What it is
A hydrating, soothing serum combining multi-weight hyaluronic acid with centella actives to plump the feel of skin, ease visible redness, and leave a fresh, comfortable finish.
Who it's for
- Dehydrated, redness-prone, or easily sensitized skin needing gentle hydration.
- Normal, combination, or oily skin types preferring a lightweight serum.
- Routines that layer calming hydration under actives or sunscreen.
Key ingredients (INCI)
- Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid — humectant hydration for surface and deeper layers of the stratum corneum.
- Centella-derived soothers (e.g., Madecassoside/Asiaticoside derivatives) — help calm and comfort skin feel.
- Panthenol — supports moisture retention and post-active comfort.
- Humectants (e.g., glycerin) — attract and hold water for a dewy finish.
Free-from / texture
- Lightweight water-gel texture; absorbs quickly with low residue.
- Low oil content; check INCI for fragrance if sensitive.
- Leaves a dewy, non-sticky finish suitable for day or night.
How to use & order
- After cleansing/toner, apply 1–2 pumps over face and neck on slightly damp skin.
- Use morning and/or night; follow with moisturizer and daytime sunscreen.
- Layer a second pass on dry spots if needed before sealing with cream.
Conflicts & layering tips
- Generally low conflict; use after strong actives to buffer dryness.
- If highly sensitive, separate use from strong acids/retinoids and introduce gradually.
- Patch test if reactive to centella derivatives or humectant-rich formulas.
Evidence & notes
- Plumping and soothing effects are cosmetic; consistent use maintains appearance.
- Hyaluronic acid and panthenol support temporary hydration; seal with moisturizer to reduce transepidermal water loss.
- Centella derivatives help calm skin feel but are not medical treatments.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or compromised skin.
- Avoid using on broken skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
