FUNCTION

What it is: 

A must-have hydrating product that won't break your bank. Featuring 3 types of hyaluronic acid - low, medium and high molecular weight - as well as a next-generation HA crosspolymer at a combined concentration of 2% for multi-depth hydration in a water-based formula. This system is supported with the addition of Vitamin B5 which enhances surface hydration, heals damaged areas by strengthening the skin's barrier. This treatment works to deliver lasting hydration and moisture retention which makes the skin appear smoother, plumper and healthier.

The molecular size of HA determines its depth of delivery in the skin, hence, why 3 different molecular weights are chosen to ensure that the product penetrates deep into the skin and covers every crook and cranny. This system is supported by the addition of Vitamin B5 which also enhances surface hydration.

Note: Hyaluronic Acid is found in the skin naturally but its natural function within the skin is not hydration. Many products have used HA to claim hydration benefits, but HA is too large of a molecule to penetrate the skin and instead sits on the surface and can draw moisture out of the skin making the surface feel soft and hydrated temporarily while making you feel like you need more HA after the product is rinsed. This formula uses three forms of HA with varying molecular weights, as well as an HA crosspolymer, to offer multi-depth hydration and visible plumping without drawing water out of the skin solely to improve temporary surface hydration.

Helps to : Hydrating the skin, replenishing cell moisture, reducing wrinkles, and speeding up wound healing
