- Barrier support with ceramides Ceramides, a natural lipid found in the skin, lock in water while strengthening the skins moisture barrier. This formulation includes ceramides to ensure long-term hydration and help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
- Pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) Supports the production of ceramides and fatty acids to further support the skin barrier. Panthenol also enhances the skins ability to retain moisture.
- Lightweight, non-tacky texture This second-generation hyaluronic acid serum absorbs quickly and dries to a non-tacky finish, making it suitable for layering with other skincare products.
For those who prefer a richer-textured hyaluronic serum, we recommend exploring Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (Original Formulation). This original formulation hydrates and smooths, and offers a richer feel.
