

There is no such thing as spending too much on haircare, skincare or dental care. Think of the price per wear 😉
Thank you for this suggestion, I just finished my serum and was thinking of changing to something different. Will be checking this one, and yes your skin has been glowing!
My favorite skincare product is Skin Authority’s daily cleaner. I am intrigued by the Kerstin serum but am wondering …does it have a fragrance?

Hey, Courtney!
I just saw this post as I was browsing through and catching up on your blog (it’s been a crazy couple of weeks, & I’m fighting off bronchitis–UGH). The good news about being couch-bound is…you get to catch up on the bloggie-world! LOL.
Anyway, loved this post and wanted to reach out because you asked for any other recommendations, and I have a few to share. I’ll reach out via FB message to chat more!
Hugs,
Lindsey Petlak
