I have dry skin that tends to feel tight, but even in the depths of winter, this product alone solved my deep dryness issues. It's not too heavy or sticky, which is why I decided to repurchase. I always check ingredients when buying cosmetics, and while this does have some caution ingredients, it's not bad overall. I have super sensitive skin, but I've been using it without any problems. This time, I bought two and gave one to my mom!
ConsThe volume is too small. I wish they would release a larger size.

The compact size makes it convenient to carry around. It's perfect for super sensitive and dry skin.
ConsNothing particularly bad to mention. Perhaps the amount feels a bit small for the price? Other than that, I haven't found any issues yet.

In summer, just two steps of essence and emulsion are enough, but come winter, I need to increase to toner + essence + cream + night pack to build a solid foundation of moisture. Cetaphil is famous for body moisturizing, so I had high expectations, and true to the ads, its hydrating power is top-notch! • Texture: Although it's called a serum, the texture is closer to a cream. That's why I apply it after my toner and essence. • Scent: If you consciously smell it, there's a slight hint of the Cetaphil body emulsion scent, but it's practically fragrance-free. It's true to being a gentle cosmetic that doesn't use harmful ingredients or animal-derived materials! • Hydration: I highly, highly recommend this to those struggling with deep dryness! I've really suffered a lot from dehydrated skin. When I didn't understand deep dryness well, I thought I just needed to moisturize the skin's surface, so I slathered on my mom's rich creams, but it didn't address the deep dryness. After spending several winters struggling with dehydrated skin, I realized that it's more important to focus on the basics and hydrate from within rather than just the surface! When I layer my skincare starting from toner and apply the Optimal Hydration Serum before cream, I don't feel any deep dryness!! As the name suggests, it feels like the hydration lasts for 48 hours.
Cons• Packaging: While the pump bottle is hygienic, it's disappointing that you can't check how much product is left. Given the small volume, it might run out quickly, so it would be nice if we could use it all up cleanly without leaving any behind.
Tip• How to use: In winter when I struggle with deep dryness, I apply it all over my face before cream. The container is small, so I carry it to work and apply a small amount to my eyes and neck whenever it feels dry. Now that I'm at an age where dryness leads to wrinkles... In other seasons, it might be good to use as an eye cream. Hydration is crucial for preventing wrinkles, and I'm really satisfied with this product's moisturizing power.

After application, I felt an immediate boost in skin elasticity. I was initially disappointed when I experienced some deep dryness shortly after applying it in the evening. I went to bed expecting severe dryness in the morning, but surprisingly, I woke up without any tightness :) It seems to maintain a good balance of oil and moisture. Although I felt a slight burning sensation and tightness at first, it quickly subsided, which I appreciated.
ConsI was disappointed that the product only comes in a 30ml size. The opaque packaging makes it impossible to see how much product is left. Due to my home environment and the season, I experienced dryness sooner than expected, which was unfortunate. This is likely because my house is extremely dry.

As it claims to provide 48-hour hydration, it definitely seems to combat deep dryness effectively. While it's called a serum, the texture feels more like a cream. However, it doesn't leave a greasy feeling after application. If you adjust the order of application well, it's perfect for dry skin like mine!
ConsIt has that distinctive Cetaphil scent. If you haven't used other Cetaphil products before, it might be challenging, but if you consider it as a trade-off for fewer harmful ingredients, it's not too bad. I didn't notice any deep dryness, but perhaps due to the sudden dry weather, my skin looks a bit dehydrated in the mirror. My skin is extremely dry to begin with, but this still works better than most other serums! The quantity is really small. For a product used in one or two pumps, this size seems... inadequate? It's barely larger than travel-size. Considering the price, I'm not sure if I'd buy it with my own money.
TipUsually, after cleansing, I apply toner, ampoule, and then cream. With this product, I applied the serum after the toner. Since my ampoule is quite watery, it felt odd applying it after the richer Cetaphil. I think it would work best if you apply all your light, non-oily skincare first, and then use this right before your cream!

I was on the hunt for a gentle product that could tackle both deep and surface dehydration when I stumbled upon a real gem - the Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Serum. What a find! At 30ml for $25, this hydration serum is quite reasonably priced. The kicker? It maintains a moisture barrier for a whopping 48 hours. Impressive! Its secret weapon? Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that draws moisture deep into the skin. Plus, glycerin and shea butter keep your skin plump and hydrated, while vitamin E soothes. It's a multi-tasking marvel! Free from 12 harmful ingredients and animal-derived materials, it's even non-comedogenic certified. Perfect for those with sensitive skin or prone to clogged pores when using intense hydrating products. The texture? Divine! Despite its 48-hour hydration claim, it's surprisingly lightweight. When I applied it to my parched hands, it felt like a burst of hydration - light, moisturizing, and refreshing. It has a soft, creamy texture that absorbs beautifully, leaving your skin feeling deeply quenched. Best part for me? It's fragrance-free and contains no artificial colors. As a pregnant woman cautious about what I use, this was a huge relief. The results? After just three days, my rough skin became noticeably smoother. Using it morning and night, followed by a moisturizer and mist, I woke up to beautifully soft, smooth skin. Remember, when your skin barrier is compromised, even the fanciest products won't work. That's why this slightly acidic, deeply hydrating serum is so crucial - it helps maintain a healthy pH balance and strengthens your skin barrier. I've always loved Cetaphil's body products, but I had no idea their skincare would be this amazing. I'm completely smitten! I'll definitely keep using this even after giving birth. Highly, highly recommended!
ConsNo complaints at all! Though I wouldn't mind if they released a larger size in the future!
TipPro tip: Use an exfoliating pad to prep your skin before applying the serum. It really boosts absorption! Don't forget to keep up with your exfoliation routine, especially in winter.

When your skin feels parched from the surface to the core, this product noticeably reduces deep dryness. It doesn't just provide hydration, but also balances oil and moisture effectively. Your skin feels incredibly comfortable. The more you apply, it leaves your skin feeling firmer without any burden. It's a product that truly excels at the basics.
ConsThis isn't the type of product that instantly makes your skin radiant, visibly smooths wrinkles, or shows dramatic effects at a glance. It's focused on the essentials, but I'm not sure how well it will appeal to busy modern individuals who rush through their morning routines, hastily applying various cosmetics before dashing off to work.
TipOn days when you feel too lazy to apply anything to your face, try just cleansing and then applying your toner followed by this product. You'll likely notice its effects more clearly. Often, when we layer multiple products in our daily routines, it's hard to pinpoint which one is responsible for improving our skin's firmness. Using this product alone might help you better appreciate that firmness.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was familiar with Cetaphil as a brand known for their body emulsion. I had high expectations for this serum, hoping it would alleviate deep dryness, absorb quickly, and leave a moisturized finish. While I anticipated a watery consistency, it actually has a texture similar to an emulsion, which was a pleasant surprise. I particularly appreciated the lack of fragrance (I'm not a fan of artificial scents). My skincare routine involves applying toner, followed by this serum, and then a moisturizer. Even in this chilly weather, I haven't experienced significant dryness after these three steps. It's clear that this product is effectively maintaining my skin's hydration!
ConsI was slightly disappointed as I expected a more fluid consistency. Additionally, the price point feels a bit high for the amount of product, making it less budget-friendly compared to their body emulsion.
TipI recommend using this serum after applying watery, hydration-rich products like ampoules or toners. Follow up with an emulsion or moisturizer that has a richer texture for optimal results.

My face is currently undergoing treatment for seborrheic dermatitis, so I couldn't apply it daily, but when I did use it, I didn't feel any major irritation or side effects. This suggests the ingredients are gentle and suit my skin well. I also have a skin type prone to deep dryness, but when I layer this with a watery formula, it seems to significantly address the dehydration issues.
ConsIt's not completely unscented... Is it the scent of the raw ingredients? Anyway, there is a slight smell. It's not an artificial fragrance, and I think Cetaphil body emulsion had a similar scent, but it dissipates after application. The packaging being plastic gives it a slightly cheap feel, unfortunately. While the contents are good, the container is a bit disappointing!

However, when I applied it, it felt like a serum after all. Application: As someone who dislikes sticky products, I'm satisfied with this one. It spreads well, feels moisturizing, and leaves a nice protective layer on the skin. Hydration: I have combination skin, so I don't want excess oil on the surface, but I often experience deep dryness in winter. This product seems perfect for that. It feels like it locks in moisture, which helps with my deep dryness issues.
ConsScent: It's not unscented, but the fragrance isn't overpowering. I checked the manufacturing date, and it's over a year old. While the expiration date is still far off, it's a bit disappointing.
