Why We Love It
A sodium hyaluronate serum built on fractionated hyaluronic acid rather than a single molecule size. Different fragment sizes sit differently on the skin, so hydration holds across the surface instead of only on top. Skin looks plumper, feels smoother and reads less crepey, and the formula is light enough that oily skin can wear it without feeling coated.

Common questions
What is sodium hyaluronate in skincare?
Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. It is smaller and more stable than hyaluronic acid itself, which is why most serums that say hyaluronic acid on the front list sodium hyaluronate in the ingredients. It is a humectant, meaning it holds water, and it can hold a great deal of it relative to its own weight.
Is a fractionated hyaluronic acid serum better than a regular one?
Fractionated means the formula contains several molecule sizes rather than one. Larger fragments hold water at the surface, smaller ones sit closer in. A single size serum can only do one of those things. This is why a fractionated formula tends to feel hydrating for longer rather than tight a few hours later.
Is hyaluronic acid the right hydrating serum for sensitive skin?
It is one of the better tolerated ingredients in skincare, because it holds water rather than acting on the skin. There is no acid activity and no exfoliation, so it does not sting the way an AHA or a retinol can. If your skin reacts to most things, this is usually a safe place to start.
Is hyaluronic acid good for oily skin?
Yes, and oily skin often needs it. Skin that is producing a lot of oil can still be short on water, and dehydrated skin frequently produces more oil in response. A lightweight water serum adds the water without adding oil, which is exactly what oily and combination skin usually wants and rarely gets.
Will a hyaluronic acid serum help with crepey skin?
Crepey skin looks the way it does partly because it is dry, and dry skin shows fine texture more sharply. Hydration will not change the structure of the skin, but well hydrated skin reflects light more evenly and the crepey look softens. Use it on damp skin and seal it with a moisturiser, or it can pull moisture the wrong way in dry air.
How do you use a hyaluronic acid serum so it actually works?
Apply it to damp skin, not dry. A humectant needs water to hold on to, so applying it to a dry face in a dry room gives it less to work with. Press two or three drops in after cleansing or toning, then follow immediately with a moisturiser or oil to seal it. Formulated to leave skin feeling firmer and smoother with regular use.
