Skin hydration

Science of deeply soothing moisture

Hydration is the foundation of healthy, high-performing skin. Without it, barrier function weakens, repair slows and radiance fades. Lancôme’s hydration science goes beyond surface moisture, delivering multi-level hydration protocols designed to lock in water, strengthen the skin barrier and maintain optimal skin balance for lasting comfort and glow. Because the importance of hydration for youthful-looking skin cannot be overstated.

The science of skin
hydration

Your skin's hydration depends on a complex interplay between the barrier's lipid matrix, natural moisturising factors and transepidermal water regulation. When compromised by environmental stress, harsh products or ageing, moisture loss accelerates, leading to dryness, sensitivity and dullness. Lancôme's hydration research targets each of these mechanisms to restore and sustain optimal moisture levels, supporting skin barrier longevity and long-term skin health.

Why is skin hydration essential for youthful-looking skin?

What are the best hydrating ingredients in Lancôme skincare?

Can dehydrated skin accelerate skin ageing?

Yes. Chronic dehydration compromises the skin barrier, making skin more vulnerable to environmental aggressors and accelerating the appearance of fine lines and dullness. This is why hydration is essential to slow down skin ageing. Lancôme's hydration science addresses this by restoring and locking in moisture over the long term, while soothing redness and skin inflammation.
