Hyaluronic Acid 100

Sodium hyaluronate does the main work, drawing water into the skin, and it's backed by a barrier-friendly mix of ceramide 3, cholesterol, and beta-glucan plus adenosine and copper tripeptide-1 for a little firming and smoothing support. A long list of soothing botanical extracts — purslane, birch juice, skullcap, and yarrow among them — rounds it out. The texture is a light, fast-absorbing serum; apply a few drops to slightly damp skin after toner and before moisturizer, morning and night, and seal it in with a cream so the humectants don't dry out. The formula skips added fragrance and is generally gentle, but the botanical list is long, so very reactive skin should patch test first. Because it contains copper peptides, keep it in a separate step from strong vitamin C or exfoliating acids if you use those.
