The Hydrafacial is one of the most advanced and effective non-invasive skincare treatments available today. It cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin—all in a single session. But what truly sets this facial apart is its use of targeted, skin-nourishing ingredients delivered through a patented Vortex-Fusion system.
If you’ve been wondering what goes into a Hydrafacial session, here’s a closer look at the key ingredients that make this treatment so powerful and why they’re great for all skin types.
1. Glucosamine and Lactic Acid (Cleanse + Peel Step)
The first step in a Hydrafacial involves gentle exfoliation and resurfacing. During this phase, the skin is treated with glucosamine and lactic acid.
- Glucosamine helps loosen dead skin cells and promotes a smoother texture.
- Lactic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), gently resurfaces the skin, enhancing brightness and softness without causing irritation.
Together, these ingredients prepare the skin for deeper penetration of the next treatment steps while initiating cell turnover.
2. Salicylic and Glycolic Acid (Acid Peel)
The second step involves a mild chemical peel using a combination of salicylic acid and glycolic acid.
- Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates oil-laden pores, making it ideal for treating acne-prone or oily skin.
- Glycolic acid, another AHA, works on the surface to exfoliate and smooth the skin.
This duo helps to clear out clogged pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines, without the downtime usually associated with traditional chemical peels.
3. Beta-HD™ (Extract + Hydrate Step)
During the extraction process, the Hydrafacial device uses a serum called Beta-HD™ that contains a mixture of salicylic acid and hydrating agents.
- It helps soften sebum and blackheads, making them easier to extract with the suction technology.
- The hydrating ingredients simultaneously calm the skin and maintain moisture levels, which is essential for avoiding redness or irritation after extractions.
4. Antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acid (Fuse + Protect Step)
This final phase is where hydration and protection come into play. The skin is infused with a cocktail of:
- Hyaluronic acid – a moisture-binding ingredient that keeps skin plump and hydrated
- Peptides – which promote collagen production and skin elasticity
- Antioxidants – such as vitamins A, C, and E, which protect against environmental damage
These ingredients leave your skin not only glowing but also better equipped to combat pollutants and signs of aging.
5. Optional Boosters
One of the reasons people love the hydrafacial from Salon Deauville is the ability to customize treatments using specialized boosters. These may include:
- Brightalive Booster™ for reducing discoloration and enhancing radiance
- DermaBuilder™ to improve skin tone and reduce fine lines
- Growth Factor Boosters to promote skin regeneration and firmness
Technicians can tailor the treatment to your specific skin goals, making each session highly personalized and results-driven.
6. Antibacterial and Calming Agents
Many Hydrafacial formulas also include calming botanical extracts like aloe vera, green tea, and chamomile, which soothe inflammation and support skin recovery post-treatment. This makes the treatment ideal even for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin.
Conclusion
A Hydrafacial isn’t just a deep-cleansing facial—it’s a science-backed, multi-step treatment packed with powerful ingredients that work together to improve skin health and appearance. From exfoliating acids and pore-clearing serums to ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, every step is designed to deliver real, visible results. Whether your goal is clearer, smoother, or more radiant skin, this treatment provides nourishment at every level.
