Sodium Hyaluronate
A water magnet that plumps the surface — but only if you seal it in.
Hyaluronic acid holds many times its weight in water. Applied to damp skin and then covered with a moisturiser, it makes the surface look plumper and softer almost immediately. Applied to dry skin in a dry room with nothing on top, it can pull moisture out of the deeper layers and leave skin feeling tighter than before. The technique matters more than the product.
Apply to damp skin, always follow with a moisturiser.
