Dry and Dehydrated skin
Dry and dehydrated skin are often mistaken for the same concern, but they have different causes — and need different care.
Dry skin is a skin type caused by a lack of natural oil (sebum) production. With fewer oil glands, the skin lacks natural lubrication, leading to flakiness, tightness, fine lines and sometimes itchiness.
Dehydrated skin is a skin condition caused by a lack of water within the skin. It can feel tight or itchy, and may even appear oily with a dry surface. If left untreated, the skin may produce excess sebum to compensate — potentially leading to blocked pores or breakouts.
At Regentiv, we understand that both skin types share one essential need — balance. Our carefully developed formulations replenish moisture, restore natural softness and strengthen the barrier, helping to relieve tightness, smooth texture and bring lasting comfort to your complexion.
If you are unsure where to start, these simple steps provide a guide for morning and evening care to improve your skin quality and overall complexion.
(And always treat your neck as well — it deserves the same care as your face.)
Understanding Dry and Dehydrated Skin
What happens:
Dryness results from a lack of oil; dehydration from a lack of water. Both lead to a weakened barrier, increased sensitivity, and a dull, rough or flaky texture. Environmental changes, ageing, central heating and sun exposure can all contribute to moisture loss and imbalance.
How you might feel:
Your skin may feel tight after cleansing, appear dull or irritated, and at times become itchy or rough to the touch. Restoring both oil and water levels through gentle, hydrating care helps to bring back softness, suppleness and a healthy glow.
Recommended Skincare Approach
Focus on replenishing hydration, soothing irritation and maintaining smooth, radiant comfort.
- Cleanse gently with Gentle Cleanser & Eye Make-Up Remover to remove impurities and make-up while keeping the skin’s natural oils intact.
Follow with Super Clean Lotion to tone and refresh, leaving the complexion smooth and hydrated. - Gently resurface with Soft Honey Peel once or twice a week to lift dull surface cells and allow better absorption of hydrating treatments.
- Soothe and comfort with Calming & Desensitising Gel, providing instant relief for tight, itchy or flushed skin while reinforcing the barrier and restoring calm.
- Replenish and renew with The Specialist Serum, enriched with Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to restore smoothness, strengthen the skin barrier and support healthy renewal.
- Deeply hydrate with Hyaluronic Active, a moisture-binding formula that plumps fine lines and restores suppleness to dehydrated skin.
- Revitalise and firm (Morning) with Revitalising & Firming Gel, a light, refreshing preparation that energises and tightens the skin while locking in hydration. It smooths, cools and preps the complexion beautifully for the day ahead.
- Nourish and repair (Night) with High Potency Night Cream, a rich, collagen-boosting formula that replenishes moisture, smooths texture and restores softness overnight.
- For a hydrated glow, Self Tan Triple Care enhances tone while keeping skin soft and luminous.
With consistent hydration, the skin regains its softness, radiance and resilience — feeling comfortable, smooth and beautifully replenished.
