All time favorites for managing inflammation. Low molecular weight HA will enhance penetration of products so be careful what you use this with.
I gave into the hype and it just ok for me! I will definitely use it up but I haven’t notice much of a difference in my skin. I also feel like she’s ran thru even though I haven’t had her that long. It’s light yet hydrating. I don’t think I’d repurchase again. I have other serums that I like better. :)
