Hyaluronic Supreme Hydration Serum

Most HA serums use a single molecular weight — which means they either sit on the surface or penetrate, but not both. This formula uses both low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid together. High MW HA stays on the skin's surface and forms a film that prevents moisture from escaping. Low MW HA is small enough to pass through the skin's outer layer and hydrate from within. The result is hydration at every level — not just on top. Add 3% Vitamin B5, 10% Aloe Vera, Beta Glucan, and Glycerin, and you have a complete hydration system rather than a single-ingredient serum.

Yes — 2% is considered an optimal and effective concentration for HA in a serum. Some brands use 0.1% or less and still label it as an HA serum. At 2%, you're getting a meaningful, active dose that is clinically relevant. Higher isn't always better with HA — above 2–3%, the formula can become too viscous and absorb less efficiently. What matters more is the molecular weight combination, which is why this serum uses both low and high MW at that 2% total concentration.

Yes. The formula contains no added synthetic fragrance, parabens, or harsh preservatives. The full ingredient list is: Aqua, Aloe Vera Extract (10%), Glycerin (6%), Hyaluronic Acid (2%), Panthenol/Vitamin B5 (3%), Beta Glucan (1%). Every ingredient serves a functional purpose — there are no fillers or masking agents. This makes it particularly well-suited for fragrance-sensitive and reactive skin types.

It's been formulated with sensitive skin in mind and is dermatologically tested. The ingredient list is deliberately short and purposeful — no fragrance, no alcohol, no known high-risk irritants. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Aloe Vera are both clinically recognized skin-calming agents, and Beta Glucan has anti-inflammatory properties. That said, if you have very reactive or allergy-prone skin, we recommend doing a patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours before applying to your face.

Absolutely. Many people with oily skin are actually dehydrated, which causes the skin to overproduce oil to compensate. A water-based, oil-free serum like this one hydrates without adding any greasiness. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and won't clog pores. In fact, properly hydrating oily skin can often reduce excess sebum production over time. Panthenol also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm active breakouts.

All ingredients in this serum — hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B5, glycerin, Beta Glucan, and Aloe Vera — are widely considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. None are flagged as concerns in pregnancy skincare guidelines. However, as with any skincare product during pregnancy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider or dermatologist before introducing new products into your routine.

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant — it works by attracting water molecules and binding them to the skin. When applied to damp skin, it pulls surface moisture deeper. When applied to very dry skin in a dry environment, HA can actually draw moisture upward from deeper skin layers — temporarily making skin feel tighter. Applying to slightly damp skin gives the HA exactly what it needs to perform at its best.

Yes — this is an ideal step before SPF and makeup. The serum absorbs quickly and leaves no oily residue, creating a smooth, plump canvas that foundations and SPFs sit beautifully on. Apply the serum, wait around 60 seconds for full absorption, follow with moisturizer, then apply SPF. The hydration boost actually makes foundation apply more evenly and last longer through the day.

Yes — this serum layers well with virtually every skincare ingredient. Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B5 are both compatible with and often used to buffer stronger actives like retinol or chemical exfoliants. Applying this serum after Vitamin C or before retinol is a common and effective strategy that helps reduce irritation and dryness those actives can cause.

You'll likely notice immediate results after the first use — softer, more plump, more radiant skin within minutes. Longer-term changes — improved elasticity, a consistent glow, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a stronger skin barrier — typically become visible after 2–4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use.

This serum addresses one of the main contributors to fine lines: dehydration. When skin is properly hydrated, fine lines — especially those caused by dryness — visibly soften. Beta Glucan also helps improve skin firmness and elasticity over time. It won't reverse deep wrinkles, but it will make your skin look more rested, plump, and youthful right away.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6–9 months for best potency. Check the PAO symbol on the packaging (e.g. 12M = 12 months after opening).

Refrigeration isn't required, but it's a lovely option. Applying a chilled serum can give a pleasant cooling effect, especially in warmer weather, and may help with puffiness around the eye area. Room temperature storage is perfectly fine for maintaining stability and effectiveness.
