What it is
Lightweight hydrating serum centered on low-molecular hyaluronic acid, balanced with panthenol and calming extracts to deliver plump, comfortable hydration without heaviness.
Who it's for
- Normal, oily, or combination skin needing weightless hydration.
- Those who prefer a fast-absorbing serum that layers under moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Users buffering actives (retinoids/acids) with a calming hydration step.
Key ingredients (INCI)
- Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid — humectant hydration for plump feel.
- Panthenol — soothes and supports moisture retention.
- Madecassoside/Centella-derived extracts — calming comfort for sensitized skin.
- Betaine/Glycerin — additional humectants for slip and moisture.
Free-from / texture
- Watery gel texture; fast-absorbing with dewy, non-sticky finish.
- Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
- Layerable under sunscreen or makeup without pilling.
How to use & order
- Apply after toner/essence on slightly damp skin.
- Use 2–3 pumps across face and neck; follow with moisturizer.
- Use morning and night; finish with sunscreen in the daytime.
Conflicts & layering tips
- Generally compatible with most actives; if pairing with strong acids/retinoids, build gradually and monitor for sensitivity.
- Layer before thicker serums and creams; can be used to cushion stronger treatments.
- Patch test if you have very reactive or post-procedure skin.
Evidence & notes
- Hyaluronic acid is a cosmetic humectant; plumping and smoothing effects are cosmetic.
- Panthenol and centella derivatives help comfort skin; not a drug product.
- Seal with moisturizer in dry climates to reduce transepidermal water loss.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Patch test along the jawline before first full use, especially if reactive.
- Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
