Together with our guests, at RETREAT we always strive for one goal: optimal skin condition. Every face is unique and requires a personal approach. That's why we don't work with standard routines, but carefully tailor treatments and product advice to what the skin needs at that moment.
My background in Molecular and Biophysical Life Sciences helps us look beyond the surface. Thanks to in-depth knowledge of cellular processes, we can substantiate cosmetics not only intuitively but also scientifically. This makes our advice more powerful and targeted.
Whether it's about rest, results, or a combination of both, at RETREAT you are in the right place.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in your skin, joints, and connective tissue. In the skin, it retains moisture between collagen and elastin fibers. You can think of it as a sponge: it attracts water and can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight. This keeps the skin plump, supple, and protected.
As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases. This is also influenced by factors such as sunlight, stress, and pollution. The result is visible in the skin: more fine lines from dryness, less elasticity, and a duller complexion.
the power is in the layers
What many people don't know is that hyaluronic acid is used in different molecular sizes. The size determines how deeply it penetrates the skin and, therefore, what effect it has:
High molecular weight stays on the skin's surface and helps retain moisture. Perfect for quickly relieving a tight or dry feeling.
Low molecular weight works deeper into the skin and contributes to improving elasticity and structure.
Ultra-low molecular weight penetrates even further and supports collagen production there. This results in firmer skin and reduced fine lines.
my recommendations
At RETREAT, we work with products that use hyaluronic acid in a meaningful way: clinically substantiated and effective, without unnecessary additives. A few favorites from our range:
PAOMA 28 Days Intensive Anti-ageing Program: A 28-day program with hyaluronic acid in three molecular weights, plus antioxidants and ferments that visibly strengthen the skin.
Irene Forte Triple Level Serum: For deep hydration and skin barrier repair.
Biologique Recherche Sérum Yall-O2: Ideal for loss of volume or tired skin.
BIOEFFECT EGF Power Serum: Combines HA with growth factors for true skin renewal, especially suitable for skin aging.
Malin+Goetz Revitalizing Eye Gel: A refreshing eye gel with sodium hyaluronate and rice peptides. Hydrates, reduces visible puffiness, and softens fine lines around the eyes.
Malin+Goetz Advanced Renewal Cream: A daily moisturizer with hyaluronic acid in multiple molecular weights. Supports skin barrier repair and provides long-lasting hydration.
Pelegrims Facial Oil: A nourishing oil that combines hyaluronic acid with grape seed extract and English botanicals. Intensely hydrates, restores the skin, and provides a healthy glow without feeling greasy.
suitable for everyone
Hyaluronic acid is safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. That's why we like to include it in almost every skin routine, whether for hydration, firming, or recovery. We recommend choosing products that work both deeply and on the surface, so that the skin is optimally supported – today and in the long term.
In addition to products with hyaluronic acid, we also offer a wide range of treatments with hyaluronic acid, from microneedling to holistic treatments with Paoma, which maximally support and strengthen the skin.
