Hydrating Serum — Reddit Reviews
by BYOMA
Updated October 22, 2026
Ceramides and glycerin replenish dry, tret-irritated skin; not enough for everyone.
What the community says
A ceramide-and-glycerin serum with squalane, cholesterol, and fatty acids, aimed at dry skin needing more cushion during retinoid routines. It layers easily in a few drops, though some users find hydration underwhelming or skip it during flares.
