Skeyndor Skincare - Water For Your Skin

Hi everyone, 

Recently, I was fortunate enough to be one of the winners in a magazine giveaway. The prize I got was the Power Hyaluronic Moisturizing Booster by a brand called Skeyndor. Have you come across this brand before? I haven’t, hence I wasn’t too eager to quickly slap it on my face.  But I thought it would be such a waste of what might be a good product if I don’t even give it a try. So I decided to do some background research first (on the Internet, of course!) and this is what I gathered.

The Brand

Skeyndor was started in 1966 by Publio Puente, a doctor in Chemical Sciences and Juan Morcillo, an Industrial Engineer, in Terrassa, a lovely town 20 kilometres north of Barcelona, Spain.

Skeyndor means “golden skin” in Spanish. It is the No. 1 skincare brand in Spain and is rated as one of the top 15 cosmetic brands in the world. The brand is present in over 45 countries through a network of 40 international distributors.


The Products



Various Skeyndor products have won awards over the years. According to the company, a number of celebrities use the products including Monica Belluci, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman. The brand carries over 200 products for a variety of skin care needs.

The quality of Skeyndor products is the result of scrupulous research and subsequent manufacturing of all and every one of their products. Already existing products are continuously being re-formulated and improved, to adapt to the innovations that arise in the market.

Skeyndor products are made for use at home, in spas and professional beauty salons and skin clinics. Using a combination of marine and plant ingredients, the products are said by the company to “combine science and nature".


Power Hyaluronic

The Skeyndor Moisturizing Booster that I got is from their Power Hyaluronic range which aims to balance the skin's natural hydrodynamics and improve overall hydration. In case you are saying hydro what (?), hydrodynamics is the measurement of water retention and loss in the skin. If these two elements are balanced, the skin is optimally hydrated. The key ingredients that make the range effective include 1% Hyaluronic Acid, Xylitol and its derivatives.

Hyaluronic Acid naturally occurs in the skin to retain moisture (like a sponge!) and at the same time protects it from water loss caused by environmental pollutants, while Xylitol helps to increase the levels of Aquaporins in the skin. Aquaporins are the proteins in charge of transporting water to the cell of the skin.

So what is a booster, I hear you ask? Boosters are products that will increase the effectiveness of the products used, i.e. they act as amplifiers. A booster has a very specialized function for e.g. to hydrate the skin and it needs other cosmetics to carry out its function. Booster cosmetics have 4 main features: high concentration of active ingredients, immediate absorption, fast action and deep repair.

The Skeyndor Moisturizing Booster is an intensive facial moisturizing booster. It is said to enhance the properties of any moisturizer and is great for all skin types. By using it underneath your moisturizer, it provides 24-hour non-stop moisture for your skin; softens wrinkles caused by dehydration and reduces flakiness, redness or itchiness on the skin.

The product is recommended for people over the age of 20 and is safe for daily use. After your usual face cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine, apply a small quantity to the face and throat and massage gently.

Sounds good so far, right? Now that I’ve learned a bit about the product, I think I’m more confident to start using it on my skin.

So watch this space, guys – I can’t wait to share my experience with all of you soon!

Till then,

Lotsa Luv
