You might know this as 'mini' or 'ultra low-molecular weight' hyaluronic acid. The small molecule size means it is able to travel deeper in the skin.

Great toner! I have sensitive skin and this is very soothing. I’ve been using it for three weeks and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my pores and pigmentation. you also get a huge bottle so it's great value for money. I removed a star only because it can be irritating if you have VERY sensitive skin (like I do) and you use it after a BHA cleanser.

It is super hydrating and i use it mostly on those days i dont want to do too much.. I cleanse, use this and sunscreen👏🏾
Great for a compromised skin barrier. Feels super hydrating and occlusive -- similar to a snail mucin texture. Leaves a bit of a sticky/tacky finish, which doubles as a primer under makeup. Also makes the skin super glowy. WRP (just wish it was fragrance-free).
