So this post is long overdue. I’ve been long enjoying my Indeed Labs Hydraluron products. In particular the Moisture Jelly. I ordered these last winter prior to the UK brands launch in to the US at Ulta. Lucky for all of y’all you can now get the brand at Ulta. I love the brands affordability and the products are pretty decent. I haven’t been able to venture into every product they make but here’s my take on these two. The Hydraluron Moisture Serum is a thicker gel style hydrating serum. Details per Indeed Labs:
This hydrating hyaluronic acid serum provides extraordinary moisture boosting benefits to the skin. The low molecular weight allows the serum to penetrate beneath the skin’s surface resulting in enhanced hydration and a dewy glow. Filled with powerful anti-aging properties, hydraluron moisture serum replenishes skin’s moisture level while diminishing dull, uneven skin tones. Containing the purest form of hyaluronic acid and red marine algae, hydraluron moisture serum revitalizes skin leaving it smoother, softer, plumper and more radiant looking. This light weight serum is gentle enough to use on all skin types. For optimal results, pair with our hydraluron moisture jelly.
Key Benefits:
- Replenishes skin’s natural short and long-term moisture balance
- Protects your skin from diminished cell turnover by reducing dehydration; which causes premature aging
- Gives an increased boost of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin’s surface, leaving skin with a dewy glow
- Evens out skin tone and gives skin a softer, smoother and silkier texture
- Leaves skin hydrated and glowing
Key Ingredients:
- Hyaluronic Acid A low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that is naturally found in the body and absorbs water like a sponge leaving skin fuller, plumper and glowing. This high-level hydrating substance holds 1000x its weight in water helping skin to retain collagen, increase moisture and enhance elasticity.
- Red Marine Algae A nutrient-rich mineral that stimulates cell turnover and circulation, boosting hyaluronic acid’s ability to penetrate the skin’s surface at a deeper level – a method inspired by Switzerland’s leading skin care clinics.
Ingredients
WATER, PROPANEDIOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CARBOMER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, AHNFELTIA CONCINNA EXTRACT, DISODIUM EDTA, CHLORPHENESIN, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, SODIUM BENZOATE, SORBIC ACID, PHENOXYETHANOL
In essence this is a hyaluronic acid serum. It’s on the thicker end as in it’s a more serum gel style versus a runny liquid. I love it’s simplicity and that it’s fragrance free. We all know why we love hyaluronic acid. It holds 1000x times it’s weight in water, is found naturally in the body and it hydrates increasing skin moisture and elasticity. Indeed Labs uses a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid which I like as it helps penetrate better into the skin that a higher molecular weight version. They also added red marine algae which is also hydrating as well. So this serum will defintely do a great job at hydration. It’s got no fragrance which is my preference. It can feel a little sticky. I liked this mixed into another serum or product for a hydration boost. It’s $24.99 and the tube lasts easily months depending on how heavy handed you are with it.
I will say while the moisture serum is great it’s the Hydraluron Moisture Jelly that steals my heart. This stuff is gold. Details per Indeed Labs:

Filled with hyaluronic acid and PatchH20™ technology, it works to combat dullness, dehydration, dryness and signs of premature aging by providing the skin with instant and long lasting hydration.

Moisture Jelly comes in an airless jar pump. I really love to mix this with everything. It’s also a great hydrating gel layer. I went through a tub of this in record speed last winter. It’s fragrance free and the jelly is not sticky at all. It just has a nice hydration level to it. It’s got glycerin (humectant), trehalose (hydrating plant sugar), urea (hydrating & mild exfoliator), white bird of paradise extract (brighten), serine (amino acid that retains moisture) & high weight hyaluronic acid. I mixed this with retinol to buffer it, I used it as a separate layer. It worked in every manor I used it. It’s fragrance free, not sticky and a great hydrator. It also runs $24.99. This is my all time favorite Indeed Labs product to date. I have some more stuff I’m testing now and look forward to going though more of the line, especially since it’s more accessible here in the US.
