LA BIOSTHETIQUE Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule RT 7 capsules

Single-dose hydrating serum capsules from the Dermosthetique range, in the small pack. Each capsule holds one application of a silky hydro lipogel, sealed until you twist it open — no measuring, no decanting, nothing left oxidising in a jar.

The actives

• Encapsulated hyaluronic acid — released as you massage it in, binding moisture in the skin's upper layers.
• Marsh samphire extract — works deeper, replenishing the skin's own moisture reserves.
• Rice and rosemary extracts — included in the formula as antioxidants.

What's in the pack

7 single-dose capsules. This is the size the brand frames as a seven-day course for stretches when skin is especially dry — after a long flight, a cold snap, or a run of late nights. It is also the sensible way to try the texture before moving to the 20 or 60 capsule boxes.

Worth knowing

The gel absorbs quickly and is non-comedogenic, and it works as a make-up primer as well as a serum. Sealed doses travel well, which is most of why the seven-pack exists.
