Something else that sets the Hydra Beauty line apart is its use of microfluidics technology. Chanel is the first brand to use microfluidics to create skincare with active ingredients that do not need membranes and are instead stabilised in micro-droplets.

The Micro Serum, Micro Liquid Essence, Micro Gel Yeux and Micro Creme in the Chanel Hydra Beauty range is made using microfluidics technology.
