What is Hyaluronic Acid?

A sugar molecule naturally found in our skin, Hyaluronic Acid acts like a sponge, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water to keep skin hydrated and plump.

How It Works Under the Skin

It draws moisture from the surrounding environment and deep layers of the skin, pulling it into the epidermis to instantly smooth out fine lines and dry texture.

Editor's K-Beauty Formulation Tip

In dry climates, always lock in your hyaluronic acid toner/serum with a cream. Otherwise, it can draw moisture *out* of your skin into the dry air.
