Hyaluronic Acid Serum
- Intense Hydration: Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, acting like a "moisture magnet" to keep skin plump and supple.
- Anti-Aging: By replenishing moisture, it helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
- Barrier Support: It reinforces the skin's natural lipid barrier, protecting it from environmental pollutants and helping to lock in moisture.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: It is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), making it safe for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- Dampen: Leave your skin slightly damp or use a facial mist. Hyaluronic acid needs water to "grab" onto; applying it to bone-dry skin can actually draw moisture out of deeper layers.
- Apply: Pat 2–3 drops of the serum into your face and neck.
- Seal: Immediately follow with a moisturizer to lock in the hydration and prevent it from evaporating.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates skin more effectively.
- Glycerin: A common humectant that works with hyaluronic acid to boost moisture.
- Other potential actives: Some versions may include Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier repair or Snail Secretion Filtrate for skin renewal.
