Every skin cell holds stories capable of transcending the very notion of time: from this premise, Chanel continues to explore new narrative and scientific frontiers where perfection resides in uniqueness — and in this case, in the harmony of a union between two spheres that complement each other.

Thus, the new Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum by Chanel Beauty is not merely a serum, but rather a liquid poem, narrating a tale of duality and balance. Two innovative microspheres, two souls coexisting in symbiosis, each holding a different secret and a promise of freshness, radiance, and well-being.

Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum is a meeting point of elegance and simplicity, of experience and boldness: the formula, in fact, combines advanced microfluidic technology with the desire to offer its user a pleasant, enveloping daily experience.

How so? Thanks to the presence of two microspheres (enriched with hyaluronic acid and an exclusive complex of white camellia extracts, one of the Maison’s most symbolic elements), which, suspended within a precious recycled plastic packaging, dance together to deliver hydration and protect the skin barrier. Inseparably intertwined — much like Chanel’s iconic interlocking Cs.

The first microsphere carries the power of deep hydration: it is the water of life, awakening every fiber of the skin with a gentle yet intense caress, ensuring a continuous embrace lasting 24 hours, offering a plumping effect. The second microsphere is its complementary opposite: a nourishing concentrate, which fills gaps and blends with the skin in a deeper, more intimate embrace.

It is here that the two become one, allowing the skin to glow with renewed light.

“In a deeper, more intimate embrace”

What makes this serum special is not the individual perfection of each microsphere, but the way they complete each other. Like yin and yang, like sun and moon, like words and silence, the two essences seek each other out, find one another, and merge in a dual yet singular harmony. Each drop is an invitation to rediscover one’s skin, to reconnect with the part of ourselves that still dares to dream. The duality of the microspheres reminds us that true beauty is always born from encounter, from the ability of two different essences to create something greater together.

In a world that often seeks perfection in uniformity, Chanel gently whispers a truth: the deepest beauty is born from harmony, between what is light as air and what is rich as an embrace.

And it is precisely in this embrace that we met Mattia Basso, content creator who, through his work, has developed a deep interest and passion for the world of beauty, and especially for skincare, boldly challenging every taboo.

With him, we went through each phase of the Hydra Beauty skincare routine, and spoke about the importance of feeling good in one’s own skin, of how the right product can truly make a difference, and of authenticity, a key concept that ties us all, irrevocably, to Chanel.

Following a skincare routine also means granting yourself a moment to recenter, to take care of yourself. What is your relationship with skincare, and what role does it play in your life right now?

For me, skincare has become a daily ritual of connection with myself. In a world where everything moves so fast, those few minutes in front of the mirror are a form of pause. It’s a way to stop, breathe, and recognize myself — as well as to take care of my skin.

Chanel has just launched the new Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum, for hydrated and radiant skin. What impressed you most about this innovative product?

I was struck by the lightness with which it delivers deep hydration. It’s a serum you don’t feel, but you see — the skin becomes fresher, firmer, and more radiant, like it just woke up from a power nap. And the fact that a product so effective is also such a joy to apply is a rare plus.

Skincare is also about sensoriality, and the texture of Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum is further proof of that. What sensations and emotions would you associate with this product and its application gestures?

The words that come to mind are “freshness” and “renewal”. When I apply it, I feel like my skin is breathing, regenerating. The texture melts instantly into the skin and leaves a velvety feeling that makes me feel cared for and put together.

“freshness and rebirth”

As we learned in the masterclass, this serum also tells the story of the union of two microspheres. We know how essential texture is when choosing skincare. How did this product surprise you, and how important is texture to you?

Texture is one of the factors that guides me most — it has to be sensorial yet functional. The Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum surprised me because of this: the microspheres melt imperceptibly, releasing the active ingredients at just the right moment.

Chanel is balance between elegance and functionality, between innovation and tradition. What does the concept of “balance” mean to you, and where do you find it in daily life?

To me, balance means authenticity: knowing who you are, without losing the ability to evolve. I seek it in the balance between work and private life. Chanel interprets this concept perfectly, combining refinement and practicality, just as I try to do each day.

“For me, balance means authenticity”

What does feeling comfortable in your own skin mean to you — thanks in part to skincare?

Feeling comfortable in my own skin means having confidence in myself — not for how I appear, but for how I feel. Skincare contributes greatly to this sense of well-being… it is an act of self-love.

What is your “happy place”?

My happy place is wherever I can be myself without filters — it might be a sunset terrace, a light-filled room in the morning, or even a simple moment in front of the mirror doing my skincare. It’s more a state of mind than a physical place.

Thanks to Chanel Beauty.
