Ingredients Side-by-side
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Trehalose is a disaccharide made of two glucose molecules (glucose is sugar!). Trehalose is used to help moisturize skin. It also has antioxidant properties.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
6 Benefits
Niacinamide has emerged as an all-star ingredient due to its many benefits.
Propanediol helps absorb ingredients into your skin, boosting their benefits. It can act as an emollient, making your skin softer. Propanediol can help products last longer by boosting the properties of preservatives within the formulation.
1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.
Tranexamic Acid is best used for treating hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and melasma. It can also help build a stronger skin barrier.
Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.

I cannot live without it lol
This is one of my HG, period. I have the bigger size at home, I have the medium size at my boyfriend's house and I have the smaller size in my purse so I can have it with me at all times. I use it in my routines before applying my essence and serums and I apply and reapply it many times during the day to keep my face fresh and hydrated. Great to apply after you finish your make-up too!

The original ones are amazing, but this one doesn’t help that well for dark spots, using a derma-roller or vitamin c is much more effective
