HA 5 Light
Regular price $18.005-form Hyaluronic Acid Serum: 5 forms of hyaluronic acid in varying molecular weight and structure join forces in this light & fast-absorbing formula to hydrate, soften and plump the skin.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturising factor (NMF) that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This formula focuses on ultra-moisturising high-molecular-weight versions for ample surface hydration as well as on medium-molecular weight versions, whose strong point is to strengthen the skin barrier and to reinforce the skin’s natural defence & healing mechanisms.
We recommend this for all skin types, but especially for combination-oily skin types. For normal to dry skin, explore the Rich version.
| Skin concerns – dehydration, damaged barrier |

INGREDIENTS
Key Ingredients:
✴︎ Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid. Also offers longer-term moisturising benefits.
✴︎ Sodium Hyaluronate: The most common, salt-form of hyaluronic acid that can be found in larger and smaller molecular weight in the formula.
✴︎ Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract: The extract of silver ear mushroom known for its amazing water-binding abilities. It contains sugar constituents including Glucuronic acid, one of the building blocks of Hyaluronic Acid. It also cosmetically elegant, non-sticky, and has additional antioxidant benefits.
✴︎ Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: A smaller molecular weight version of Hyaluronic Acid that is known for its ability to reinforce the skin’s natural defence & healing mechanisms.
✴︎ Panthenol: A classic skincare ingredient that is a reliable soothing, moisturising and skin-protecting agent.
