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.

Super light

Something I like a lot about the HA 5 Light is his texture and how my skin absorbe it without leaving it sticky. I can see how my skin has improve since I use this every night. I would recommend it with no doubt.

Très bon produit

L effet souhaité est bien là. Je recommande. 👍👍

Great product

Recently discovered this brand, good products with good prices! 👍🏻

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
