So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Learn more about Sodium HyaluronateHydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a form of hyaluronic acid. It is created by the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight. Once created, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid has a low molecular weight.
Low molecular weight HA has been shown to hydrate and increase elasticity of the skin. Increasing elasticity is also associated with reduction of wrinkle depth.
One study found topical low molecular weight hyaluronic acid may be considered for the treatment of rosacea in the adult population. However, we always recommend speaking with a professional about your skin concerns.

The Formula rx Malazia Hydra Veil Gel Moisturizer 10 ingredients
Lightweight. Absorbs well. Doesn't feel soothing enough.
edit: literally does nothing for my skin.
The only moisturiser that does not break me out nor gives me any fungal acne. Hell yeahhh
Cream Co. Moisturizer 33 ingredients
Honestly, I've seen many different opinions on this product but my experience has been nothing short of amazing. The most visible thing for me was how my skin tone evened out almost right after my first use. One other thing I would like to mention is that it is super lightweight and feels incredible on the skin. Will definitely buy again!
Sadly caused a fungal acne flare up in 2 days only.
