Promising Reviews
"This is by far the most amazing skin product I HAVE EVER USED. I have combo skin and can sometimes get random "bumps" along my forehead. Ever since using this product my skin is so clear, tight, and smooth. It's helped a lot with my confidence and I've even been getting compliments. I also have sensitive skin and can't really use scented products but this product is basically odorless. If you're like me and have to brave cold Canadian winters, combo skin, and in need of hydration, this product is for you!" -Sephora Reviewer
"What a lifesaver! My dry skin absolutely loves this! On days when my skin is especially dry, I rub this into my skin after cleansing and the relief is real! Under a moisturizer, it helps my skin feel nicely moisturized and I've definitely noticed less dry patches under makeup since using it." -Sephora Reviewer
"This made my dry, crepey skin go away in two days. Two. Days. This cold, dry Michigan winter is wreaking havoc on my skin, and this has saved the day. It feels sticky for a few minutes, but just let it sink it. Let your skin drink it up. My skin looks and feels like a million bucks. Follow up with a good night moisturizer to seal the deal, and by morning you’ll think magic happened." -Sephora Reviewer
Dermatologist Recommendation
According to Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Dermatology at Mt. Sinai Hospital, "When it comes to skin care, most treatments take several weeks or months to start to exert their effects. However, there are a few treatments that can give an immediate benefit." Hyaluronic acid is one of these treatments. He explains, "Before bed, apply a hyaluronic acid serum to the face.
Hyaluronic acid is like a sponge that binds to 1000 times its weight in water. Make sure to use damp fingers or apply to a damp face for best results, providing the skin with the water that the hyaluronic acid needs to bind to. Applying before bed means that it can hydrate the skin while you sleep and give you hydrated, bright skin when you wake up in the morning."
