Review: Dermaglow Hydration Fix Serum

Here in Canada we're right smack-dab in the middle of our winter. December/January is the time of year that really takes a toll on my skin. The air is just so dry. My normally oily/combination skin goes right wonky. My nose is still oily as ever but the rest of my face is super dehydrated and I get dry patches on my cheeks. Not pretty. My makeup doesn't go on as smooth and foundation tends to cling to those little spots. I needed a solution.
I headed to Shoppers Drug Mart to check out the skin care aisle. I'm always more and more impressed with this store. They're branching out into higher end products now and it's so nice to be able to compare drug store with more high end stuff in one stop. I came across Dermaglow and attempted to do some research on the brand. I couldn't find many reviews on it. There were a few consumer reviews on a couple of the products and I found out that it was a Canadian brand. Hmmm, they say curiosity killed the cat but I was pretty interested to try something out. The Hydration Fix Serum caught my eye so I decided to check out the ingredients. Pomegranate extract: fantastic antioxidant. Hyaluronic acid...ok, what? Of course, I did a little research. Turns out, its something naturally found in the body. It promotes hydration of your skin because it bonds itself with water. It's supposed to be brilliant for any skin type from dry to oily and everything in between. Sold! Plus, it was 25% off (which I didn't actually discover until I checked my receipt when I got home) bonus!
I use it all over my face after cleansing at night, before I apply my moisturizer. Then in the morning I apply it to my cheeks and forehead before moisturizing.
Ummm, can you say wow?? This is really a miracle product. Dry patches: gone. It sinks in super fast and my skin feels incredibly soft all day. It seems like it makes my moisturizer actually do its job. It's light, doesn't feel greasy at all and doesn't break me out. My nose is actually less oily after using this. Seriously, if you see this somewhere, pick it up. You will not regret it. Well, that is, unless you have perfectly even, baby-soft, luminous skin naturally. Then I'm sure you won't have to worry about it ;)
I am planning on doing a full skin care routine post but I'm not 100% happy with all of my products. I have a medicine cabinet full of partially used containers of moisturizer, none of which I'm totally in love with. The serum boosts each of them but I'm still just not confident in promoting any of them. *sigh* The search continues.

Any recommendations for a holy grail moisturizer?

Oh, hey! Feel like dropping me line?
