By Beverly C.

I am 55 years old and have maintained a consistent anti-aging skin regimen for many years. Growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, my teenage years were filled with too much time in the sun without even considering sunscreen. However, this mistake is something that changed as I became aware of the benefits of using sunscreen and the damage of sun exposure. I have combination skin with some dry areas now, but had an oilier complexion when I was younger. In the past couple of years, I have developed melasma and hyperpigmentation due to sun exposure. I also have some fine lines under the eyes and on my upper cheeks (consider them smile lines).

I applied Deciem Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum ($38 in the shop) every morning and evening over both my face and neck for a month. The brand boasts that this serum is for “multi-depth rehydration and visible reduction in lines and irregularities,” as well as promoting “visible plumping and texture regularity.” The lightweight fluid contains five forms of hyaluronic acid, as well as an algae complex and saccharide, to balance hydration levels and strengthen the skin barrier to help prevent moisture loss.

Other active ingredients include copper lysinate/prolinate, an essential amino acid and cell communicating complex that is claimed to boost skin's own collagen I and III, as well as elastin production. Matrixyl Synthe'6 (palmitoyl tripeptide-38) is included to boosts the production of several types of collagen and the body’s natural hyaluronic acid.

I was so excited to evaluate my skin’s response to the promise of improved surface and below-surface hydration, fine lines and wrinkles, dynamic lines, sagginess and textural irregularities. However, I actually experienced dryness and redness at the beginning of my trial. While the redness subsided after three weeks, my skin continued to experience more dryness than normal.

I use retinol products but did not during this testing period so as to not affect the trial. I was surprised that the nonapeptide-3 retino-complex ingredient caused this redness and irritation to occur, as the company states that it is a “novel technology that promotes better visible anti-aging results than retinol with less irritation.” Sadly, I haven’t noticed any significant improvement in my lines or dark spots, so I don’t plan on ordering a bottle for future use.

When I first saw Caroline Hirons review the Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum* it certainly caught my attention. A highly active, next generation type serum at a reasonable price point? Ah, yes please! Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum sat on my wishlist/to-buy list for a few months until Deciem very kindly offered to send me a bottle of their advanced serum to trial. After 4 weeks of pretty consistent use I am happy to report the results are in. And they are good!

Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum is an advanced serum containing next-generation peptides and 5 different types of hyaluronic to attack skin issues such as hydration (below and at the surface), fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagginess and textural issues. There are a number of complex ingredients contained in this little bottle and I’m not going to go all sciencey (I’d be crap at that!) but if you’d like to read about the science behind each of them please click here as Deciem will do a far better job of explaining than I could ever do. However, the ingredient that most intrigued me was ‘Nonapeptide-3 Retino-Complex’ as this is touted as ‘promoting better visible anti-aging results than Retinol with less irritation’. Now, as someone who is quite the Retinol convert of late, I was very very skeptical of this claim in particular. If you are someone who needs an alternative to traditional retinol, could this be your girl?

Before I get into my results from using this serum I think I should give you a quick background of my skin and what my concerns are. To start, I’d like to make note that I am 34, have combination skin that hasn’t been all that happy this past winter and I’ve experience a lot of dryness in areas. My main areas of concern are fine lines, some redness and also some clearing hormonal spots under the jawline.

The product comes packaged in a box and the serum is encapsulated in a glass bottle with a dropper. From some of the reviews I’ve read not everyone loves this type of packaging but I have no issue with it. The dropper system works perfectly fine for me, although any product that comes in an airtight container is more preferable. The consistency of the serum is quite watery and sinks into the skin immediately upon application. There is basically no scent to this product at all.

During the past 4 weeks or so of using Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum I have shunned all my Retinols and really given this serum a good test run. For the first 2 weeks I used this serum under my moisturiser each night and in the second 2 weeks I have used it pretty consistently of an evening but not exclusively. I still however, have not added any Retinols back in to my skincare routine. And does my skin miss retinol? Well, no, not really. The intense hydration I feel this product gives me is more than enough to feel like it’s plumping out my fine lines. My face feels smooth & pores seem to look a little less visible (they’re still there though obvs!) I don’t really have saggy skin to speak of, so I cannot really comment on that claim.

Overall, I have to say I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by this serum. If you are someone who has hydration or fine line concerns or you are someone who has tried traditional retinols but you’re skin doesn’t agree with them for one reason or another, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to try the Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum.

Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum is available to buy globally here and here and in Australia it’s available with super quick postage and a Tim Tam at Adore Beauty.

Next on the list to try (when I finish up some other eye products I have open) is the Hylamide SubQ Eyes. I’ve heard great things!
