Travel can take a lot out of your skin , but thankfully, there are incredible products to counteract the damage. And Dr. Barbara Sturm, beloved by hotels and travelers around the world, has a brand-new serum perfect for just that.
A three-day, six-treatment protocol, The Hydrogen Serum Powered by H₂MT helps deliver
activated molecular hydrogen directly to the skin to fight visible inflammation, and neutralize free radicals and oxidative stress, Dr. Barbara Sturm shared with Travel + Leisure . The company said it used hydrogen since the molecule can "diffuse through skin tissue, enter cells and even reach the mitochondria."
"The world's smallest molecule is also a powerful and selective antioxidant; it fights the most damaging free radicals, defends against oxidative stress, and is clinically proven to unlock all four pillars of skin vitality," Sturm said in a statement shared with T+L. "After years of research and development, we have finally found a way to unlock its benefits for skin. This world-first technology is a game changer in skincare science anti-inflammation and longevity."

In clinical testing, the company said the serum was shown to reduce wrinkles, even skin tone, increase hydration, and reduce both pores and redness after just one treatment. The serum also improved skin elasticity and radiance, and helped with dark circles (which red eye flights are notoriously harsh on).
The serum is available exclusively at Dr. Barbara Sturm spas and boutiques , which are located in major cities around the world, including New York, Miami, Dallas, Palm Beach, London, and Düsseldorf.
Additionally, Sturm partners with several luxury hotels to bring her products right to their spas for the ultimate after-flight or mid-trip recovery. At London's iconic Claridges , for example, travelers can book several different facials , including the 90-minute Dr. Barbara Sturm Bespoke Facial, which begins with an in depth skin analysis and features technology like LED therapy, microneedling, or microcurrent. The hotel also offers the signature SturmGlow Facial, which includes "advanced formulas [that] work to strengthen the skin barrier and enhance overall resilience, leaving the complexion visibly revitalised."
In Ibiza , guests at the Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay can book a full wellness experience complete with an anti-inflammatory breakfast by the beach, a signature Dr. Barbara Sturm facial, a Dr. Barbara Sturm lymphatic and sculpting treatment, and an Omakase dinner at the Nobu restaurant.
And at the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl's Asaya Spa in Austria, the SturmGlow facial works to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and firm skin with massage techniques while awakening the skin and helping to restore the complexion's natural glow.
