What Early Testers Are Saying

    Love this serum. I had a damaged skin barrier and this was so soothing. Doesn't pill under make up. Highly recommend!

    No stickiness. My skin absorbs it completely. In the morning I can feel the hydration kicking in.

Lightweight Hydration That Sinks In

Lightweight Hydration That Sinks In

Your moisturizer can only seal in what’s already there. When your skin is dehydrated, even a rich cream has less moisture to hold onto.

Four humectants (beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and glycerin) attract and hold moisture, while hinokitiol and allantoin help calm the look of redness. This lightweight serum sinks in quickly, leaving skin feeling soft, refreshed and comfortably hydrated.

Dr. Rivers' Signature Antioxidant

Dr. Rivers' Signature Antioxidant

Hinokitiol occurs naturally in the Pacific red cedar, a tree that grows along the coast where Riversol is formulated. Backed by 120 peer-reviewed studies, it is a potent antioxidant that defends skin against daily environmental stress while staying gentle on skin that reacts to almost everything else.

Getting it into a bottle is the hard part. Hinokitiol will not hold its stability in a topical formula, and it took years to solve. Dr. Rivers has formulated with it since the first Riversol product.

FAQ

 

Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum FAQ

How is the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum different from the Anti-Aging Serum, Corrector V2 and Anti-Redness Serum?

The Hydrating Serum is formulated to layer with all three targeted serums. Unlike our three existing serums, this serum is designed to boost moisture and deeply hydrate dry skin.

Do I still need a moisturizer if I use the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum?

Yes. This serum draws water into the skin and your moisturizer helps seal it there. They work best together.

Will this serum pill under makeup or sunscreen?

It shouldn't. The lightweight, silicone-free formula absorbs quickly, and 94% of trial participants agreed it left no residue. Give it a moment to sink in before applying other products.

Where does this go in my routine, and can I use it with my other Riversol serums?

After cleansing and applying water-based serums, apply a dime-sized amount of Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum on slightly damp skin. Follow up with any cream-based serums and moisturizer.

This serum layers well with the rest of the Riversol line. Use in the morning and night.

How do I know if my skin is dry or dehydrated?

Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water and can happen to any skin type, including oily. If your skin feels tight and looks dull even with a rich moisturizer, it is likely dehydrated. Many people have both.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

All Riversol products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.

What is Hinokitiol (Beta-T)?

Hinokitiol (Beta-T) is our signature antioxidant found in the Pacific red cedar. Studied for decades for its natural antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other natural skin-revitalizing properties, hinokitiol helps even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and help correct dark spots.

Will this serum work through winter and indoor heating?

That is when most people need it most. Cold air and indoor heating both pull water from the skin. Layering this under your moisturizer gives that moisture somewhere to stay.

How long before I notice a difference?

Your skin should feel softer and immediately hydrated from the first use. For the look of fine dehydration lines, give it a few weeks. Trial participants used it twice daily for eight weeks.
