description

Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This formula focuses on ultra-moisturizing high-molecular-weight versions for ample surface hydration as well as on medium-molecular weight versions, whose strong point is to strengthen the skin barrier and to reinforce the skin’s natural defense & healing mechanisms.

Ingredients & Research

key ingredients:

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer – A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid. Also offers longer-term moisturizing benefits.

Sodium Hyaluronate - The most common, salt-form of hyaluronic acid that can be found in large and medium molecular weight in the formula.

Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract – The extract of silver ear mushroom known for its amazing water-binding abilities. It contains sugar constituents, including Glucuronic acid, one of the building blocks of Hyaluronic Acid. It is cosmetically very elegant, non-sticky, and has additional antioxidant benefits.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid – A smaller molecular weight version of Hyaluronic Acid that is known for its ability to reinforce the skin’s natural defense & healing mechanisms.

Panthenol – A classic skincare ingredient that is a reliable soothing, moisturizing and skin-protecting agent.

Plump skin and hydration station

I stack this over the B-bomb and liquid hydration. I have oily/ dry skin so this light version is immaculate. My skin is extremely compromised. I never knew my skin could look and feel this good! If I do get Eczema , I just dab some HA on it and it’s healed. Maybe even one day my skin will have its natural barrier back to the point I don’t get so much eczema-period! Goodbye steroid creams, Hello genius skin care! I just had to extend my gratitude because I’m genuinely shooketh. I’m a loyal customer customer from now on and already put in another order to try the stress less serum and the lotions.

Very good

Light, gentle and plumping. I am using it every morning and evening after my toner. Great for oily skin like mine but I think next time I'll go for a stronger version

best Hyaluronic Acid i have found so far!

love this product

Love it

Very light and non sticky serum

Great

My face feels hydrated and smooth after using it. I have been only using it for a month and not every day since after buying it I heard a dermatologist on youtube saying hyaluronic acid is actually bad because it holds on to water and not let the skin absorbs it. Nevertheless, its size dictates its function and this product here has a balanced structure and has Glycerin (which is also good for hydration) before hyaluronic acid in the ingreditents list which makes me feel a bit safer using it in case that info is correct.
Thank you.
