Hyaluronic Acid
A humectant that binds many times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid plumps the surface of the skin and softens the look of fine lines by pulling moisture into the upper layers. It hydrates rather than repairs — and works best layered under an occlusive that seals the water in before it can evaporate.
