I’ve been using Silkdrop Barrier Serum every day for over 3 months now and I love it! It’s really light and soaks in straight away. My skin feels much calmer, the redness has gone down a lot, and it doesn’t get irritated as easily. Definitely worth it!

The Dap silk hydrating serum is incredible. So nice to put on my skin, smells amazing and doesn’t irritate me at all which is great as I have very sensitive skin. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a serum that is made from the best ingredients and calms the skin rather than irritates.

I have combination skin and it’s hard to find products that don’t dry me out or feel heavy. This combo of washing with Rice & Oats Cream ckeanser and Silkdrop serum just works beautifully. Clean but comfortable and the serum sinks in fast and not sticky or tacky at all. My skin looks so healthier overall. Thanks Dap for making such amazing products.

Bought this at the Macquarie pop-up because my skin always felt oily and dull by mid-afternoon. Using it under sunscreen daily. Light, absorbs fast, no shine. Love it. Highly recomemded!

Customer photo review of Silkdrop Hydrating Serum

Its been 3 months and I love using Silkdrop hydrating serum. I love how quickly Silkdrop absorbs. It genuinely feels like nothing is sitting on my skin - but I can feel the hydration instantly. I apply SPF and makeup straight after and nothing cracks or pills. My skin just looks smooth and comfortable all day. I also use it at night and wake up with soft, hydrated skin. As a busy mum working full-time, I don’t have patience for complicated routines. I wash with Rice & Oats Cleanser, mist with Glow Veil, apply Silkdrop and I’m done. It’s simple and it works. I stopped layering so many products once I started using Silkdrop. — Fran, 34

Silkdrop Hydrating Serum

I have seen noticeable results on my skin after just one week of following the skin care routine with Shewta. My skin looks healthier and more refreshed, and even other people have commented on the improvement. Shewta’s support, advice, and attention to my skin care needs have been excellent. I am very happy with the progress and grateful for her help.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

Since using the products ibe found huge difference in not only the look but feel of my skin, it's healthier glows and feels good. Would recommend 👍

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

I’ve been using the Silk Drop and Shield Cream from DAP Skincare and absolutely love them! The Silk Drop leaves my skin feeling so smooth, hydrated and beautifully soft without feeling heavy or greasy. The Shield Cream is the perfect finishing step — it feels nourishing and gives my skin that healthy, protected feeling. Together, they’ve made my skin feel so much more hydrated and glowing. I genuinely look forward to using them in my skincare routine. Definitely two products I’ll be repurchasing!

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

It's incredibly lightweight, absorbs instantly, and has transformed my reactive skin. Best part - it keeps my makeup flawless and stable all day long. Highly recommend!

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

I’m really impressed with the quality of the product itself. it feels premium and performs exactly as described.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

This serum has been a quiet standout in my routine. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and deeply hydrating without leaving any residue. My skin feels comfortable all day. Three weeks in and I am already feeling the difference. A definite staple!

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

There is a visible softness to my skin that wasn’t there before. Silkdrop keeps its promise: simplified skin care.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

My skin finally feels normal - no tightness, no greasy layer sitting on top. Three weeks in and I haven't reached for anything else. I think this is just… it.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

I’ve been using this for almost 5 months now and it’s honestly been so good for my skin. I have really sensitive skin that gets red and itchy easily, and I’ve tried so many products before this. I’ve probably spent hundreds and nothing really worked or just made it worse. My first honest reaction was ‘this probably won’t do much either but I was wrong. This is the first one that actually calms my skin down. It feels really light, doesn’t irritate me at all, and my skin just feels more comfortable and balanced. I’ve already repurchased and will keep using it. Definitely recommend if you have sensitive skin and are tired of wasting money on products that don’t work.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

The serum is super lightweight, not greasy at all. My skin feels so soft and glowy. I apply this serum morning and night.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

I bought this serum last year at the Grove Square pop-up and have loved it ever since. I’ve replaced several products I used to use with Silkdrop, Rice & Oats and the dap Face Mist. My skin feels softer, more hydrated and I’ve started noticing my pigmentation slowly reducing too. Highly recommend

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

This is my third bottle of Silkdrop serum. I had dry skin but not anymore, my skin has become so soft and healthy. Love this serum.

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

My skin felt softer almost immediately, redness calmed down, and within a week I had this natural glow I hadn’t seen in years. Lightweight, non-greasy, and it actually works. 100% repurchasing!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Silkdrop — The Barrier Serum

Very positive outcome! I like how gentle the cleanser is. The moisturiser hydrates my skin almost instantly and the glowing effect is very obvious. Love the spray also, very handy to use when out and about.

Love my Silkdrop Hydrating serum. I don't need to apply separate serums. Just one serum morning & night does all the work. Super light weight and hydrating. I just apply after washing my face in the morning and straight away SPF and make up. Made life so easy.
