BY CONCERN · DEHYDRATED SKIN
Drench the surface, then seal the layers in.
Dehydrated skin is a condition, not a type, and it responds to the Korean layered-moisture method better than any other approach. Watery essence pressed in first. Hyaluronic serum on top while skin is still damp. Prebiotic gel or cream to seal. Each layer draws water into the surface and holds it there. By the second week, the dull finish lifts and the texture stops feeling tight.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Dehydration questions
What is the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin is a type, characterised by low lipid production and a tendency toward flaking. Dehydrated skin is a condition that any skin type can experience, caused by a lack of water content in the upper layers. Oily skin can be dehydrated. The fix is humectants, not oils.
Does drinking more water fix dehydrated skin?
Drinking water supports overall health but has a limited direct effect on surface hydration. Topical humectants, applied to damp skin and sealed with a moisturiser, are far more effective at restoring the water content of the outer layers.
Which OVESSI layering sequence works best for dehydration?
Cleanse, then apply a watery toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp. Follow with a hyaluronic acid serum, then seal with the gel-cream or cream moisturiser. The sequence traps multiple moisture layers rather than relying on one product to do everything.
How quickly does dehydrated skin respond to treatment?
Most people notice a visible improvement in surface plumpness and glow within five to seven days of consistent layered hydration. In the OVESSI 28-Day Study, 87% of 68 participants reported a sustained improvement in skin comfort and luminosity by day 28.
