Dry & Dehydrated Skin Products

Avoid the irritating, tightening, and redness-inducing effects of dry, dehydrated skin with our expertly formulated range of hydration heroes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to treat dry skin on the face?

Treating dry skin starts with a gentle, nourishing routine. Use a mild cleanser that won’t strip the skin, followed by a hydrating serum and a rich moisturiser to lock in moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and squalane to replenish the skin barrier. For added care, incorporating a hydrating mask a few times a week can provide an extra boost of comfort.

What causes dry skin?

Dry skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including cold weather, harsh skincare products, over-washing, or naturally low oil production. Environmental changes, age, and certain skin conditions can also play a role. Supporting your skin with barrier-strengthening ingredients and avoiding overly stripping routines can make a big difference.

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin is a skin type that naturally produces less oil, often feeling rough, tight or flaky. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a temporary condition caused by a lack of water in the skin. You can have oily skin and still experience dehydration.

To care for dry skin, look for rich, nourishing creams with ingredients like squalane and ceramides. For dehydrated skin, focus on hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which help attract and retain moisture.

Understanding the difference means you can choose the right products to restore comfort, balance and long-lasting hydration.

What skincare is best for dehydrated skin?

Dehydrated skin means it’s lacking water, not oil. To help, use products that add and lock in moisture. Look for ingredients called humectants, like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. These work by pulling water into your skin to keep it hydrated. 

A great example is Medik8’s Hydr8 B5 Intense, a powerful serum that brings moisture into the skin and holds it there, helping your skin feel soft, smooth and full of bounce again.

What is the best moisturiser for dry skin?

For dry skin, choose a moisturiser that offers deep hydration and helps repair the skin barrier. Look for rich, nourishing formulas containing ingredients like squalane, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and shea butter, all of which help to replenish moisture and lock it in.

Medik8’s Total Moisture is a deeply hydrating moisturiser, expertly formulated to quench dry skin with a blend of barrier-boosting lipids and moisture-retaining humectants. Its luxurious yet fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal for daily use, helping to restore comfort, smoothness, and long-lasting hydration to dry or dehydrated skin.

Is it better to hydrate or moisturise?

Hydration and moisturisation go hand in hand. Hydrating products deliver water to the skin, while moisturisers help lock it in and prevent it from evaporating. For optimal skin health, it’s best to do both: apply a hydrating serum first, followed by a moisturiser that supports your skin barrier.
