Key ingredients explained

Hyaluronic Acid

Humectant

As listed: Sodium Hyaluronate

A glycosaminoglycan humectant that binds large amounts of water; high-molecular-weight forms sit on the surface as a hydrating film, low-molecular-weight forms penetrate the stratum corneum. Because it is a humectant, in dry air it can pull water from deeper skin — so apply to damp skin and seal it.

In the guide

Glycerin

Humectant

A small humectant that attracts and holds water in the stratum corneum, delivered into the epidermis partly via aquaporin-3. It raises hydration, improves plasticity and desquamation, and supports barrier recovery — one of the best-evidenced moisturizing agents.

In the guide

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Soothing

As listed: Panthenol

The stable analog of vitamin B5, converted in skin to pantothenic acid. As a humectant it improves hydration and lowers water loss, while soothing irritation, reducing erythema, and supporting barrier repair and re-epithelialization.

Warnings

  • In dry air, always seal with a moisturizer so HA does not draw water outward.

Expert summary

A well-built multi-weight hyaluronic acid; because HA is a humectant, applying to damp skin and sealing it is what makes it hydrate rather than dehydrate.
