Best Junglück Products for Dry Skin
5 Junglück picks that actually work on dry skin — ranked by editor rating, not by what the brand pushes hardest. Updated 2026.
Junglück is what happens when a German startup looks at The Ordinary, decides it should cost a bit more but feel a lot nicer, and builds a tightly edited clean-beauty line. The Hyaluron Serum is a solid basic, and the Retinol cream is a respectable entry-level retinoid for European shoppers.

8.3/10 · serumHyaluron Konzentrat
Junglück's best-seller — and the product that put this Bavarian clean-beauty brand on the German drugstore map. The 'Konzentrat' (concentrate) delivers 1.4% total hyaluronic acid across three molecular weights: high-weight for surface hydration and film formation, medium-weight for mid-dermal moisture retention, and a crosspolymer form for sustained 24-hour delivery. The aloe vera base adds anti-inflammatory soothing (glycyrrhizin and acemannan) while glycerin provides additional humectant support. At ~€35 (~$38) for 50ml, it's one of the best-value multi-weight HA concentrates available — The Ordinary charges less but delivers a thinner formula. Junglück's version has a satisfying gel-serum consistency that layers beautifully under moisturizer. Available at dm (Germany's largest drugstore chain) and Douglas, making it genuinely accessible. The 10-ingredient INCI is characteristically Junglück: nothing unnecessary, everything documented.

8.1/10 · cleanserGentle Cleansing Gel
Junglück's Berlin-indie clean cleanser. Coco-glucoside surfactants, panthenol and chamomile for the barrier, transparent ingredient list. It's The Ordinary-style honesty in a nicer bottle.
Junglück
8.1/10 · serumVitamin C Sensitiv Serum
Junglück's vitamin C serum — and a masterclass in modern German clean-beauty formulation. The 'Sensitiv' designation is deliberate: ascorbyl glucoside (a stable, gentle vitamin C derivative) replaces the L-ascorbic acid that makes many vitamin C serums stinging, unstable, and short-lived. The aloe vera base provides anti-inflammatory soothing alongside the brightening active, while glycerin and sodium hyaluronate deliver hydration. At ~€35 (~$38) for 30ml, it's priced in the conscious-beauty-premium tier — you're paying for Junglück's transparency (every ingredient sourced and documented), sustainable packaging (violet glass, recyclable), and a genuinely minimal formula (9 ingredients total). The 9-ingredient INCI list is remarkable: no silicones, no fragrance, no unnecessary fillers. For sensitive skin that wants vitamin C brightening without the irritation risk of direct ascorbic acid, this is the German clean-beauty answer.

Junglueck's olive-derived pure squalane oil — single-ingredient simplicity from the German sustainable indie brand.

7.5/10 · serumRetinol Serum
Junglück's Retinol Serum is German sustainable skincare at its most principled — sixteen ingredients, zero fragrance, aloe vera juice instead of water as the base, and retinyl palmitate as the gentlest possible entry point into retinoid skincare. The 0.27% retinol equivalent from retinyl palmitate won't compete with prescription tretinoin for anti-aging speed, but that's the point: this is designed for retinoid beginners and sensitive-skin types who want to build tolerance gradually without the purging, flaking, and irritation that stronger retinoids provoke. Fructooligosaccharides are a prebiotic that feeds the skin's microbiome — a touch that reflects Junglück's holistic approach. Beet root extract provides betaine for osmoprotection (it helps cells retain moisture under stress). The polyglyceryl emulsifier system is derived from coconut and rapeseed — no PEGs, no ethoxylation, no petroleum derivatives. Tocopherol provides vitamin E antioxidant support to prevent the retinyl palmitate from oxidizing. At ~€25, it's positioned as an approachable retinol for the conscious consumer who wants efficacy without compromise on sustainability.
