Moisturising
“A humectant that holds 1000x its weight in water for instant plumping.”
What it does
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in skin, joints, and connective tissue. As a topical humectant, it draws moisture from the environment and deeper skin layers to the surface, providing immediate plumping and hydration. Different molecular weights penetrate to different skin depths for layered hydration.
Benefits
- Instantly plumps and hydrates the skin surface
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines when skin is well-hydrated
- Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone
- Supports wound healing and skin recovery

Typical concentration: 0.1–2% (lower concentrations with multiple molecular weights are often more effective)
