I have been using Dr. Barbara Sturm's products for exactly 5 years - I love them, especially her hyaluronic serum. I was happy to try the Skincare Generic's hyaluronic serum, but honestly I was a little skeptical that it might not be as good as the product I've been a super fan of for 5 years. However, I am thrilled to report that the Skincare Generic version shares the same texture and luxurious feel on my skin. The glowy results that I receive from using it are also the same. I am very excited to have access to a more affordable, yet equally beneficial serum. I can't wait to share it with all my friends!

My skin drinks this right up ! So far love it
This has the perfect texture and no scent, which is great! I just ordered my 2nd bottle, and can tell my skin is not as dry as it usually is.
Amazingly hydrating. Leaves your skin feeling smooth and locked in
Never used the actual barbara sturm serum so I did not know what to expect. It smelled a bit weird but maybe thats how its supposed to smell? I use it at night and it has been great at what it claims to do. Very hydrating and feels good on my skin.
There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to spend an exorbitant amount of money on hyaluronic serum. This one does the trick nicely!
I looovee how high-quality and effective this hyaluronic acid serum is. It also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, which is a huge plus!
Phenomenal products very similar to the Barbara sturm serum that is 10 times the price
Now I do like this, but I actually prefer to use it more spring and summer and autumn than I do in the winter. In the winter, I use a slightly different product which is for older skin, having said that I have given a bottle of this to a colleague at work who absolutely loves it all year round.
This serum is amazing!! Makes your skin like “glass” absolutely will be in my regimen from now on.
I am officially obsessed with this serum! I started using the Hyaluronic Skin Serum about three months ago along with Skincare Generics’ CE Ferulic, and I can genuinely see a difference in my skin. But the real proof? Three of my closest friends noticed too! Without me mentioning anything, they asked what new “face magic” I was doing because my skin looked so good. The only change I had made to my routine was adding this serum and the CE Ferulic. At 53, I’ll happily take all the help I can get! 😂 I’ve been using both faithfully for about three months now and my skin looks more hydrated, plump and just healthier overall. When other people start noticing the difference, you know you’ve found something good. Definitely staying in my routine!
I’ve been using this Hyaluronic Skin Serum since December 2025, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s a great addition to a creamy moisturizer because it’s lightweight, glides onto the skin effortlessly, and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or greasy. My skin feels soft and hydrated right after applying it, and I love that it still feels smooth and moisturized the next morning. The dropper makes it easy to dispense the perfect amount without any mess, and the serum layers well with my other skincare products and under makeup. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. Overall, it gives my skin an extra boost of hydration and leaves it looking healthy and refreshed. For the quality and performance, I would definitely recommend it. Easy 5 stars!
This hyaluronic serum is a true hydration hero 🙌🏻, delivering an immediate plumping effect that lasts all day. The lightweight yet potent formula absorbs beautifully without any tackiness, leaving skin bouncy and dewy. I'm impressed by how effectively it smooths fine lines while maintaining perfect moisture balance - it's become my daily essential for that coveted glass skin glow.🌟
This is the second time that I’ve bought this serum. It makes my Client skin so hydrated and glossy! Definitely will be buying this from now on
Feels great on my skin
Great product with a great price
I have just received the order, and it will be a couple of weeks before I am able to start the products. I will be glad to leave a review in a month or so. The order came quickly and the packaging is nice.
Love this product
Incredible hyaluronic acid serum at an incredible price! I am obsessive about finding the best products at an affordable price range for me- and this is IT!
It’s great!
Great quality and incredible value. I have been very pleased with the products I ordered!
I don’t know that is extraordinary. It’s pretty standard in my opinion.
This stuff rocks
This has become a favorite in my routine for keeping my skin looking fresh as it ages. It feels light and silky going on, sinks in quickly, and never leaves a sticky film, so it works perfectly under my regular moisturizer and sunscreen. Just a few drops make my skin feel instantly more comfortable and hydrated, and I swear my fine lines look softer and my face has a smoother, more “well-rested” look. It’s gentle, easy to use every day, and gives my “more mature” skin the extra drink of water it really needs.
It is a great alternative for Dr Sturm hyaluronic serum. The texture feels the same and results are great. No issues ordering and shipping was fast.

This hyaluronic acid is fabulous a little goes a long ways it spreads fabulous very hydrating love it definitely a keeper
I love it! It hydrates my skin and gives me a nice glow.
I'll be honest, I've never tried the original. But this serum is very hydrating and soothes dry skin well. I don't feel compelled to buy the full-price name-brand version. Will stick with this one!
I haven’t noticed any change yet or difference from any other hyaluronic serum.
The hyaluronic serum I did not find moisturizing at all.
Love this serum! Luxury quality without luxury price tag
Love this serum for my dry, winter skin! Beautiful texture!
Love this hydrating ha! Beautiful moisturizing texture.
This serum feels amazing on your face and makes your makeup application so smooth. LOVE!
