It seems like the reign of the skincare all-time sweetheart (hyaluronic acid) is about to come to an end as there's a new queen on the block.

Hyaluronic acid has had a long unchallenging reign over the skincare queendom but like all queendoms, their influence decreases over time.

Hyaluronic acid is great of course. It was the star hydrating ingredient in skincare for a while, even though the OGs like glycerine have always been there. Some would even dare to say that glycerine is still the king of hydration. But I'm not here to fuel the king and queen debate. I'm Switzerland in this matter.

Instead, I'm here to bring to your notice the new queen that is about to take over the hydrating scene of skincare, which is none other than the underrated Beta-glucan. B-glucan like we love to call it.

Beta-glucan is a soluble polysaccharide fibre that is found naturally in oats, barley, seaweed, yeast, or fungi.

They are complex sugars that are not found naturally in the human body but can be ingested through food. Or extracted from food for skin care purposes.

Studies have shown that Beta glucan is 20% more hydrating than hyaluronic acid at the same concentration.

Beta-glucan creates a thin film over the skin to lock in moisture and also holds onto water after it has penetrated deeply into the skin.&nbsp;

It plumps fine lines and wrinkles, protects the skin barrier, and soothes and calms irritation.

It’s everything hyaluronic acid is and more.

Skincare influencers on TikTok have sworn that beta-glucan is an upgrade from hyaluronic acid and that they are glad it's finally having its Cinderella moment.

If hyaluronic acid is the queen of hydration, then Beta-glucan is the entire water body. Beta-glucan is a super-humectant which means it is able to hold water 20x more than hyaluronic acid can. It attracts water to the top layer of the skin and traps it. It boosts hydration and skin barrier functions

Beta-glucan’s ability to hold up to 1000 x its weight in water gives it the ability to deeply penetrate and hydrate the skin, which makes the skin supple and younger looking.

Beta-glucan helps to soothe redness and irritation. And can also repair damage at the cellular level which stems from its protecting the skin barrier.

Its ability to lock in moisture helps to plump fine lines and wrinkles. The more hydrated your skin is, the younger you look.

But what's more amazing than a product that combines the awesomeness of Beta-glucan, plus niacinamide that also hydrates and soothes skin, and the moisturizing, hydrating, and brightening power of rosehip oil? Nothing comes close. Absolutely nothing.

The Dreamy Naturalle B-glucan is the ultimate hydrating product that can plump the skin, soothe irritation, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, protects the skin barrier from external stressors, and top it all up, also brightening.

Dreamy Naturalle B-glucan + Rosehip face moisturizer is perfect for you if you have dull skin, dry skin, or a compromised skin barrier. But ultimately, it's perfect for all skin types. And every skin needs the goodness that this product has to offer.

The best news about this product is that it performs excellently as a makeup base.

A face moisturizer that can hydrate, moisturize, plump, reduces signs of aging, brightens, and sits well under makeup? Puleaseeee, count me in.

It comes in a 50g, amber bottle, that helps protect the active ingredients from damage that UV rays can cause.

Smells like something out of a candy jar but very mildly. You will still love it even if you are a no-scent person.

The content is a sunset yellow cream that spreads evenly on the skin, penetrates faster and doesn't leave a yellow patch on the skin.

You don’t need any more convincing to cop this product because it embodies everything we want in a face moisturizer at Aura. And we are not easily impressed.

Beta-Glucan is a hydrating ingredient in skincare products. It's boldly proclaimed as the better alternative to hyaluronic acid
