My results were astounding.

Every so often, I feel like my skin needs a little zhuzh in one direction or the other—but not so much that I have to permanently change my skin care routine. Most times, this occurs when the seasons change and my skin is faced with a new set of temperature-related obstacles. In the winter, when the colder weather sucks the moisture straight out of my face, I reach for a topical version of Gatorade: Babor’s Hydra Plus Ampoule Concentrates.

Babor Hydra Plus Ampoule Concentrates

I think of Babor’s Ampoule Concentrates as a week-long boot camp for my skin. Each kit comes with seven small glass ampoules, one for each day, and there are plenty of other options, too, each targeting a different skin issue. Hydra Plus is an intensive moisturizing treatment formulated with a potent mix of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B. 

The texture of the formula is slightly more viscous than water, but my skin gulped it down just the same. I felt each individual drop of serum get absorbed by my skin, but to my surprise, there was nothing left on the surface—no film, no transfer, and my makeup even went on more smoothly. 

After using the full Hydra Plus seven-day kit, my complexion is full and plump, and my previously fatigued, dull skin is revitalized. I’m pretty sure the rest of my skin care products work better, too, now that the baseline health of my skin has improved. Now when I apply moisturizer, I feel like it’s enriching the state of my skin rather than trying to play catch-up.
