BYOMA Hydrating Serum - Moisturizing Face Serum

I’ve been using the BYOMA Hydrating Serum for a few weeks now, and my skin absolutely loves it. My skin tends to get dehydrated and dull, especially when I’m spending a lot of time indoors working from home, and this serum gives it an instant boost of hydration without feeling greasy or sticky. It absorbs quickly, layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup, and leaves my skin feeling soft, plump, and refreshed. I also appreciate that it helps support the skin barrier with ceramides and squalane. For the price, the quality is incredibly impressive. This has become a staple in my daily skincare routine!

This serum feels like a big drink of water for my skin- love Byoma products because of their clean ingredients and affordability- a winning duo!! It absorbs pretty quickly, feels silky, and leaves my skin soft and nourished without any greasiness. I reach for it daily and love how balanced and comfortable my skin feels afterward. ⸻ Pros • 💧 Deep hydration – skin feels instantly refreshed and plump. • ✨ Lightweight texture – blends in quickly with no sticky residue. • 🧴 Silky finish – leaves skin smooth and soft. • 🛡️ Strengthens the skin barrier – helps reduce dryness, flakiness, and irritation. • 🌱 Gentle and calming – great for sensitive skin. • 🪞 Plays well with other products – layers easily under moisturizer and sunscreen. ⸻ Cons • I tend to go through this rather quickly, especially when my skin feels dry. Wish it came in a larger size! ⸻ Key Ingredients (in simple terms) • Tri-Ceramide Complex – supports a stronger, healthier skin barrier. • Squalane – lightweight oil that nourishes and locks in hydration without clogging pores. • Glycerin – draws in and holds moisture for long-lasting hydration. ⸻ Overall This serum has become a must-have in my routine. It makes my skin feel hydrated, silky, and soothed every time I use it. If your skin ever feels dry or tight, this is the perfect daily serum to bring it back to life. Highly recommend for all skin types!

This is my favorite Byoma product thus far. Wasn't impressed with the milky toner and mist, but this little thing has been literally saving my poor skin with damaged barrier. I'm trying to repair my barrier at the moment. I have to wash my face once a day, and after cleansing, when I apply basically anything, my skin starts burning and turns red. I learned that applying a gel moisturizer or aloe vera gel is the only thing I can apply as the first step. It's not enough on its own, but it makes my skin plump and hydrated, and I don't turn into an angry tomato. As my second step, I apply this serum. I squeeze the dropper while it's outside the bottle, then dip it into the serum and release it, that way it fills up completely (thanks to one reviewer who recommended this!). Then I mix a large drop of it with 3-4 drops of my toner. It mixes well. This way it's easy to spread the serum when my face is already dry. Then I apply this to my face, and I'm always happy that my skin never reacts to it and quickly absorbs it. It takes 3-5 min for it to fully sink in. It never makes me look like a greasy ball, it just looks natural, makes my skin feel comfortable, soft, and moisturized without any heaviness. Maybe due to my damaged barrier I can't tolerate regular moisturizers. It's like my sensitivity is beyond normal, everything just sits on top of my skin and feels disturbing and irritating. But this serum works amazingly: it's kind of oily (because with just gels I feel dry) but it's also very lightweight. I think it must be those ceramides, cholesterole, and fatty acids ("the golden trio"), because my skin feels so... idk natural and moisturized from the inside? Like it doesn't just sits on top of my skin but actually repairs my lipid barrier? At least that's what I hope for. My skin's getting better every day, but of course it's hard to differentiate between the effects of the serum and my skin's own healing abilities haha. Maybe it just regenerates while I sleep. But I literally can't use any other moisturizer except this serum. I've tried everything from my cabinet, and they all never absorb, irritate my skin, make my rosacea worse, etc. I decided to write a review after applying it for maybe 10th time because I appreciate how my skin feels and looks with it. After the post-cleansing redness goes away, my skin starts to look healthy, even-toned, and hydrated. This is my only savior and the only oil-based product I can use right now and feel like my skin isn't suffocating. The downside is the price and the amount you get. I will wait for some sale or coupon, otherwise it's too pricey :(

This is a wonderful product. I buy it again and again.

This hydrating serum has been a great addition to my routine; I have previously gotten terribly flaky skin with my tretinoin, but since I have been using this as a barrier prior to putting on the tretinoin I have noticed a significant difference in my skin hydration. For the price, I think this is a great product and I will definitely continue to purchase. The only thing that is a little bothersome to me is the scent, although it is subtle it is not the most pleasing.

As an esthetician, I love trying different skincare brands and products so I can stay familiar with what’s out there and understand what my clients are using. I personally have dry, unbalanced skin that also clogs very easily, so finding a hydrating serum that doesn’t cause whiteheads or breakouts can be really difficult for me\. This serum has been amazing. I gives my skin the hydration it needs without clogging my pores or causing pimple. I’m actually ordering my second bottle right now. I would definitely recommend it, especially if your skin is prone to congestion or clogged pores but still needs hydration. Such a great product

I loveeee this serum!! It feels so refreshing and leaves the skin looking glassy. My only complaint is that the small bottle is super small!! After about a week of using this everyday, I’m almost all out! This is using the recommended amount (4 drops). I highly recommend, just be ready to re order pretty frequently!

Product itself is wonderful! The amount of product you get for the price and the size of the bottle is ridiculous. I bought this product less than a month ago, used less daily than recommended, and had to start trying to shake product out after about 2.5 weeks. The dropper doesn’t work (this is my 2nd bottle with this issue), clearly less than half of the bottle is filled with product when you open it out of the box, and it’s priced way to high for how much product you get and the quality of the packaging. This seems to be a problem with SEVERAL Byoma products. I would HIGHLY recommend this if it wasn’t so poorly packaged and I didn’t feel like I was being scammed. You can find product that’s just as good that costs less and has more product. Do better Byoma!!

It was the recovery oil I wanted and accidentally got this instead! Although nice the byoma recovery oil is what really hydrates and leaves my skin feeling and looking amazing

Ich liebe dieses Serum! Es pflegt die Haut gut, versorgt sie mit Feuchtigkeit und zieht schnell ein. auch die Inhaltsstoffe bzw. die Formulierungen sind gut.

Am not sure, if it made any difference to make skin. I will not buy again. The bottle come half full, it's such a disappointment.

Love this! I think it's my 4th bottle now, but 2nd from Amazon. It is true to it's name with hydrating and sorts out all of the dryness on my skin - it hasn't been softer or healthier in ages. There is no tackyness left on your hands or face. Personal I mix into my moisturizer in my hands or put it on before moisturiser. I find that being able to buy a refill instead of always buying full size is so much easier. I would say as an everyday user one bottle lasts 2-3 months.

The serum deserves 20 stars, it’s the best I have EVER used on my skin!!! I took 1 star off the possible 5 as I am done with BYOMA packaging. I love BYOMA products. They are well priced, good quality and fabulous for my dry, damaged skin barrier. They moisturise and repair like no other. However, the packaging lets me down every time. The pumps are ineffective, this one is the worst yet as I have to keep trying to get any and even with a full squeeze it does not hold much. Also you can’t see how much is left as the bottles are always non transparent, lightweight plastic. There is also no way to get the remnants out as the necks of the bottles are always so small. This serum is lovely though and my only let down is that you need to use quite a lot to cover your whole face and neck. The serum is so hydrating and moisturising. Also, it made my skin look dewy, hydrated and glowing. Like all their products, you could wear on bare skin and look healthy and pretty. I am worried it will not last long as I needed to use a fair amount and the dropper will not manage to get all of the product; I imagine it will leave the last 1/3 or so in the bottle unable to be touched. The price is great and if it lasts more than a week I will buy again. Adding to review. I have really bad eczema on my neck which is very sensitive to anything even air! I put this serum on with 0 reaction and it calmed my skin. Means I will use quickly but if it allows me I will add a star to make 5. Still bad packaging but superior product.
